Common Destination Wedding Questions

Where do I start?

Start by thinking about the type of ceremony you'd like. If you're looking for something different from the “norm,” then consider finding a wedding provider in an unusual country, or one that offers ceremonies in unusual locations (underwater, bungee jumping, etc). Also consider the time of year when you wish to marry. Many tropical countries have hurricane or wet seasons, so make sure you know what the weather will be like before you travel (and buy your dress).

Can I get married in ANY country?

No. Some countries have residency restrictions which mean that you can't get legally married there, although you can always have a blessing in any country and legally marry at home (you don't have to tell anyone!).

For example, in France you have to be resident for at least 40 days, and in Spain resident for at least 2 years before you can legally marry.
