After getting married in Hong Kong in 2017 and completing all the formalities (apostille for the marriage certificate, Philippines Report of Marriage, registration at the registry office in Munich, etc.), we wanted to celebrate a big wedding with friends on Boracay in 2018. Unfortunately, the authorities decided to close Boracay for 6 months in 2018 to enforce environmental rules, so we couldn't celebrate our beach wedding until May 2019.
