Living in The Philippines > Relationships

Marriage in USA contrasted with it in Philippines

(1/4) > >>

Pelican:
Simply, I've been faced with the 'undying' love of a two month relationship who insists on marriage in USA, as opposed to Philippines.  I suspect ulterior motive.  What are the major reasons a Filipina would demand this?  Thanks for any input.

I assume you are in contact with a Filipino, not a Fil/Am

The practicalities of getting her/him to the US, after a relatively short relationship must be very, very small, if not impossible. Some folks have reported waiting for years for the correct visa to have their intended join them in the US.

The most likely reason, I would posit, for the author of 'undying' love of a two month relationship" to wish to be married in the US, would be they would have to travel to, and be in, the US to marry there; and when there, who knows if "Bye bye sucker!"  :( :( is the real reason.

Most Filipinas we know, want their wedding to be celebrated in front of their family and friends. In the majority of these instances, the family and friends are in the Philippines.

Just my, somewhat cynical, thoughts.

I'll call this a dice roll?
Many Filipinas(o) still believe the land of the big PX is still the greatest dream in the world.. and for some it truly is even after living here many years.
And you are correct Peter...we had a family we knew back in Minnesota that waited 19-20 years under the system. I said to Moma  " I hope it is the dream they thought it is or otherwise that is a long wait to be disappointed".
Go for it...what do you have to lose...all marriages are a gamble.

jjcabgou:
undying love after two months?   I am assuming you are here in the Philippines already and have spent considerable time with this woman.  Is that a correct assumption?  Two months is not very long at all, under any circumstances.  Having said that, I agree with Peter.   If you agree with Peter, it may be time to reevaluate your undying love.

MotorSarge:
True JJ...the honeymoon fragrance may still be in effect.....ouch if not physically together that may be the...just the physical beautiful Filipina magnet attraction.
As for me I know Filipinas are best fishermen in the world.
Hard not to get hooked by some of the most beautiful women in the world....physically, mentally, familywise,...the FOOD  and all around, etc, etc etc!.

I  support ya follow your feelings Pelican.
