Despite all the advantages of living in the United Arab Emirates and the undoubtedly exciting experience that you will have after living there for a while, being in this country has its disadvantages.
To a greater extent, this applies to tourists and expats who do not belong to the Islamic religion. After all, when you grow up in a society with less strict laws and a different religion is very difficult to put up with strange in your opinion and infringing laws.
Marriage in the Emirates is the only legal form of relationship between a man and a woman who are not related. That is, in order to feel protected in Muslim society, to have the right to live together and to have a child, you must be married.
Intimate relations outside of marriage or pregnancy can well threaten you, at least, with deportation from the country.
Despite the amazing fact that almost 90% of the UAE population are immigrants, they are also subject to most local laws. Therefore, if a Filipino and an American want to have a fulfilling relationship in Dubai, they still need to get married.
In order to get a marriage license, you need to prepare a certain amount of documents. And they will not be few, so you need to have patience.

For more information about Filipino-American weddings in Dubai, you should contact your local government or your country's embassy.
Among other things, you can disregard all the formalities that the Emirati law forces you to and get married in another country. For example, Georgia.
For a wedding in Georgia, you don't need to collect so many documents and wait a lot of time for the permit. All you have to do is translate your passport at a notary's office into Georgian and fly to Georgia. Getting a marriage license is fairly straightforward in one day.
Another requirement for Filipinos and Americans to get married in Georgia is to have two witnesses. But if you do not have them, no problem, the wedding agency "Shu Wedding" will provide them to you.
Come to Georgia, get married and enjoy the stunning views of the country!
