Pangur Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 You could get married quietly in the Marie to fufil the civil parts and ask your CoE vicar to conduct a blessing ceremony wherever you decide to have the reception. I had a civil then a church marriage - none of the guests at the church bit knew we'd been legally married a few days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourangelle Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 You don't say if you are living full time in France. If youare not, if I were you, I would get married in the UK at a registryoffice and then have the religious ceremony or whatever you would like in France. Getting married in France requires lots of paper work, I gave up,myself, I just couldn't be bothered it was just soooo much easier doingit in the UK. You can't do it the other way around here(religious marriage and then legal marriage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le martin-pêcheur Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi,We are not far from you- Champagnac-La-Riviere. We got married in the village last year. It was very straightforward. We enquired at the Mairie and they gave us a booklet with all of the required paperwork that we had to get. A few cheques here and there and a bit of work on the "net"and we went back with all the various papers and Voila we picked a date with our Maire who was very flexible " Quand vous voulez"We had the civil ceremony at the Mairie which I believe is the law.Afterwards we went back to our house, with the horns blaring of course, and had a superb day.We wish you all the best for your forthcoming marriage. Hope this info helps,Best regards, Tony and Sue www.flyfishinginfrance.comIf you need any documents translating please see our French property and life link, off the main page. You will find a direct e-mail link to the lady that we used in Limoges. Very quick too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
