Description
Twelve months goes by faster than you think, and a Filipino wedding has its own list: reserving the church, choosing your ninong and ninang, the prenup shoot, PSA papers, PMOC, the marriage license, the canonical interview and the banns. This checklist puts it all in order.
Type your wedding date on the Dashboard. The Checklist already holds 120 tasks grouped into phases (12+ months, 9, 6, 4, 3, 2 and 1 month, 2 weeks, the week of, the day before and after the wedding), each due a set number of days before your date. Change your date and every due date moves with it. Give each task an owner (Bride, Groom, Both, Family or Coordinator), a status and a done date, and add your own in the spare rows.
The Dashboard counts down the days to go and shows your overall progress, progress for each phase, a chart, and your next 10 open tasks, earliest first. Gentle flags mark tasks that are overdue or due this week. Started planning late? Type your planning start date and tasks that were due before then are marked "Catch up" instead.
The Legal & Church Papers tab lists the papers and steps couples commonly need: PSA birth certificates and CENOMAR, pre-marriage orientation and counseling (PMOC), the marriage license application and 10-day posting, and church requirements such as baptismal and confirmation certificates "for marriage purposes", Pre-Cana, the canonical interview and the banns. Enter when each paper was issued and it shows whether it will still be good when it's needed. It also suggests a common-practice window to apply for your license, checks that the license (valid 120 days) covers your wedding date, and notes whether parental consent or advice applies based on your ages.
You type only in the white cells. Due dates, flags and totals are worked out for you, and those cells are locked so a formula isn't erased by accident.
Requirements vary by city or municipality and by parish, so confirm yours with your LGU civil registrar and parish.

FAQ
Is this a physical product? No. It's a digital download.
Which app do I need? Microsoft Excel. The file is a standard .xlsx with no macros. Other apps may open it, but dropdowns, colours, the chart or sheet protection may look or behave differently.
Is it only for church weddings? No. The tasks cover civil and church weddings. Church-only tasks and papers can be marked "Not needed" so they don't count against your progress.
Are the legal requirements and lead times exact? They're common practice, with Family Code references where they apply. Requirements vary by LGU and parish, so confirm with your LGU civil registrar and parish. It's a planning aid, not legal advice.
Our wedding is less than 12 months away. Can we still use it? Yes. Type your planning start date and tasks that were due before you started are marked "Catch up".
Can I add my own tasks? Yes. There are 40 spare rows on the Checklist and 12 on the papers tab.
Does it send reminders? No. It shows what's overdue and due this week each time you open it.
