actually sir we have daughter mag 3 this coming december... sinabi ko na po sa kanya dati kung pwede sa Judge muna kami pakasal then sa simbahan... parang mas feel ata nya sa simbahan
gastos un ata hehehe
actually, kung tutuusin, wala rin yatang gastos ang simbahan. minimal lang, para sa service at record, just like a civil wedding. yung gastos yung itsi-buritsi nga. kailangan pa ba ng wedding gown na mamahalin? what really is the function of those flower girls, bridesmaids, maid of honor, and their escorts? magastos yung attires nila, di ba? and they'll be worn only once. you can still have a blessed marriage in the eyes of god without those frills.
weddings such as those bore me, kung ako lang ang tatanungin mo. we follow too much the western tradition that has shades of royalty (thus the 'maid of honor' and etc.) and a dash of fairy tale, for what? photo ops? how important is that to one's marriage? bakit kailangan pa ng audience kung magpakasal, hindi ka naman makikilala nga mga churchgoers a. all you need are two witnesses and the presence of your immediate family members, actually.
if you're not married yet because of financial considerations, i could only wonder whether trappings and frills are more important than a legal and binding blessed union.
