    Hello and welcome!

    Getting married can be a joyous occasion, but all the paperwork of marrying abroad can take some of the fun out of it. We would like to invite people who have been married in Spain to share their advice.

    What do you wish you had known? What is the procedure to get married in Spain ? How much does it cost? Do you need a special visa, permit, or documentation? How far in advance do you need to plan? How expensive is it?

    Is the process the same for locals as it is for expats? What about a mixed partnership (between a foreigner and a native)? Do you need to send documentation back to your country?

    What customs should you expect? Is there a certain style of dress you need to wear? What about for guests? What kind of gift-giving is expected?

    Also share your questions if you are preparing to marry abroad or your experiences if you have attended a wedding in Spain .

    Congratulations to all of our engaged couples or recently married and thanks for sharing your stories. :D

    Shame there was no response to this as there seem to be more and more people coming here to the Canaries to get married. Romantic it may be, but I do wonder how many marriages are later found to be invalid in the home country or the wedding simply turns out to be impossible on the day, for lack of correct paperwork - after all, I generally have to go to Trafico, Hacienda etc at least twice to get anything sorted :(.

    Does nobody have any first-hand experience to share?
