Anyone think this is stupid af?

@GwydionFrost idk man I don’t know much about this type of stuff cuz I’ve never planned on marrying a foreigner. All I know is he is married her in the phillipines and says it applies to here as well.

@Daniel1120 He should read this. Of course, since he is convinced he's all good, maybe you should just keep it as a reference when things go horribly off course. ;)

[quote]According to information provided by the U.S. consulate, [b]before you can obtain a marriage license to wed in the Philippines, you, the U.S. citizen or resident, must first submit a "Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage" from your embassy[/b]. Unfortunately, the U.S. embassy does not feel it can provide this exact document, and will instead give you an “Affidavit In Lieu of Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry.” Some of the local registrars have been known to refuse to accept this affidavit; you will have to find one who does accept it. Instructions on how to make an appointment to obtain this Affidavit are given on the “U.S. Citizens Services” page of the embassy website.

At a minimum, the U.S. citizen will need to present the documents below – and additional items (such as baptismal and confirmation certificates) if it’s a church rather than a civil wedding:

evidence that any of your past marriages have ended, such as a divorce decree or death certificate

U.S. passport

documentation regarding paternal consent or advice if you are under age 24 (as described below).

You can be legally married in front of a judge, minister, or other person authorized by the Philippines government. [b]If either of you is between the ages of 18 and 21, you must provide written parental consent[/b]; and if either is between age 22 and 24, you must show that you have received parental advice. Philippine law does not allow marriages by anyone under 18.

You will need to plan ahead for [b]a ten-day waiting period between the filing of your application for a marriage license and its issuance[/b]. The license is good for up to 120 days.

[b]After the ceremony, you will need to wait another ten days before you can obtain a certificate of that marriage for purposes of U.S. immigration.[/b][/quote]

Note that this process took 20 of the 24 days he was there.

@aaatheaaa I’ve actually known him since third grade and am friends with him but I along with another guy we both know and my girlfriend think this is really stupid. I mean do you think it’s a good idea for someone to get married after barely being with her let alone hardly even spending actual time together?

@aaatheaaa I’m sorry what? Lmfao idgaf about attention from anyone on this site lmao you sound like a little bitch dude.

@wakanda4eva are you people kidding me? 😂😂 the dude has seen her once before in person. They haven’t even dated for a year. Any of his past relationships havent last beyond 3 months. None of his family has ever even met her.

well I need to know what kind of person he is before I judge em lol some people just fall in love that quick like Romeo and Juliet or les miserables

@wakanda4eva well I can assure you he’s the type of person that just throws love around like it’s just a word.

@Mondayschild I mean personally I think it’s really dumb and won’t work but I hope for the best for these guys.

@heybrosiambrad17 what? You telling me it’s perfectly fine that he gets married after netting this girl in person twice and haven’t even dated for a year?

@Peekaboo20 I hope it does work out for the guy but honestly I don’t think it will.
