Ok.
The following are just my notes... =P
As you said, marriage solemnized pursuant to said license will still be valid because:
- here (http://pinaydhabroad.blogspot.com/2011/06/marriage-void-ab-initio-and-voidable.html) it says an irregularity in the formal requisites shall not affect the validity of the marriage
- and the marriage license is a formal requisite (http://pinaydhabroad.blogspot.com/2011/06/formal-requisite-of-marriage.html)
Thanks! =)
