I spent Christmas and New Years together at Cyril's home with all the family. Great time.We also are working on getting Cyril's birth certificate corrected, Postal ID, Barangay papers, and everything else so Cyril can apply for passport and have everything in order to be able to marry. We also get a bank account for us at Metro Bank. Fourth visit was March 25 - April 4. Cyril met me in Makati and we stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel there. Went to Registrar to inquire about marriage license requirements and attended pre marriage seminar in San Franscisco, Agusan Del Sur . We explored the city and Manila and also met her brother in Cubao. Fith visit I went first to Manila where I went to U.S. Embassy and apply for the affidavit of capacity to contract marriage. Then I fly to Butuan and take bus with Cy to San Francisco. We have Catholic Church premarriage seminar there. We complete the papers for our marriage license and submit all our birth certificates and documentation. The next day we go to Catholic Church and meet for Cannonical Interview with priest and ask for approval for Catholic Church Wedding. The priest approves and then agrees to be the one to marry us. Was busy time but we get everything prepared so we can marry in July. Sixth time we met was July 16- Aug 4. I arrive in Manila July 18, then fly to Butuan where I meet Cyril and we take the bus to San Franscisco. Was very exciting because everyone was preparing for wedding at that time.
