What type of ceremony did you (or will you) choose? - Page 3

We were married in a hot air balloon. The actual (civil) ceremony took place about 1,100 feet in the air over Charlottesville, Virginia (USA).

We found a female attorney (civil celebrant) who was wacky enough to go up in the balloon with us. The balloon pilot was the witness.

Eventually we will have a religious ceremony in PI (or maybe just a party with a few dozen neighbors and relatives).

All Best,
Robert & Maria

Sadly yes it is true, I could not give my wife the dream wedding she has always wanted. At the time we both wanted to be married to each other, and I knew I was on a limited budget.

BUT I have given my WORD to my WIFE that we will have her dream wedding before she leaves Cebu to be here with me, and she will have it yet again when she is here with me, since 99% of my famiy and friends won't be able to go to the Philippines.

So...1 man, 1 woman, 3 weddings....If the old saying of 3rd times the charm is true, then so should the old saying practice makes perfect....

Or that I am 3 times lucky....either way. I will make my wife happy foras long as we BOTH shall live.

Bob,

Uhmm.. how do you define official? We're having the first wedding in the US because it's needed for the K1, and because half of my family and most of his family are there. But we're also having another church wedding in the Philippines for the other half of my family and friends. And well, there's no divorce in the Philippines..

church wedding for us, last year in september. we got married at malate catholic church, where i got baptized. his parents were able to come over but not his siblings as they already have families, and bringing the whole family to the philippines is very expensive. my family is from cavite, his is from pangasinan. our principal and secondary sponsors all came from family members. a week later, we had a reunion-reception at pangasinan.

We had a Church Wedding in Cagayan de Oro City on February 2004. It's a once in a lifetime event that I will always cherish for the rest of my life.

we had a church wedding in cebu. what made it more memorable was that his family and some of his closest friends came all the way from france to witness the event.

My beautiful wife and I were married in a very traditional wedding ceremoney by a Judge who was a friend of the family. The wedding took place at Montebello Villa Garden Resort in Banilad, Cebu City and included all the traditional rites with the exception of the communion. We had the coinbearer and ring bearers, flower girls, six sponsors, a best man, two bridesmaids and groomsmen, the unity candles and unity rope, and solumn prayers and a very religious environment. It was a beautiful wedding!
