"HOMELAND RULES
Planning to get married
overseas? Contact the nearest
embassy, high commission
or consulate of the country
where the wedding will occur
to brush up on which legal
requirements are essential
for your marriage.
Most countries will ask you
to present a Certificate of No
Impediment to Marriage, which
confirms you’re not already
married or living in a prohibited
relationship. You can download
the form from the Department
of Foreign Affairs and Trade
website (dfat.gov.au), and
pay a one-off fee. Bon voyage!HOWTOBREAKTHE
NEWS IN THE NICEST
WAY POSSIBLE...
Send an announcement by
mail – like a wedding invite,
but it’s already taken place.
Send postcards from your
wedding destination. Keep it
short and sweet for impact.
Be sure to phone friends and
relatives before you post an
announcement card. Or send
a text saying, ‘What did you do
today? ’Cos we got married!’
Snapchat a photo of the
ceremony. Or wrap it with
a bow and gift a photo of your
wedding day to your family.
Create a Facebook event
titled ‘We got married!’
or change your relationship
status to ‘married’.
Host an intimate dinner party
with friends and family to tell
them the news face-to-face.
