WHY SAY "I DO" IN ITALY?
For many couples, getting married in Ireland is not an option and so choose to go abroad. For some couples having a small
intimate family celebration without any fuss is preferred, for others, family and close friends in a casual setting is the
preferred choice. So if your budget can't quite stretch to the Castle on the Hill, there is no reason why you can't have a
Wedding Day that you and your Partner will always remember for all the right reasons, along with your Guests. Of course there is always the lure of the constant
sunshine and blue skies and the laid back culture, whilst they can combine their wedding and honeymoon in the same
area, their guests also have the opportunity of sharing with them their special day and having their own holiday
also.
Saying "I do" in Italy could not be easier. With my service you and
your partner will be looked after from once you arrive, until (if required) to your departure, taken to your
Hotel/Apartment, after which you just sit back and relax (no language problems either) and leave all the hard work to my
Italian co-workers. Worried about paperwork,? well don't be, you will be guided very easily through all that is necessary
to make your Wedding legal and binding.
Paperwork
There is no residency demands on couples who wish to get married in Italy, but it is advisable to be in the country the
week of the wedding to finalise all details. All of your paperwork will have been done and posted on prior to your travel.
The one stipulation being that a bride must be free 300 days from her decree divorce before she can remarry, for some
reason the groom does not!
Religions and Venues
Regardless of whether you are in a practising faith or just a want a symbolic ceremony on a beach, your choice of venue is
that, totally yours.
Language
It is a ruling in Italy that there must be an interpreter at each Wedding (regardless of whether you speak Italian). All of
my co-workers in Italy speak English.
Budget
The most obvious and frequent question asked, what will it cost. I advise each couple to seriously look at what
they can afford to spend,taking into consideration flights and accommodation. Whilst getting married abroad is a
fantastic option there are some extra charges locally. For example the paper work, the Church (if it is a
Religious Ceremony)the interpreter and registration, in Italy the charges vary from region to region. My
colleagues can organize your Wedding around what you can afford.
Value and Climate:
As with any venue at home or abroad, the time of year you choose will have a bearing on the cost, do remember
also that in August most Italians take their holidays, it is also one of the hottest months of the year.
For your Wedding Reception, you have so many choices, from 3 star to 5 star venues. Wherever you choose for your
venue or whatever your budget, Judy at "I do" along with her colleagues based in Italy can create
your very special day to remember. (*best when getting married abroad to get married in the late afternoon to enjoy a romantic reception filled
with hundreds of candles and t-lights plus the weather is more bearable!!!) by the pool if you wish!!
Getting Married in Italy (Rules)
A Civil Ceremony is only permitted to take place at the local Town Hall (Italy) and is usually performed by the Vice Mayor
or his assitant. It is adviseable to be in the locality at least 3 days prior to your Wedding to prepare the final details
of all documentation.
Getting Married in a Catholic Church requires the same documentation as Ireland, except you must have proof of being a
single person. This can be had from a Solicitor. In Italy, it is customary to have an interpretor (even if you speak
Italian.)
