Paperworks

This may be a boring post but really essential- a guide to Catholic Marriage Requirements here in the Philippines. :) I got this one from this site.

Planning a wedding can be both exciting and exhausting at the same time. After setting the date and booking the venues for the ceremony and reception, comes the legal matter: the required documents to make the union possible and valid. A couple of legal age who wish to marry should first secure a license to get married. Then, there are other documents needed to complete the set of requirements and they vary for every religion, nationality, and status of each individual.
To guide you in obtaining the legal documents needed, here is a list of the more common requirements needed in a Philippine Catholic wedding:
  1. Marriage License – 4 months validity (for civilly married couples, submit registered marriage contract)
  2. Baptismal Certificate – with annotation “For Marriage Purposes”; 6 months validity
  3. Confirmation Certificate – with annotation “For Marriage Purposes”; 6 months validity
  4. Publication of Wedding Bans for 3 consecutive Sundays in the parish of the bride and groom and permission from the parish of the bride.
  5. Catholic seminar
  6. Canonical interview
  7. List of principal sponsors (to be given to the parish, where you are getting married).
To secure a Marriage License, you also need to accomplish the following:

  1. NSO – certified birth certificate
  2. CENOMAR – Certificate of No Marriage, also certified by NSO.
  3. Parental Consent for couples aged 18 to 21 or Parental Advice for those 22 to 25 years old.
  4. Passport sized picture
  5. Residence certificate
  6. Seminar – conducted by the Division of Maternal and Child Health at the Municipal/City Hall.
  7. Duly accomplished Application Form
We'll be having our Canonical Interview on July and Dale needs to have his Sacrament of Confirmation ASAP!! Haha!

Reception Venue Hunt

Until now we haven't booked our reception venue, I KNOW!! When we booked Hizon's, Irin panicked that until now we hadn't decided yet with the venue. Initially, we wanted North Forbes Pavillion and our minds was set to it. But because we took too long to arrange the booking, by the time we actually went to the office, it was already booked. Anyway for Makati weddings, you can check them out.

The Church Hunt

The biggest piece of them all, where we say "I Do". Dale and I were both Thomasians. So of course, we wanted to get Married and the UST Church. There was no second thoughts at first, we dropped by as early as September 2013 to book the Church. But admin people told us that they'll start reservations for November 2013 after the semestral break. So we waited.

The Promise

One of the things I'm most excited about if the Wedding Vow. Well I'm not even sure if personal vows are allowed at St. John Bosco, haha! But I'm excited to write one. I was looking at Facebook when I came through this article . It was a blog about revising your own vows you made during your wedding, something more realistic. She said, " Yes, marriage vows are meant to be idyllic and inspiring, to remind us that true love still exists, to bring an entire room to tears. Our wedding day promises are about love and hope and how we'll come from our best, not about housecleaning or self-development or what to do when we feel like murdering each other. Imagine the nervous laughter (or horror) if someone vowed to only hate her husband for short periods of time? None of us can possibly know at the outset what our marriage will bring or what tools we will need. Marriage has challenged almost every assumption I had about myself and my husband. It has asked me to stret...
