Marbella Weddings
If you plan to stage a wedding in Marbella, Spain, the first thing that you and your partner need to decide on is the nature of the ceremony.
Which Type of Marbella Wedding Meets Your Needs?
One option is to get married in a Catholic ceremony. Once you've decided on a chapel, English-speaking priests are available who can oversee the nuptials. Paperwork is involved, and this must begin with your parish priest. If your partner isn't Catholic, note that you will need to request a dispensation from your parish priest. After the wedding, the marriage papers must be taken to the local Spanish Civil Registry to make the ceremony legally binding.
Couples may also choose to get married in Marbella civil ceremonies. Same-sex couples will be glad to note that in Spain, it is possible for those in same-sex unions to stage civil weddings that are legally binding.
Under Spanish law, foreigners are allowed to marry in Spain. Still, outside Madrid, many of the country's autonomous communities require that at least one member of the couple be a Spanish citizen or resident. For this reason, many foreigners seeking to tie the knot in the Marbella area choose to hold their nuptials in Gibraltar, an island located just off the Spanish coast. Gibraltar has less stringent rules and regulations when it comes to civil ceremonies.
