If you’re in love and want to show the world you mean it, where better to get married than cyprus?  As the birthplace of Aphrodite - the mythical goddess of love - cyprus is the perfect wedding destination.

cyprus has got everything to make your wedding unique and unforgettable. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, the weather for your wedding day is certainly something you do not need to worry about. Sunshine, picturesque scenery of lush vegetation, and the beauty of the island as a whole make for a setting that will create lifetime memories of getting married in cyprus.

After you have chosen cyprus as your final wedding destination along with deciding on your location, there are some essential arrangements to follow.

To reach the island quickly and directly the easiest and best way is to fly to either Larnaca or Paphos International Airports. You can travel with leading airlines such as British Airways, cyprus Airways, Monarch, Olympic Airways, Emirates and Aeroflot – depending of course on your point of origin. When you arrive, why not continue in style with our own hire Car to a luxury villa where you can relax and prepare for the big day?

If you are visiting the island as a ‘foreigner’ for the purposes of getting married, it’s reassuring to know that all wedding ceremonies in cyprus are conducted in English. Since cyprus Law is based on the English system so are the wedding certificates. It is possible to get married in any of the districts of cyprus. As you might expect, there is some bureaucracy to contend with.

As a first step, the couple to be married have to complete, sign and submit a joint application called “Notice of marriage” indicating that they wish to marry each other.
This application of marriage is made to the marriage Officer at the local Town Hall and you will need the following original legal documents: valid passports, birth Certificates for both the Bride and Groom, Affidavit or Certificate signed by a notary public indicating your marital status i.e. divorced, widowed or single and that you are free to marry. This document must be dated, signed and stamped. These legal documents are only recognised as valid for 6 months, so it’s obviously wise to ensure that the wedding takes place within this deadline! For Scottish residents a certificate of No Impediment is acceptable, this being available from your local registrar in Scotland.

A Death Certificate is required for the deceased spouse in the case of a widow or widower getting married; a Decree Absolute (in case of divorce); Adoption Certificate (in case of being adopted); Deed Poll certificate (in case of a change of name); if under the age of 18 a letter of consent from parents or guardian which must be stamped by a lawyer. 

This schedule of paperwork applies for British passport holders. All other nationalities need to contact and check their government agencies for details of required paperwork and all the official documents must be translated into English, certified, stamped and signed by a notary or a lawyer. The couples have to be aware of paperwork that varies for each region and type of wedding. Couples from abroad wishing for Anglican or Roman Catholic weddings will require further documentation and permissions. A certificate of Thalassaemia, produced by a state or private doctor, is required for Cypriots only. The couple must arrive in cyprus at least 5 working days before the set date for the wedding as the original papers must be presented to the Town Hall.

Once all the paperwork has been sorted out, all that’s left is to enjoy the day and soak up the experience of being married in a place unlike any other on earth! What’s more, you can roll the Honeymoon into the same trip – explore the island, the beaches, the Troodos Mountains or just relax and soak up the sun around the pool to your private villa…
