There\u2019s no doubt about it \u2014 getting married overseas is a huge undertaking. But with big effort comes big reward, and when you\u2019re holding hands with the love of your life in your dream destination, you\u2019ll know it was all worth it. But how do you get the point of \u2018I do\u2019 from a legal perspective?<\/p>\n\n
When planning a wedding abroad, it’s important to understand the legalities involved. Different countries have varying requirements, documentation, and waiting periods for marriage. We recommend checking out Smartraveller when you\u2019re researching your ideal locations. It provides specific and valuable information on overseas weddings, highlighting the need to research and comply with local laws and regulations.<\/p>\n
But to give you a better idea of what you\u2019ll need to do, let\u2019s break down the process for one of the most popular wedding destinations \u2014 the glorious island of Fiji<\/a>.<\/p>\n With its breathtaking beauty and warm hospitality, Fiji is a sought-after destination for couples looking to tie the knot. To ensure a smooth and legally recognised marriage ceremony, here’s what you need to do before you book your destination wedding in Fiji:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re working with a wedding coordinator in Fiji, they can help you with many of these steps, including finding you a local celebrant and helping you gather the appropriate paperwork.<\/p>\n\n You’re not alone if you\u2019d prefer to keep the paperwork simple and not bring all your original documents to Fiji. Many couples opt for a legal Australian ceremony at home before departing for their destination wedding.<\/p>\n This approach allows them to fulfil the legal requirements in their home country while still enjoying a symbolic and celebratory experience abroad. And it\u2019s totally up to you whether you want to tell your guests that you\u2019ve already signed off on forever together. Cute story: Harry and Meghan revealed that they did this three days before the big bash at St Pauls in front of their guest list of millions. In their case, it was a small moment of intimacy in an otherwise chaotic week.<\/p>\n For many couples, getting the legal stuff out of the way before heading overseas is one less thing to worry about or feel anxious over once they arrive at their destination.<\/p>\n\n<\/a><\/p>\n
