DeekayEss Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 My partner and I have been together for many years, and bought a house in France almost three years ago. I have just had my 50th birthday, and he is a couple of years behind me, and we think the time is right to get married. When we were over at Christmas we went to the mayor's New Year do, and I started to ask him about the possibility of getting married in his village. He seemed pleasantly surprised, but not altogther sure what documentation etc we would need. He is going to ask for advice, and then when we go over again in February I am going to go and see him, and get more information from him. It then occurred to me that people who read this site may already have gone doewn this route. So, long pre-amble to a very short question, anyone got any advice or information about what we need to get married in France? We are both British nationals.

Berlioz Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 We are planning to get married in October. Here are a some links from my 'wedding' file.http://brittany.angloinfo.com/information/2/marriage.asphttp://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1064572954547http://www.consulfrance-londres.org/article.php3?id_article=316We have got our file from the mayors office, they were very helpfull and marked what we would need, and made a point of saying that the certs could not be more than 6 months old. I have had to park my plans for the moment due to other circumstances. We had been planning to move in the summer and get married in October.Good luck,D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourangelle Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 You have to cut and paste the link. The marriage would be perfectly legal in the UK, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeekayEss Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 When you say the certs cannot be more than 6 months old, is that our original certs or the translation of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soleil Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yes the marriage is legal and recognised as such in UK and the certified birth certificate must be no more than 6 months old.Sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
