Fiji Wedding Destinations

Destination weddings are a growing trend all over the world. More and more couples in love are deciding to pledge their lifelong commitment to each other in a location that reflects the beauty and rarity of their enduring love. Fiji weddings are growing in popularity, as more and more people discover the beauty of this island paradise.

While this is a beautiful way to publicly and formally recognize your commitment to one another, many couples have questions about the legality of tying the knot in a foreign country. Fortunately, by taking a few precautions and bringing along a few documents, you can make sure that your Fiji wedding is legally recognized in your home country.

For Fiji weddings to be recognized by the home countries of the couple in question, the local registrar will require the birth certificates of both parties. If either party has been divorced in the last five years, then papers documenting the divorce will be required. If either party was previously widowed, then a death certificate for the deceased spouse will be required. A Fiji wedding also requires that two witnesses over the age of twenty-one be present in order for the wedding to be recognized as legally binding.

There are some extenuating circumstances that could potentially complicate Fiji weddings. If either party is a citizen or legal resident of Fiji, then that party will also need to procure a Certificate of Single Status to show that there is no legal impediment to the marriage. People from Asian countries such as China, Korea, Pakistan, India, or the Philippines must also produce a police clearance along with the aforementioned documents, which must also be translated into English, and must apply for the marriage license no later than one month in advance of the wedding.

But once you’ve rounded up all of the required documents, then you can focus on the most important part of the wedding: the ceremony itself. Many hotels and resorts on the islands of Fiji offer romantic wedding packages. They’re pretty moderately priced, and some resorts will even throw in the wedding for free as long as you stay for a minimum number of nights at the resort. You can get married with a Fijian warrior guard at your side, dressed in traditional Fijian wedding garb. Fiji weddings are a unique, beautiful, and perfectly legal way to celebrate your love. And it also makes for a beautiful built-in honeymoon.
