Civil marriage - looking for advice and for officiant

My husband and I  got married at San Francisco, CA City Hall in 2002. We were both Americans (he, natural born; me, naturalized but hadn't applied for dual citizenship until 2008). At the urging of my religious parents, we had a church wedding in 2003 in  the Philippines. (A Church wedding in America was just too expensive.)

When we moved to the Philippines in 2008, I tried to get a certified copy of our marriage license from the NSO (National Statistics Office.) But there wasn't any marriage recorded. Someone mentioned that perhaps it was because my husband and I were both American citizens, and that we had to go through a certain process, including going to the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) and complete some paperwork to make our Philippine marriage official (i.e., registered at NSO). I guess the staff / administrators at the Church either forgot to do that or didn't know how to go about it.

I really haven't bothered to do the legwork / paperwork to have our marriage here official, if that is at all possible. We have an official marriage license anyways from the US. That's good enough for us.

Ask around what you need to do if you want your marriage official. You might need to do more than just getting a license at Makati City Hall, which is probably why a Makati judge won't officiate the ceremony.

I can  help u...ur married can be done here in mla. Civil married done by a reverent.1 witness will do
