About The ber months in the Philippines
In the Philippines the ber months, September to December, are the festive season, and a wedding often fits into them, with relatives from abroad home for Christmas. The church wedding includes the entourage of principal sponsors, the veil and cord ceremony and the coins, the arras. Filipinos also avoid weddings in Holy Week and, by old belief, in some other times, so couples plan around Lent. Many prefer the dry season of the first months of the year as well.
