villages surrounding Siena, or the historic churches in the cobbled
medieval streets of Siena. Both Catholic and Protestant ceremonies
can be celebrated with an English or Italian speaking priest. |

Although
Italy is one of the few European countries that does not require
a specific period of residency before marriage for non-residents
there are still certain legal requirements for both civil and religious
ceremonies to be met. Legal procedures for both are quite different,
as a result we will not go into too much detail here however we
are more than happy to advise you on the various requirements as
soon as you decide which type of ceremony is right for you.
Contrary to popular belief it is
possible to marry in a catholic ceremony without having to perform
the civil ceremony first. Unfortunately the protestant wedding ceremony
is not recognised in Italy and therefore a civil service must be
conducted first. An English speaking Protestant priest can however
perform a religious ceremony for you once you are married civilly. |
