Getting married in another country, what do you think about the idea?

In my culture, it will be difficult. Although I want to (or in the past dream of it), it might be impossible. Unless I am rich enough. In our culture, the marriage need parents or people that can serve as their behalf which must be legal. And furthermore, our big familie must attend the event. If not, they will consider us like a traitor. The other disadvantages is the legality (in government administration point of view). We need to contact our embassy first to make it legal.. But, that is good idea to spend honeymoon in other country..

My spouse and I were married in a foreign country to be practical. We just happen to meet while we were both living overseas and would be more costly if we were to get married elsewhere. It was quite a simple wedding attended by close friends we have locally as well as our moms and a couple sisters who traveled from overseas.

No i would not want to. Maybe honey moon it is a good idea to travel abroad but to be married not in my own country I think it's not. I was thinking about the two German couple. I don't know about the law in marriage in Germany if there is divorce there or not. Or maybe one is already married and they flew to your country to married again with the other. Only my thoughts.

If I have the means to, why not. I guess the advantage of getting married in another country is that it would be something more special, especially if it's the first time for you to be both in that country. You could always call that place your special place. It's romantic too, like if you get married somewhere exotic and paradise-like. My idea of getting married in another country though, would be somewhere Eden-like. With a beach, and nature stuff. The disadvantage to this is that not everyone you want to invite might be able to attend the wedding. It would be pretty hard for the guests to go.

For me, I wouldn't choose getting married in another country not unless my husband is from another country. Because having my family and friends during the ceremony is important to me and to my culture. And if I dont get married in my own country it would be difficult for them to go to the wedding, not unless I pay all their fare. lol. Thats never gonna happen.

Money can buy everything but it cannot give you the warmth ,peace & love which one gets when all are near & dear ones are around you.I would always prefer to get married in my own home town as there are so man memories associated with each place & many small things which we don't notice in our daily life but only the day when we are moving to a new phase we realize. So it depends on your emotional attachment with differs from each person..but my personal vote goes to my own town...cheers!

No no I would never get married in another country, even if I was rich. I would get married in my own home town so all my friends aunts, uncles could come.

Well I can see where couples may want to get married in another country but in my point of view it is just way too expensive. I would not want to get married in another country unless the person to whom I am marrying is from another country. Then I may get married in that country as well as in my own country another smaller wedding so that both sides of the families and all involved can witness it.

Hi Porcospino now that I am married, I think this doesnt apply to me but still, I can give you some inputs based on some recent news I read on the newspapers. A few months back, an Irish couple visited some Holy Place here in India and decided to get married. and they did. Unfortunately, their custom of kissing the bride after marriage landed them with the Cops and court cases followed. Going by such incidents, I do think that getting married in a completely strange place is out of question for me. You need to know the customs, the traditions and many other things before making such a decision and worst of all - if there happens to be any kind of problem, you are all alone in a strange place. definitely not something that anyone would want to start a new life with... But that said, I do know that there are some really great places in the world which do not have any such inhibitions of traditions, customs etc and are more open. So they might be a little better option.

Hi, Porcospino, I've never had this idea but now I think that it would be fantastic... But only if we talk about a wealthy family. Then they could organise a trip for a group of family and friends. It would be good to chose a place with a landmark. It's not easy to gather a lot of people for more than one day but if it's possible to do it this wedding would be unforgettable for the young couple and all the others.

Hello friend, It is a very good idea. I like it very much. I try to do it. Today I consult with my lover about the matter. Have a nice day.

wow.,sounds exciting and wonderful. It is really good but i think you take much money for that..but its your choice,,,You can earn money but you can not buy experience.

The following are a few questions to ask urself before you go to any further in considering marrying someone from another culture?. Are you willing for your children to not really know ur parents?. Are you willing for ur family members to not be able communicate well with ur children?. Are you willing to take the time to explain why something is funny to u? Are you ready to just accept the fact that u wont be able to share each others homer? Are you willing to let go of some of your traditions and celebrations? Are you willing for ur children to grow up with a different set of family traditions than ur own? Are you willing to live in ur spouses home country indefinitely
