Filipinos consider marriage as a very important part of family life. It is, after all, the start of a new family. Filipino culture about marriage that dates way back even before the Spanish era, are still being practiced by modern Filipino families today.
Before any plans for marriage start, dating is a necessary step in choosing your partner.

The man picks up his date and they go out together. Once the date ends, the man is also expected to take the woman back to her place to make sure she gets home safe.
Once both the man and woman decide to marry, traditional and modern marriage in the Philippines starts with the man asking the woman’s family for her hand. This phase is called Pamamanhikan or Pamalae in other dialects. The man, together with his family, visits the woman and her family in their home. During this meeting, the man and his family ask for the blessings of the woman’s parents for the marriage. When the woman’s family approves, the wedding plans will then be discussed including the date, venue, and expenses.

Marriage is a very festive event in the Philippines and wedding guests can number at least 150 members of the family, relatives, and close friends.
After the wedding, food is then served to the guests. In Filipino culture, the famous lechon baboy is always present during such feasts. A lechon baboy is basically a whole pig roasted on a spit over hot charcoal.
