Marrying abroad? Check the paperwork and stay out of the sun!
Kerrie and David Beddows married at Yeroskipou, Paphos in Cyprus, October 5, 2005.
Kerrie’s top tips are:
- Check the legal and residential requirements of the country you want to marry in and find out what paperwork you need.
- Give details of the wedding to your guests well in advance so they can make the necessary arrangements.
- Purchase adequate wedding insurance.
- Booking a wedding planner direct or through your tour operator can save time and money, and take away the pressure of organising everything yourself.
- Buy bridal wear which doesn't crease easily.
- A roll of 'Fragile' tape will come in handy to stick on suitcases containing bridal wear, tiaras etc.
Don't overdo the sunbathing. Think of the wedding photos!
