Plenty of factors come into play when getting married in Italy. The following are some of the most important things to consider:
Documents - The documents you need when wedding in Italy are:
Valid passport Certified/original copy of your birth certificate Documentation/evidence of the termination of previous marriage (s) if applicable. Documents such as death certificate of former spouse, annulment decree, or final divorce decree are also required.
Avoid applying for the certificates and documents more than 6 months before your wedding. They can expire under Italian protocols. All your original documents also have to go with Italian translations done by an agency that has been certified by the Italian Consulate.
Civil vs. religious - If it is the latter, a priest can conduct your ceremony and then register your union with the civil authorities. The Catholic Church demands confirmation and baptismal certificates together with letters of freedom. In Florence, civil marriages take place at the ‘Red Room’ or ‘Sala Rosa’, which is normally decorated beautifully in red. A translator - Hiring a translator is also essential since you and even some of your guests may need someone to translate during the ceremony. Vendors – It is imperative that you do extensive vendor research. You need people such as your wedding planners, music providers and flower vendors among others. The importance of shopping around is that you are in a better position to find vendors who give you value for your money in terms of services.
When considering getting married in Italy, it is essential that you do your homework. The above guidelines can be of great help during the planning process.
