WEDDING CEREMONIES
Legal Civil weddings, including same sex marriages, are available in Spain, but recent changes in the qualifying criteria have made legal marriages in most areas very difficult and expensive if you are not a Spanish resident. If you qualify we can however incorporate your local Town Hall legal wedding wiht ours. As long as the corect paperwork is processed, and a Council official agrees to come to the wedding to sign the papers at the end.

It is less expensive and much easier to have the legal marriage papers completed in your own country and come to Spain for your 'Symbolic Wedding.'
The ceremony may be small with just the couple and two witnesses, or may be a large event for hundreds. It can be exactly as you want - such as romantic & emotional. You can either write your own vows, or choose from the list sent to you. Friends & family can contribute with readings & poems. You can be assisted with your musical choices too.
CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY
This is a lovely way of signifying the joining of two families as one and is often incorporated into a Wedding Ceremony. It is especially poignant where there are children from previous relationships, as it symbolises them now being one family, and they enjoy being involved in this special day.
Candle lighting may also be used to signify a couple joining as one unit, or to remember those who could not be there on the day.
OTHER ADDITIONS TO A CEREMONY
There are many ideas you may add -such as hand fasting, sand mixing, future box presentation, ring warming and many more. Please ask for ideas.
