Filipino and Irish/British getting married

10 years ago

What is the easiest way for us to get married?
Hi, I am a Filipina working in Abu Dhabi, UAE and I met my online boyfriend in the Philippines for two weeks, he holds an Irish and a British passport and he resides in Northern Ireland. He went there on my vacation this year 2014, and we have been together for real life for thirteen days. We have been talking for more than a year and now close for two years,. We are planning to get married first in a civil wedding, so our option is can we get married here in the UAE first? then after he will go back to his place and we will process our papers for me to stay there in his place. What are the other options so that we can be together again, is it easy also to get married in his place? We are also planning to have a church wedding in the Philippines once we have enough time and money. Is it easy for me to find a job also in the UK/Nor. Ireland? I don't want to be a burden for him since he is also young like me. He's 28 and I am 24, and we are not both financially stable but we are helping each other to find ways and to make things work out so we can be together again
