However, the only place that does not require lots of stupid paperwork or time spent there is Sri Lamka. If possible could you translate for me the requiremnts for marriege in Sri Lanka:
The following legal requirements and formalities apply to all marriages in Sri Lanka.
Lawful days of marriage ceremonies
Wedding ceremonies in Sri Lanka are conducted Monday to Sunday plus Public Holidays.
Minimum legal age to marry in Sri Lanka
The couple to be married must be 18 years of age and over on the day of performance of the ceremony of marriage. The minimum age is 18, as in most western countries.
Required documents for the wedding
Documentation for wedding and marriage ceremony must be sent to the hotel at least 4 weeks prior to the wedding day and includes:
Photocopy of birth certificate – original to be presented prior to the wedding day
Photocopy of valid passport – original to be presented prior to the wedding day
Details of the names, addresses and occupations of the couple to be married
Details of parents’ names, occupations and addresses of the wedding couple
An affidavit confirming marital status of bride and groom prior to the wedding
If either party to the marriage is divorced, a Decree Absolute proving the lawful termination of the previous marriage must be presented prior to the wedding ceremony
If widowed, Death Certificate of former spouse of the previous marriage
If names have been changed prior to the wedding, legal proof of change of name
Marriage certificate in English
The Registrar of Marriages will provide an official marriage certificate in the local Singhalese language with a certified duplicate copy in the English language.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
