Wedding Celebration Ceremonies are the easiest way to have a wedding ceremony in Portugal. You can have the legal marriage in your home country or country of residence and come to Portugal to have a wedding celebration ceremony.
Wedding celebration ceremonies can be held outdoors or indoors. There are no special requirements or restrictions for wedding celebration ceremonies. A celebrant will hold the ceremony.
You may choose a wedding celebration ceremony for personal beliefs and not get legally married at all. You may also choose this option for your wedding celebration after getting married legally in your home country. The wedding ceremony gives you the option to celebrate your wedding to your likes.
You can integrate anything you wish, such as a handwritten wedding certificate that will be signed at the end of the ceremony. You can decide on what will be said during the service, have it conducted in your own language instead of using a translator or have a bilingual ceremony done by one person, who speaks both languages.
If you have the civil ceremony beforehand it can be explained to the registrar that you will be having a wedding celebration ceremony and that you would like a minimalistic service for the legal section. All that is required to be spoken in a legal ceremony is the registrar asking ‘Are you ______________(Full Name) free lawfully to marry ____________(Full Name)?’ You respond with ‘I am’ You will then be asked to each repeat the following after the registrar. ‘I _______________(Full Name) take you ___________(Full Name) to be my wedded wife / husband’.
