    Has anyone been married by a pastor in the Philippines?

    Is it correct that one of you has to be a member of that particular religion?

    Sheina is Catholic and I'm church of England so we are finding it difficult to find the right person to marry us.

    Just an idea of what the requirements will be if you and your partner intend to marry in a Catholic Church.

    MARRIAGE BETWEEN A FILIPINA AND FOREIGNER INQUIRY FOR MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS:


    STEP 1. The foreigner will contact the bishop of the parish church first. This can be done by telephone conversation.

    Step 2. The Filipina will contact the bishop of the parish church also for her own requirements and further instructions and ask for a schedule when to get the checklist of requirements from the office of the Msgr.
    All documents must have a photocopy for office file.

    Step 3. Clearance from the office will be issued as soon as the requirements will be completed.



    This is for the DIOCESE OF DUMAGUETE (I'm not sure with other places)

    REQUIREMENTS FOR MIXED MARRIAGE (One is catholic, one is not but Christian)

    I. FOR FILIPINOS

    A. Should apply ONE MONTH before the date of marriage.
    B. Should presents the following requirements/papers.
    1. Baptismal Certificate( issued within six months with notation for marriage purposes)
    2. Confirmation Certificate
    3. Marriage License (or its corresponding Official Receipt from Local Civil Registrar)
    4. Marriage Contract (if civilly married)
    5. Affidavit of having lived together as husband and wife for at least five years(if already married)
    6. Accomplished Interview Form (provided)
    7. Personal Interview with the bishop of the church (1 month before the date)
    8. Canonical Dispensation(if necessary)
    a. From Proclamation of Banns
    b. From Mixed Marriage
    c. From Disparity of Cult ad cautelam
    d. From Canonical Form
    9. Permit from Parish Origin
    10. Pre-Cana Seminar Certificate(c/o local parish church)
    11. Signed Promises of Parties for Mixed Marriage
    12. Cenomar from NSO(issued within 6 months with notation "for marriage purposes"
    13. Publication of Bans (4 Sundays) They will consider 2 or 3 Sundays only...(Parish origin)

    ....6,7,8,9 and 11 will be given from the cathedral office.

    II. FOR FORIEGNERS

    A. Aside from the requirements referred to in I. FOR FILIPINOS, the following should be presented:
    1. Legal Capacity(from their Embassy) stating their freedom to contract marriage in the Philippines
    2. Xerox copy of Passport
    3. 2x2 pictures (1 copy each both bride and groom)

    B. For Widowers/widows/divorces/non-catholics
    1. Death certificate of previous spouse
    2. Marriage contract of previous marriage
    3. Civil divorce papers
    4. Document on religious affiliation of foreigner
    5. Document on religious affiliation of previous spouse
    6. Declaration of Nullity of previous marriage
    (from the Catholic Matrimonial Tribunal)
    7. Letter of endorsement from their Pastor

    Note: letter of clearance will be issued by the Vicar General to applicants upon completion of all requirements for marriages with Foreigners.

    Thanks for the info.

    Sheina has an appointment with a pastor tomorrow so hoping to have some good news later.

    To get my CNI here should I be looking to get an appointment soon. Are they usually quite busy?

    It's no longer required to secure CNI from UK
    Take a look at some other recent threads on marriage by slip and you'll find all the needed info and links etc

    Now I remember why I had a civil wedding in front of a Judge.

    Needed about a tenth of those forms, took about 15 minutes and cost about 5 quid.

    Marriage certificate there and then (for a small fee), and both on the plane the next week.

    That's what we did, and only Maritess mum & dad plus her sisters and that was the guest list, don't think we spent more than 50 or 60 quid including food transport and all fees also wedding over and done in less than half hour, no hassle at all!

    I didnt mind where I married or wearing what.... But I asked Harlene what she wanted. As for me, it was all about making her happy. As she has already made me the happiest man alive.
