With destination weddings growing more popular, we have put together some details on the essentials that you need to get married abroad. 

Firstly, we are looking at the formalities of what paperwork is needed. Different countries have alternative requirements, so it’s worth doing some research on specific destinations. But the common conditions are as follows: 

  • Valid 10-year passport with at least six months remaining on it
  • Full birth certificates
  • Deed poll proof of any name change
  • Decree absolute, if married
  • Marriage and death certificates of a deceased spouse, if widowed
  • Adoption certificate, if adopted 

All the above need to be original documents and not copied. In addition, you can use the handy GOV tool to find out what is required in different locations: Here

According to TUI, The most popular destinations for tieing the knot abroad are Italy, Iceland, Cyprus, Lanzarote, and LA. On average, the cost of weddings in the UK has been released at 30k. However, an abroad wedding costs around £7,500.00 on average.

Therefore getting married abroad works out a lot cheaper! However, some more popular areas, such as Venice and Florence, have the tourist price tag alongside! Alternative hidden towns can keep the cost down and have stunning outlooks.

Planning Your Abroad Wedding

There’s a lot to consider for any wedding. However, some details need more planning, such as “How do I pack my wedding dress in a suitcase?” If you are tying the knot in a hot destination, it may be better to go for a lightweight dress. It’s worth speaking to your dress designer for any hints and tips. But also the airline – as options, such as travelling with the dress in a hanging cover, may be available.

In addition, it’s also worth noting visiting your destination location at least a couple of times before the wedding is highly recommended. Getting familiar with the local area and test running food, hair and makeup.

Help! My Wedding Ring is too tight 

Clients have contacted us in the past after getting married in a hot country to say the ring is too tight. However, this is to be expected as our fingers expand with heat; therefore the rings may feel uncomfortable. As we don’t experience the same temperatures in the UK as often seen abroad, it may be a case that the ring is a perfect fit. Moreover, this is why we recommend getting your wedding rings arranged as early as possible, as any sizing adjustments can be arranged in advance of travelling abroad.

Robert Pattinson Teases The Batman Surprises At DC FanDome

We’ve known for a while that we’ll be seeing new footage from The Batman for the first time since Matt Reeves dropped a surprise trailer last year at the upcoming DC FanDome event, but it sounds as though we’ll be getting much more than that, according to star Robert Pattinson.

There are less than six months to go until the Dark Knight’s latest reboot comes to theaters in March 2022, and having suffered a tortured production due to the effects of the pandemic that generated all sorts of unconfirmed and uncorroborated rumors spouting tales of behind the scenes discontent, the promotional campaign is set to click into first gear.

Halloween Producer Addresses Possible Freddy Or Jason Crossovers

Unless the property in question has already been established as a shared universe where everything is connected, the inter-franchise crossover can often have an air of desperation surrounding it. On many occasions, it feels like the studio throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the mix, hoping that combining at least two iconic characters in the same movie will yield increased box office returns to keep the brand alive just that little bit longer.

2003’s Freddy vs. Jason was a great example of this, after it marked the first big screen appearance of the titular icons for a decade in a modern-day setting, discounting the futuristic Jason X. It wound up earning $116 million at the box office on a $30 million budget, which at the time was the most money either A Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th had ever seen, proving that these mashups are almost always profitable.

Meryl Streep Rumored To Be In Talks For Marvel Role

When it comes to naming the greatest actresses of all-time, not just the modern era, Meryl Streep is never too far away from the forefront of the conversation. The living legend has won three Academy Awards from a mind-boggling 21 nominations, while her trophy cabinet also includes two BAFTAs, nine Golden Globes, three Emmys and much more.

Even at 72 years of age, any new project Streep attaches herself to gains a new level of awareness based on her involvement alone, and next up is star-studded Netflix comedy Don’t Look Up alongside fellow A-listers Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Chris Evans and Cate Blanchett, to name just a small few.

James Gunn Hypes Peacemaker Coming To HBO Max In 3 Months

The Suicide Squad still hasn’t managed to recoup its $185 million budget at the box office, but that hasn’t stopped James Gunn from continuing to talk up his future with Warner Bros. and DC Films. Obviously, the writer and director is back at Marvel for the time being as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 gears up to head into production, but HBO Max spinoff series Peacemaker is only three months away.

The second outing for Task Force X may have flopped in theaters, but it’s performed admirably on HBO Max, and both Gunn and the studio appear open to working together again in the future. Once Vol. 3 ends his association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s no reason why we won’t be hearing constant rumors revolving around a third Suicide Squad.
