your in for a cutural shock buddy. best advise to give you is don’t marry until you know her for at least a period of 6 months to 1 year. She may be beautiful but is there more too her??????????
do you have a civil wedding or church wedding??
better wear a barong on your wedding day it is very comfortable and you will look very elegant on it
ask your wife to- be the word “mano po”always respect the elders all the time and always say “salamat po”the wedding is not much different than other weddings just more relatives thats all
before i forget watch your etiquete all the time and dont get drunk!!!!
It depends on what kind of ceremony you like. It can be in the church or civil wedding. The tradition is that you will wear a barong. It’s much conferable. I got married inside of the country club and i had catering. My ceremony was at my reception area. Even though its civil wedding I had Ninong and Ninangs. And had 3 brides maids. So you can do whatever you want. It took us to prepare our wedding for 1 week. And everything worked out.
Mabuhay! Filipinos love to celebrate & no mater how bad he economy, people still want o get married in style. They save up for it. Weddings in the Philippines is fun & exciting. It’s made up of caterers, planners, & coordinators, designers, beauticians, photographers, video recorders, souvenir shops, car renters & honeymoon destinations. ♥^-^♥
A few months is kinda too fast….word of advice…try to know her more…cause you might get more than what you bargain for. Some of them disguise themselves as nice & sweet women. But when you’re married its gonna be like buy me this buy me that. You might end up spending so much.
Before marrying her, get to know her better. She might be already married or have children. There’s a lot of cases like this.
Anyway, wedding in the philippines can get very expensive, especially if your a foreigner because they would make you pay for everything. You also have to fork out money for the bridemaid dresses and flower girls.
Then there are the girls, when you invite 2 people, the possibilities is those two guest would invite another guest along. So if you are having it in a hotel, make sure the invitation states clearly how many pax are invited.
Another thing are the sponsors, Filipinos are fond of having a lot of sponsors.
You’ll be broke if you serve beer or liquor during the reception, the possibility of a fight is also highly likely. My sister and I didn’t serve any beer or liquor during our weddings, it saved us a bundle. We only gave wine for the toast.
But filipino wedding is magical if planned right. Apply for the licence, talk to the priest or the justice of peace, discuss with her who will be the sponsors, the bridesmaid, flowergirls, whether your parents, siblings and friends are coming or not so you can prepare accomodation for them.
Just be sure you get to know her first before embarking in this matrimony.
Anyway, best wishes.
Expensive wedding! those who gets invited despite what is stated in the invitation , Mr. & Mrs Angderson. The one who will attend will be the whole family! 1+1= 5
Definitely wedding in the Philippines includes the whole clan. From grandparents to the youngest member of the family. Sometimes, you are married to the whole family, better step out of your in-laws house! You thought it is free but the next time, you will find out that you are already married to the CLAN.
I am not a Filipina nor married to a Filipina, but I am dating a lovely one. We have known each other about 6 months and met at Church, but it is too soon for us to be planning a wedding. However, if you are sure that your fiancee is the one, a wedding in PI is not as expensive as in the US. Even though there will many more guests than expected (Filipinos love to go to weddings), even a hotel wedding will be less than in the US. My son’s wedding in America cost over $ 15,000.
Before you wed, try to get to know her better and get to know her family. While many of the girls on these online dating services are sincere, educated, and good women, there are a few who are looking at you like an ATM.
I assume you know you have to get a certified document from your embassy which states you can legally get married (proof of divorce, death of earlier spouse, never been married, etc.).
Best wishes for a long and loving marriage.
I am a U.S. citizen living in Bogo, Cebu Philippines, married to a Filipina and a permanent resident here. If you would like or need more information than what has been given you (most I agree with) you can email me by clicking on my ID. But if not, one thing to remember is this
1.Filipino custom and culture when it comes to getting married to a foreigner (for some) is what ever they want it to be and what ever they can get you to agree on ( I am not being mean so to the others don’t get all bent out of shape-you know it is true).
What I am saying is if and when you do get married if there is something she wants and you don’t mind paying for it and won’t hold it against her later then go for it.
2. Holding off for awhile longer is a good idea, if she is just after your money she will give herself away by wanting you to spend even you tell her you need to save for the wedding.
3.No matter what you hear (NOT ALL) Filipinas are after a ticket to the U.S. or wherever.
4. There are things you need to come to an understanding of before you get married like where you want to live, do you want kids, are you going to help support her family if not will she get angry at you, you need to be honest and tell her what you will and will not do.
