Professional Wedding Planning Abroad - Spain - Portugal - UK

There are advantages and disadvantages to marrying abroad which you should consider before making your final decision.

The advantages are:

• You can marry in an exotic location.
• The weather will be perfect, but check the weather forecast just to be on the safe side.
• You can start your honeymoon straight after your wedding ceremony.
• In a great deal of overseas destinations you will get more value for money.

The disadvantages are:

• You may have fewer guests as they may not be able to get the time off work to join you on your wedding day (although some couples would count this as an advantage!).
• You may want a church wedding, but the ceremony may not be legally recognised in the UK, so you might have to have compromise and have a civil ceremony followed by a blessing.
• You need to ensure you have all the required documentation before you get married abroad, this will vary depending on the country.
• There may be a minimum residency stay. However with good planning, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages!
