Marrying abroad is becoming increasingly popular. It may offer an alternative romantic, in which the couple, by themselves or with a small number of close family or friends, traveling to exotic locations to marry and stay in relation to honey. Family and friends left at home may feel excluded by the choice of a foreign marriage and therefore this is a good idea to have some kind of ceremony the couple in return. Małżeństw in foreign countries are considered in the UK, if they are not inconsistent with law qualifications in the UK. If there are any doubts about the legal basis for marriage advice should be sought from the Home Office before any travel arrangements. It is advisable to consult a doctor at least three months before departure to find out which vaccinations and other medical resources, such as malaria tablets, are necessary.

Legal Requirements

It is important to know the legal requirements (for example, there is a minimum period of stay in the country) and which documents are required before making any journey. This can be done to the embassy or consulate, or the tour operator if a reservation with one of the specialized companies that organize weddings abroad.

Most countries require birth certificates and passports and evidence of a single character (for example, divorce papers or death certificate of former spouse for people entering second marriages). The majority of countries also have minimum requirements before allowing a couple to stay married. This is usually one to seven days. Some countries have special requirements. In some countries in America, for example, a blood test should be taken before the wedding can go ahead. In Bali couples must belong to one of the five religions recognized by the government.

Wedding Outfits

The selection of appropriate clothing for the wedding abroad is an important consideration. Factors to consider include the degree of formality, which wanted the couple want and the local climate.

For practical reasons for the dress must be easy to pack and resist creasing when crushed. Fabrics that contain Lycra maintain their shape and will require less and ironing when unpacked.

For the wedding in a hot climate, such as beach Wedding in Seychelles, natural materials such as cotton, linen and lace recommended. Silk fabrics are also acceptable, but pure silk is likely to be uncomfortably warm.

Short dresses are much more acceptable in hot, informal atmosphere of a wedding abroad. If you choose a long dress must be lightweight fabric. Closely fitted styles of veneers are best avoided because they cause overheating. The train can be cumbersome and especially inappropriate for the wedding on the beach. A removable train could be the answer if bulkata is the heart of it is on it. This can be removed when it is likely to get dirty or wet. Halter-necks, spaghetti straps and off at the shoulder styles are particularly suitable for hot climates.

In the groom should wear light or linen suit, for example, in one color, light. Although many marry for grooms morning in suits or tuxedos they can lead to overheating if worn out middle of the day or for a long time.

Customs -THE WEDDING CAKE

Cakes have been associated with weddings throughout history. The Romans shared a cake during the wedding ceremony itself. This is not the rich fruit cake we enjoy today. This is a simple confection made from wheat flour, salt and water. The Fijians and some tribes of Native Americans still incorporate into the wedding cake.

In the UK in early cakes were flat and round and contained fruit and nuts symbolizing fertility.

An amendment to this custom was to crumble on the cake brides head and in some versions to break the cake over the bride's head. In Scotland Oat Cakes were used for this purpose. This was done to promote fertility.



In Yorkshire a plate holding wedding cake was thrown through the window as the bride returned to their parental home after the wedding. If the plate broke her enjoy a happy future with her husband, but if the board was kept intact its future would be bleak.

Another old English custom was to put a ring on the wedding cake. Customers who found the ring in his piece of the cake will ensure happiness for the coming year.

The modern form of three-tiered cake was iced cree which has been inspired by the needle of St. Bride's Church in the city of London. It is said that guests that a single piece of wedding cake under his pillow before sleeping increase is no prospect of finding a partner and bridesmaids who do the same who dream of her future husband.

The upper tier of the cake is often kept in pairs for the christening of their first child.
