Marriage in the Philippines - New CNI - March 2014

I'm a little confused.

Am I correct in thinking I have to obtain the forms for the affidavit to marry from the Embassy website?

I then present the affidavit in Manila to obtain the marriage licence.

Sorry to ask.

Correct.

I downloaded the form onto my laptop, filled it out and printed it off. (It does ask for you to fill it out in type and not handwritten)
You then make the appointment at the British Embassy in Manila. Go along and wait to be called, they will go through your documentation and ask you a few standard questions and take payment. Then you wait again and get called into the interview room where in my case the lady asked me a few more questions about my relationship and asked me to read out the affidavit.

Then they give you the required paperwork and you are on your way.

It is worth mentioning you get a choice whether you want to read out the affidavit or the affirmation

That's great. Thanks so much.
