How easy/difficult is it to tie the knot in a foreign country?
It can be very easy (in Las Vegas you just need ID), or very difficult (in France you have to live there for 40 days before you can legally marry),

Where can you find information on the legalities for marrying abroad?just make sure you read the legalities before you commit to getting married somewhere.

www.MarryAbroad.co.uk provides marriage legalities for each country so you’ll know what you have to do to get married there. And if you want to marry in a country which we don’t feature then email us on request@marryabroad.co.uk and we’ll see if we can help.

The Foreign and Commonweath Office also provides excellent information on getting married abroad www.fco.gov.uk

How do you make sure that the marriage is legal in the UK too?
Just remember that generally if the marriage is legal in the country in which you get married then it is legal in the UK.

One extra tip for you – if you have a wedding abroad in a non-English speaking country then you will have to get your wedding certificate translated when you get home in order to use it.
