HOW DO HAVE AN EASY WEDDING?

Having a wedding is exciting and yet a modern-day challenge for many expat couples especially those living in the GCC countries. 2.5 million weddings will be celebrated in 2022 and yet it could be challenging to have an easy wedding. This is mostly true for couples with different cultural and religious backgrounds, such as the ex-pat ones living in countries with growing economies like GCC.

We’ll have a look at what couples should expect to plan a marriage in these countries and which other options they could evaluate for an easy wedding.

WHY IT’S NOT SO EASY TO GET MARRIED IN GCC COUNTRIES

Marriage is seen as an accomplishment, but getting married in GCC countries could not be so easy. This is mainly because marriage could require a very long process. Expat couples need to consider that it will generally take from 2 to 3 weeks to get out certificates requested. Among the other things and depending on the countries, they will need to present:

• birth certificates
• if needed, divorce papers
• resident permit 
• passport

So, a wedding in GCC countries could not be the easiest option for those who have very strict time available like crew members.

WHICH ARE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE AN EASY WEDDING?

Although GCC countries are a beautiful place to set up a new family, ex-pat couples may evaluate easier solutions to tie the knot in Seychelles, Georgia, or even online. Georgia and Seychelles require less bureaucratic activities and provide ex-pats couples with the Marriage License in only a few days. The license is acceptable all over the world, including in all GCC countries. And last but not least GCC ex-pat couples should consider that they can reach Seychelles and Georgia very easily.

Moreover, never heard about an easy wedding online? A couple needs to do is only present a few required documents and follow very easy rules. It could be the best easy wedding solution for those who have very strict time available, for those who cannot travel, or need to sponsor their partner to come live with them, or have families living abroad but want them to witness the wedding.
