Wedding Abroad Tips by www.weddingguideuk.com

Marrying Abroad

Marrying abroad can bypass the headaches of invitation lists, booking venues, flowers, transport and so on. Either a tour company will take care of plans with a wedding package or you organise your own day on a much smaller scale than a traditional wedding at home.

Wedding packages are available in many hotels with some offering a free ceremony if you stay a certain number of nights, others charge up to £1000 or more. The service is nearly always civil although religious ceremonies and blessings can be arranged in most destinations. Most hotels have an area specially set aside for conducting wedding ceremonies but there are some wonderful alternatives including the beach, exchange vows underwater or on skis in the Alps. Packages tend to include just your basic requirements: the service, marriage licence, certificate and legal fees but these differ from hotel to hotel. If you want extras such as a video, photographs, flowers or cake then expect to pay more. Remember that any extras will generally be of a fairly basic nature compared to what you might expect if marrying at home. Always check in the brochure or with your tour operator for details.

You are bound to disappoint some members of your family and friends who cannot be with you on the day, especially grandparents who may feel unable to undertake such a trip. To appease any objections you could arrange to have a blessing service or reception when you return, but at the very least have a video made of the day so that you can share your special moments with those unable to be with you.>>>

Religious ceremony in Sorrento
In Italy a Catholic ceremony can only be performed in a Church and can only be celebrated when both bride and groom are Catholic. If one of the parties is of a different religion, a Catholic wedding is still possible as long as you attend the required pre-marital classes and have the paperwork approved by the religious authorities in Italy. In the case of one of the parties being divorced, the Catholic Church will not allow you to remarry in church. You must have an annulment recognized by the Catholic Authorities.
The following documents are required for a Catholic wedding:
- Declaration from your Pastoral Advisor that both bride and groom are active in the Catholic Church and seriously intend having a religious blessing.
- Certificate of Baptism
- Certificate of First Comunion
- Certificate of Confirmation

All the above documents must be sent to the Bishop in the city of residence to obtain the ‘Religious Non Objection Declaration’. Once these have been returned to you, they must be forwarded, together with all the documents listed for the civil ceremony to the local Bishop’s See in Italy to obtain the Italian ‘Religious Nulla Osta’.
We require a month as the absolute minimum to give the priest and archbishop in Italy time to review the paperwork.
