Acacia Hotel for Wedding Preps

Upon searching for a place where we can prepare for our wedding proper, we stumble at this new 5 star cozy hotel in Alabang, the Acacia Hotel,   At that time, we were in a rush and nobody was available to attend to our query right away.  Since we thought that it would be expensive to stay there considering the ambiance, we decided to scout for another place.

Parque España was just across Acacia so we decided to proceed there.  The place was fine but the hallways are narrow.  Here's also the price range given to us.

Along Madrigal in Alabang, just across Alabang Town Center and Metro we also checked on B-Hotel.  It is a 3-star hotel version of The Bellevue in Alabang.  Here's what they have to offer.

We're supposed to book B Hotel already but with violent reactions from family members claiming that it might take sometime going to and from The B Hotel we tried to think it over and re-visit the Acaica.  

This time we were accommodated, we were even given discount if we'll book by then.  Considering the amenities and being a 5 star hotel with a slight difference with a 3 star hotel price,  we decided to buy in.  Here's what we were able to avail.

One on one interview with the Priest

Right after our Application for Marriage License, we proceed to St. Peregrine Laziosi to attend the schedule interview with the Parish Priests.

After few minutes of waiting, I was asked to get in his office. Few introduction of each other and short love story of  us was shared. By the way, it was only between me and the priest.  Later on, personal questions are being dig in.  It was personal but sensible.

Same thing was done to h2b during his turn to talk with  father.  We were both continuously praying that whatever challenge that we may encounter in the future, may we be able to conquer them and stand still for each other.

Marriage License Application

Last October 2, 2012 we dropped by the new San Pedro Municipal Hall to request for our Marriage license.  Both of us were residing in San Pedro, Laguna for decades now.  It was a P50 tricycle ride from our village.

As we reached the Municipal Hall, we were asked to secure Application Form for marriage license at the Local Civil Registrar.

The personal appearance of those getting married is required in applying for a marriage license. These are the requirements:

1. NSO Birth Certificate: Certified True Copy required of each the contracting parties with the respective registry number.
2.CENOMAR (Certificate of no marriage for both parties): Certified true copies are required
3. Parents' Consent (for 18-21 years old) or Parent's Advice (for 21-25 years old) which is a written indication that the parents are aware of the couple's intent to marry.
4. Certificate of Attendance in a pre-marital counseling and family planning seminar conducted by the Division of Maternal and Child Health at the Municipal/City Hall in the same municipality or city where the contracting parties applied for the marriage license.

We were also asked to pay P650 for the following.

After applying for the marriage license, it will be posted at the Local Registrar for 10 days, after which the marriage license will be issued. The license is valid for 120 days from date of issuance and may be used anywhere in the Philippines.
