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.
That's because the Philippines is the Mexico of Asia....
Kyrby Caluna Yes, the Spanish conquest left us many things in common
John Lohr That is what I've heard, I want to visit.
And Spain is the Philippines of Europe.
Are the any problems or cultural offenses with having a second wedding for the family of the groom in the states?
Very interesting video Kevin. Thank you Kevin for sharing a filipino wedding with us.
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.
Seems like it was a wonderful event may you all have many blessings and a happy life
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.
thank you for this video. I will be marrying in the Philippines to my Filipino fiance January of 2017. I'm thankful to know what my wedding will be like, since he is a pastor there. thanks again
goodluck and congratulation
Games of Throne thanks:)
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.
Filipino tradition is really enormous and diverse....
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.
Everything you are talking about are catholic traditions that are present in the United States as well. And every Latin wedding.
Many thank's to you for explaining Filipino traditions and legacy of long lasting relationships. Also always sleep in same bed no matter what...
More power to you and your channel. God Bless you and your family with good health and prosperity.
Having a church wedding is more exciting than a civil wedding
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.
Hello. I am planning in visiting my Fiancé in March 2019 and then return again in June 2019 for our wedding, possibly in Dakak Beach Resort. Looking at various options. Thank you for the great video!
Is it normal for the foreigner to pay for the entire wedding?
Thank you
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.
Getting married in June. Thanks for sharing this
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.
Yet here in the West, it is the Bride's family who covers 95% of the bill.
He should have gotten a bride from Belarus or the Baltic Republics.
Just a note the spaniards invaded the phelipines the spanish traditions are also phelipinos traditions like in a spanish traditions for wedding the contract is from married by law
Great tips Kevin. I'm plan on getting married this year to my beautiful Filipina fiancé. Hopefully her parents can come to America for our wedding. Quick question about when the bride and groom are on their knees are they signing the marriage license?
Thank you for sharing! I'm filipino and I didn't realize these were specific traditions to us until you pointed them out!
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.
great wedding! thank you for sharing and making this video. can I ask something? my fiance will coming this November and we will planning to have Wedding on December, I heard so many things from different people around, his relatives says that, American must have a good income to married a Filipina? is it true? I couldn't find out now because I am still here in Taiwan, I am working here right now and be back home on October, please tell me how you did all the paperwork for your marriage, thank you
Thank you for all you valuable information. ❤
WOW!!! Very Precious. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. I would have never had a clue it would be so gracious for the bride. I am more the guy who would be, lets just say I do and get out of town. But this is so sweet the bride will always be very thankful for the memories.
Kevin, Thank You for the videos and advice you've givin!! such a big help along the way! God Bless!!
Loooooong, drawn out, boooooring wedding. I was fighting to stay awake at my own wedding... it seemed like an eternity. I had no idea what was going on the whole time, they were preparing to sacrifice me to a volcano god for all knew.
Thanks for sharing
They are called sponsor's to witness naptual your wedding day tell death do as part to show to the people, relatives, in-laws how you love so much your wife.! Wedding here in Philippines no devorce.?!!
Nice video kuya. The best role in the wedding is the arras boy. I was an arras boy (coin bearer) the last time I was in Manila.
My wedding is exactly like this which is awesome right hahaha thank you for accepting our pilipino wedding tradition
Thank you for the informative tutorial of a Filipino wedding. Blessings...
I saw the money dance in Mexico too. Kevin you say you liked that part because you were broke....hehe. ...you scare me...it means the wedding was too expensive....i may be getting married there this fall and I wonder how much money I'll need for that...fortunately my girl is in province so it should be cheaper than in a big city
You are correct on the translation. I'm Filipino and my husband to be is American. I'm trying to corporate traditional Filipino traditions. The Ninang and Ninong are translation of God parents.
Very beautiful video sir God bless you thank you for taking the time to share
Mr.Kevin just ask if affidavit of lieu (certificate to contract marriage) if can get in US or must go to the US embassy in Philippines ...thanks
great wedding! thank you for sharing and making this video. can I ask something? my fiance will coming this November and we will planning to have Wedding on December, I heard so many things from different people around, his relatives says that, American must have a good income to married a Filipina? is it true? I couldn't find out now because I am still here in Taiwan, I am working here right now and be back home on October, please tell me how you did all the paperwork for your marriage, thank you
Hello can I ask about what is the easy way, we getting married here in Philippines of my American boyfriend or we use the k1 fiance visa?? Thank you..
Thank you for the info. Question did the contract you signed done by the Church or is it a government document? I went to a wedding in the Philippines at a Four Square Church and don't recall the contract signing . but everything else you brought up was spot on 😃
the money dance is very popular with the catholics in the Louisiana area, all my family does it.
Thank you for such an informative video. I am getting married in Davao City next June to my amazing Philippine fiancé and am studying the traditions there. Very helpful thank you again
Thanks for sharing it was very informative and precise also what a great way to honor you and your wife’s wedding memory!
so in an american tradition youll see that americans also get a contract and get married by law
Thanks for making this video! Don't get me wrong, I love being Filipino but I don't know if I'd want to incorporate some of the traditional stuff if I were to do a catholic ceremony. 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 ;)
you didnt mention the BEST MAN
Thank you for sharing.
thanks for sharing with us. I really enjoyed watching this video though I know everything because I am Filipina and the good thing that came on my mind is ,,,,, not all American are rude. my heart is beating towards them but I need only one of course hehehe.
Never give up
I love your videos and I enjoyed your channel I was wondering if the groom has to give the bride dowry like us in the Middle East lol thank you
Is it in western culture too ? I'm just curious
Good Luck, God Bless
My favorite part is the pinning of the money. Just makes me smile. Beautiful wedding! Thanks for sharing.
Kevin Sanders haha i know .. same here
😂
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
Shame about all the un-married mothers
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.
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?
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. :)
***** Yep, especially if one wants a civil wedding.
Actually, the largest cost of any Filipino wedding is usually the food. LOL.
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'.
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.
Thanks, and thanks (I think)
Thank you again Kevin! That did cross my mind, and yes, that is the important part sir. Best wishes to you always!
I reviewed the older sister's invitation with my gal this morning and now think I have a firm understanding, as it lists all the participants there. : )
So what was the total cost of the wedding.
4k 💷
👍👍👍👍👍👍

PANLASANG PINOY MENUDO

i notice u have a rice cooker. u need to put ur foot down before its too late man or next thing u know ur house will b filled with asian lamps and ducks hangin from the ceiling..
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.
Yes i was just joking :)
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.
