Wedding In The Philippines

My Experience Of Getting Married In The Philippines.

First advice: Bring as many official papers as you can possibly think of!!!

I am a Dutch citizen and my embassy stated on their highly informative website that a birth certificate and a paper stating your status (single, divorced, etc) would do the trick. I brought those two papers to the Dutch consulate here in Cebu and after two weeks I got my "Legal Capacity for Marriage" a paper that says there are no legal barriers for me to get married.
