Regardless of nationality, you
are more than welcome to be married in the most
beautiful country in the world, Australia. There is
no residency qualification required to marry here.
The only requirement is that you are free to marry
and you will be required to prove that when you
lodge the Notice of Intended Marriage (NIM).
The process can be completed via the net, thus
taking away a lot of the stress associated with
organising weddings from the other side of the
world.
Obviously, the marriage ceremony must comply with
the Marriage Act, 1961 as described in "Legal
Obligations". There is no apparent reason why your
marriage in Australia cannot be recognised within
your own country, however it is advisable to talk to
your own local authorities to confirm this before
making arrangements.
This is particularly important
if you are coming from some European countries as
they require your Marriage Certificate to have an Apostille stamp. For more information on
Apostille stamps visit

It is important to remember that there can only be
one legal marriage, any further ceremony has to be a
re-affirmation of vows ceremony.
I would be very pleased to assist you in arranging
your special day in a special country.
