    A while back I talked about getting married in the Philippines but I was focusing more on the logistics of the marriage license, spousal visa, etc. I decided to do a video on the wedding traditions that you'll see if you attend (or participate in) a ceremony in the Philippines.

    Mexico here! Very similar, the coins are called las arras, the cord is el lasso, we also have sponsors or padrinos.

    Kevin these are fantastic videos as I am considering meeting and intentionally seeking a Filipino woman for eventual marriage. In my search how would you recommend a man go about searching for a christian woman? I also would like to see relational perspectives from your wife as well. Thanks

      First of all brother - pray and seek God, putting Him first in your life. He will guide you :) There are many wonderful Christian ladies in the Philippines, you can find many on-line.

    Kevin I have a question for you. When you had your wedding in Baguio city. Were you already Catholic? I'm asking because I'm Catholic but my fiancé isn't but we are still having a Catholic wedding just without the Mass portion. Do you recall when you did the placing of the Cord and Veil? I am trying to incorporate this tradition at least into my wedding as well as others if possible since my wedding is in May. Thanks again for your time.

    When I got married in the Philippines almost 17 years ago, they put the figure 8 cord around our necks in the ceremony. I was surprised. I was kind of wondering if someone was going to cinch it up really tight to really tie us together. There wasn't money tied to our clothes. That is a surprising tradition I hadn't heard of. We got married in the Philippines and in the USA. The legal ceremony was in the USA so she could come to the US sooner under the Fiance visa. To my mind, we were committed at the first ceremony. It helps for you and your spouse to be of the same Christian faith, which we are. I have been financially generous towards my Filipino family which is an outgrowth of the love I have for my wife. Her family appreciates it and pray for us and my business.

    • @gi2bull
      @gi2bull 3 роки тому

      Yup! Traditional Filipino wedding is also a wedding of families. That may be changing now and wed couples distance themselves from families. Family dynamics of course is a big factor and that varies by family. We hear some people give generalizations here simply based in their particular experience.

  • @MrUnified21
    @MrUnified21 7 років тому +2

    Thanks Kevin! I am planning to wed my bride to be in Sagay area, later this year, and we are just starting our planning. I am on a serious budget but, I certainly want to accommodate all the guests well, as well as assure my wife has a wonderful day, feeling beautiful in her gown, and just very happy and content. I want to get some clarification from you, if I may Kevin. About the sponsors verses the God parents or the other name for them you gave. These are different people? The God parents are held in higher esteem? I told my gal, I would pick her Aunt and Uncle as my sponsors and she would have her parents as hers. Just confused about the different roles they play in the ceremony. By the way, thanks for sharing you wonderful pictures.
    PLEASE elaborate on this part for me, about who, what they do, what they represent, and stand for. Your help is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Steve J. in Florida.

    • @shangmelissaable
      @shangmelissaable 7 років тому +5

      not just for the foreigner but basically the groom pays (foreigner or not). But if the bride's family wants to offer financial assistance then that's fine also.

    • @Gopherscott

    • @ivanreyes6824
      @ivanreyes6824 6 років тому +1

      Melissa is right. The groom is expected to pay all or most of the expenses regardless of the nationality. Presumably, the groom is the provider and should be able to provide by spending most or all of the wedding expenses. Of course, the bride's family may offer financial assistance.

    Kevin,
    You and your wife had a very beautiful wedding. It looked like your wedding and reception was held in the same venue. Is that correct? Showing pictures in your video adds more to content overall than just listening to you speak. Just my two cents worth.

It just seems like sooooo much more to do, more people, etc... I'd like to keep it as simple yet meaningful as it can be...but who knows! I may change my mind ;)

    Congratz on your Lovely Family Kuya. For Filipinos, weddings are sacred it's not something that when you feel done for will end according to your will. That's why we take a lot of time choosing the right one :). That's the reason why we have fewer broken families compared to other countries. Btw, i agree with you on wedding foods, In most areas of the Philippines Wedding Events are equal to Fiesta/ Festival Event .ehehehe Because of many participants and a lot of food. But in urban areas, this most likely rarely happen because obviously of the cost of living is higher. :D

    • @amvora777
      @amvora777 7 років тому

      I don't think there are fewer 'broken' families in Philippines. Cheating by married men is rampant and the husband having children with other women is common. Yes, officially there are fewer broken families due to no divorce being allowed, but when the man sleeps around and/or produces offspring from other women, that is a broken family.

  • @Muirnoire
    @Muirnoire 8 років тому

    Interesting. Headed along this path with my lovely partner. At the risk of appearing inappropriate could you share a ballpark figure for facilities, flowers food, officiants, dress, suit, rings, photography and other incidentals? Looks like a lovely wedding. I'm assuming that the groom would provide for the financial aspect of this event in a Fil- Am wedding?

    • @EricCorbeza
      @EricCorbeza 8 років тому

      The most basic is 100k and the average cost of weddings is at 200k-300k.
      That's in Philippine pesos.
      (disclaimer: it's based on my experiences with my friends' weddings)
      In the olden days, it's always the groom and his family that shoulders the cost of the wedding... nowadays it depends on the couple. :)

    • @EricCorbeza
      @EricCorbeza 8 років тому

      ***** Yep, especially if one wants a civil wedding.
      Actually, the largest cost of any Filipino wedding is usually the food. LOL.

    • @amvora777
      @amvora777 7 років тому

      With large and extended families, I wonder if food runs out. Do more people show up than were invited? I know if I invite people in Philippines for a meal, I have to specify exactly who is included and that no extra person is welcome. Many are more than happy to come for a free 'treat'.

  • @MrUnified21

    Thanks so much for sharing this with us Kevin. My fiancee' and I will be getting married in the Philippines in November of 2017. I am trying to keep these different aspects sorted out in my head so I will show honor to my bride and her family then. I just got a sample of a wedding invitation from my gal also and I see it lists so much more detail than an American invitation does, although it is a photo she sent, of it, and it is hard to read it. I ask her to see if the wedding coordinator would E-mail me a copy of this document. So much to do to be ready in 6 more months.

    • @MrUnified21

    • @cdelosre2006
      @cdelosre2006 7 років тому +1

      Disabler That is highly disrespectful. I as a Filipino that grew up here in the United States and have visited the Philippines to visit family still living there. Filipino families do not do that. That maybe for families that are in the more rural areas but again it depends more on the family and how their state of living is. Please don't make assumptions such as that there will be all these extra stuff going on. It is traditional for there to be a rice cooker in the household, because we eat rice with most of our meals.

      It's that whole "saving face" thing, man.. You can't say anything negative about anything or anyone ever (even if it's a joke). They get all butthurt. It's pretty much 99% of an entire society of 100,000,000 people with the emotional maturity of a 10 year old.
