is there any fastest legal way to get married here in the philippines?

[Anne]

i am a filipina and i have an american boyfriend and we are palnning to get married here in the philippines but the problem was he will be only staying here for 2 weeks. And it took ten days for us to get the marriage license and get married and we are running out of time. So is there any fastest way to get married legally? ------

well, if you are live-in for 5 years, you ca be married instantly. find a judge in your area and tell your intention to be married. ------

Hello,

maybe you figured it out already and you are happily marreid - then Congrats from me.

If not:
Short cuts on marriages can be expensive - we got married last year July in Cebu. It took as longer than we anticipated - I extended from 2 to almost 4 weeks.

Problem was that just a week earlier the Supreme Court of Manila sent his staff to Cebu for cleaning up the "fast lane" on marriages. We were told that the marraiges of the previous 3 months were supposed to be cancelled because of "short cuts". Don't know it it happend - but we certainly took a longer time to get it all straightend out - and get all the stamps needed.

Good luck - best is to have enough time scheduled and enjoy the additional time in Philippines. The other way is usually a friend knows a friend who knows a friend in the City Hall..... you marry early and get your official papers 10 days later....

Regards,

GeorgeT

When you are planning in getting married it will take a long time before you legally marriage so why not tell your foreign boyfriend that he must stay more than 2 weeks maybe a month so you can get ready planned well...
