Civil Wedding

[babypink0224]

Me and my fiance are planning to get married this year, but I wanted only a civil wedding (for now)..
He lives in Caloocan and I live in Pasay, yes - North and South..
I was thinking of Makati for the ceremony, though hindi talaga sya half way.. 'coz I've read in some blogs na maganda daw yun place for Civil wedding ceremonies.

Any other suggestions?

Question mga sis. Pumunta ako sa regional trial court dito sa biñan. Sabi ko magpapaschedule ako ng kasal. Ang sabi balik kami sa april 23 10am. Magraraffle pa daw kasi ng judge. Then after dun na din magbabayad. That time and day na rin ba ang wedding?  O after ng raffle dun pa lang magseset ng date? Sa 27 na kasi expiration ng license namin. Hay di ko na natanong ng maayos dun sa babae.  Ang sungit kasi!

[ghye]

^Magraffle sila para malaman kung kaninong judge kayo ma-asign then pag alam niyo na punta kayo doon sa judge and set the date of your civil wedding.

[sibeauako]

Naku dun pa lang pala iseset ang date. Thanks sa sagot sis

TS, ask ko lang bakit hindi na lang either sa Caloocan or sa Pasay kayo mag Civil wedding? Saka pwede ba yun sa ibang city kung hindi kayo run nakatira?

Kung gusto mo sa Supreme Court kasi may nakita akong blog na ganun 

In my case it was held last Friday April 11. Supposed to be ang plano naming Sponsors ay yung Tito ng hubby ko saka yung sister in law ko. Then sinama yung 2 Councilor ng QC and Vice Mayor which is pumayag naman ako. Nagulat na lang ako na kung bakit yung 2 politicians lang ang nakalitaw sa marriage license namin as witness hindi nakapirma yung sil ko and yung tito ng hubby ko. Though not much a deal naman pero good thing Joy Belmonte was able to sign our contract nitong wedding day as in she appeared personally. She even gave us 5k worth of certificate from SM which is big thing to us. Yung sa Councilor hindi na nga nag appear at wala pa kaming natatanggap na gift  though not a big deal dahil we don't want to expect rin naman. Yung representative lang nag sign.

Mga sis my Foreigner bf gusto nya na ako pakasalan pag uwi nya (JULY) kaso 10 days lang sya dito mag stay pano kaya yun? kasi kya biglaan ang kasal gusto nya na ayusin papers ko papunta US. Thank you. 

[BDJ]

^Well why don't you ask him regarding his intentions? American ba yang foreign bf mo? it maybe true na gusto ka niyang gawing American citizen agad. Kung 10 days lang siya rito meaning after kasal he will leave again alone tapos hindi ka muna kasama?

Is it ok kaya na sa ibang lugar magpakasal?
Case kase namin, we processed all the documents in Manila
But since yung judge hall is very busy this month
We decided na lang to pull out the docs
And sabi nung nag assist saken from rtc of that area
Ok lang daw na ipull out namin at ok lang
Kung sa province kami pakasal as long as
Valid yung date ng marriage license.
Is it true?

[ghye]

Yes, it's true. Pwedeng sa province, on your church or sa church ng husband mo as long as the marriage license is still valid and hindi nag expire.  Just present the marriage license sa officiating officer.

[Len0523]

Oh I see. Thank you. I am bit bothered actually, thought I have to go thru another processing of documents or re-apply marriage license in h2b's province.

Me and my hubby we're married there in Makati City Hall, we both don't live there I'm working lang in CBD that time '08, maganda ang facilities ng courts nila bago kc ang bldg, depende rin sa personality ng judge un magiging takbo ng ceremony

[BDJ]

Curious lang ako sa iba how long yung naging ceremony ng wedding niyo sa Civil? Mine kasi parang 10 to 15 minutes lang ata eh!

I have a guy friend, yung pinay gf nya from US (not sure if immigrant or US citizen na) had a civil wedding last september 2013.  Ang gusto ng girl, pagdating nya ng pinas, pakasal na sila (mga 5 days after she arrived)  so yung friend ko, inasikaso na nya lahat ng wedding preps.. all set na lahat, date ng wedding, reception and pati honeymoon.. Then, eto na.. dumating na yung girl.. sabi ng immigration..  hinde daw sya pwede magpakasal agad.. kailangan nya muna magstay ng ilang days (i think 15 days) dito sa pinas bago sya magpakasal.. so nangyari.. na move yung wedding ng 1 week. nauna tuloy yung honeymoon bago ang civil wedding 

anyway, ask first muna sa embassy/immigration kung pwede ba pakasal agad pagdating dito sa pinas.

ask ko lang mga sis, how much nagagastos nyo sa civil wedding nyo?

[ghye]

^More or less ten thousand pesos.  We just put on our best clothes then proceeded to the venue, sa court.  Then we had our reception at home.  All our foods are home cooked, no catering or orders from outside except for the lechon but that was sponsored by my mom.  Close friends and relatives and neighbors are our guests.  Plenty of left over foods, we brought it with us the next day as our baon for an overnight swimming at Laguna.

ask ko lang mga sis, how much nagagastos nyo sa civil wedding nyo?

Depende kung saan or kung anong klaseng civil wedding. Just like in our case nasa P2,500 to 4000 ata yun pero of course civil wedding lang ha. Reception depende naman yan kung paano niyo gagawin.

[Maldita AKO]

Mura din pla.. As of now kasi pinag-uusapan na namin ni HTB Kung civil or church wedding e.. Nagtanong din ako sa mga officemates ko kung magkano inabot ng gastos nila.. Yung iba nasa 60-70k daw civil wedding din yun

[BDJ]

^Ang mahal naman  kung Civil wed lang yan baka naman kasi bongga yung reception or pinabongga nila ang set up. Tapos isama mo pa na may wedding ring din yan. Kasi sa Civil it's optional unlike sa Church alam ko they are requiring it.

[Maldita AKO]

^sinabi mo pa sis. Yung isang officemate ko sa hotel yung reception, yung isa sa house ang reception kaya daw ganun kalaki kasi dalawang bahay ang pinaghandaan nila. Wala pang catering yun sila sila lang ang nagluto

[BDJ]

^Kaya naman pala  eh kami 2500 lang tapos Shakeys na monster deal  so parang nasa 6k lang inabot namin kung kasama reception.
