Hi Folks,
My Fiancé and I plan to wed at minimal expense - what is important to us is that we marry each other and would like it to be a Church (Catholic) wedding but would be open to Civil ceremony and separate Church ceremony. We would prefer to do it without people knowing and then throwing a party afterwards . ..
My questions are as follows:
1) If we give notice to the Irish Authorities to get married in Ireland, do we need to know dates and church/priest when we are giving the notice?
2) If we got married in say Spain, would we have to give the Irish Authorities notification in advance and tell them where/when the wedding is?
3) Do we need to give Spanish authorities advance notice too?
The reason for the uncertainty about dates with us is all we can afford is to wait for an excellent holiday deal to be our honeymoon and then plan the wedding around that - without anyone knowing!!!!!
All your help and suggestions would be much appreciated - I cant chat to friends/family about it as need to keep them in the dark!!!
MUCH APPRECIATED IN ADVANCE!!!!!
