British nationals legal requirements to get married in Italy 1.

The process for British nationals documents required to get married in Italy has changed. There are nine different scenario's which change the way in which documents are processed. Please find below scenario one for when  both parties are British nationals and both are resident in the United Kingdom.

Something BLUE... Yes please!

NINE WESTMercade Sandals £155,00

We all know the expression 

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue"

The blue tends to be a ribbon on a garter or a date stitched in to the dress but I say have fun and enter in to this good luck charm with your best foot forward! 

Vintage Brides

The past couple of weeks we have been preparing for one of life's eventualities, the passing of my 92 year old grandmother. Whilst the loss of a mother and grandmother is not without grief, the  joy of looking back on her life and through all her photos has been fascinating! Trying to work out who all the beautiful young people are in the photo's taken in her youth, but what I found much more exciting is all the wedding photographs! There’s just something about vintage wedding pictures that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. (Unfortunately I could not take any of the photos with me to scan them but I may try when I am back for the funeral next week!) 

British nationals getting married in Italy

As some of you may know the procedure for obtaining the Nulla Osta is changing and as of the the 1st March the new process for your documents shall take effect. Although we have been asked that you to follow the new procedures from 1 March, please note that British Consular offices in Italy will continue to accept applications for marriage Nulla Ostas up until 31 May 2013.  So we have some time to adjust. We shall be posting the new procedures on our website very soon, hopefully with a link to the bilingual affidavit that each British national will have to make in front of a British lawyer or notary.  At present we understand that the Catholic Nulla Osta procedure has not changed but we are investigating this further and shall keep you posted.
