Getting married in South Africa and moving to Belgium

Post new topic

Luna Fae

hello all :)
I am from South Africa, boyfriend is of Belgian nationality , so after all of our long tiring plane trips back and forth between the two countries we have decided to get married in south Africa  and start a life and family in Belgium. As we sit and try to find out all the information on the laws for marriage in SA (and laws for Belgium) then me moving to Belgium with my 3 cats, and getting my belongings shipped over has gotten our heads spinning. Any help with advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
