Great Destination Weddings 2020 Annual Vol. 9 No. 9 | Page 35

MAKING IT LEGAL

If your destination wedding is located in Australia, one of the benefits for Aussies is that there is much less paperwork! Just complete a Notice of Intended Marriage form at least one month before the wedding and submit it to your celebrant. If you have less than one month until your wedding, have a chat to your celebrant, as a prescribed authority may be granted under particular circumstances.

Check out the Attorney-General’s Department website for further details on wedding legalities. Head to ag.gov.au/NFamiliesAndMarriage/Marriage/Pages/Getting-married.aspx

For the most up-to-date legal requirements, always check with your country of origin and destination wedding country.
