Hi all,

We invite all the ones who got married in the European Union or who are about to get married in the European Union to participate in this thread :)

What are the formalities to get married in the European Union? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple (between a foreigner and a native of the European Union)?

Are the procedures complicated?

How long does it take to carry out all the formalities?

Thank you in advance for participating,

Armand

European Union isn't a country, it's more-less loose political union between countries. There is no one, common law. Each country has it's own legal system - there are different legislations about marriage in different countries.
