 Getting
Married is a step not taken lightly. There are rules, regulations
and the law. To ensure that all goes smoothly take advice.
Whether from your local registrar or minister of religion
there are many sources of information that will guide you
on this very special day.
In the 21st century how you marry is still
a legal contract but where and how you celebrate your day
is your choice. Remember in the United Kingdom and Ireland
marriage must be between members of the opposite sex and
both parties must be free to marry. You cannot marry if
you are already married. If either party has been married
before and the marriage has been dissolved a decree absolute
must be produced before the ceremony can go ahead.
For all relevant regulations the following
governmental websites will provide all the necessary information.
 There are four main types of wedding ceremony.
- A Religious Ceremony
- A Civil Ceremony at an approved
venue
- A Civil Ceremony at a register office
- An Overseas Wedding
A wedding ceremony on a tropical island
or a wedding chapel in Las Vegas are both very popular.
If you are to marry
in church, discuss this with a church official and they
will guide you, a civil ceremony must always be discussed
with the Registrar in the area you wish to marry. Overseas
regulations differ so be prepared to research your chosen
country and venue before you travel.
It
is important to get it right. The following links
