You Must:

• Be over 18 years of age

• Not already be married

• Not be related

• Both consenting and willing to enter into  the marriage 

• A one months’ notice must be given by signing The Notice of Intention to Marry form

During the ceremony, there are four things that must happen.

• I must introduce myself by name as an authorised celebrant,  

• I must recite the Monitum, 

• both parties must recite the legal Form of Vows as laid out in the Marriage Act, and

• the couple, two witnesses and I must sign three marriage certificates.

Outside that we can create your dream ceremony, as simple or elaborate as you want!

As long as you are no longer legally married and can supply evidence of the ending of that marriage - divorce certificate or death certificate of your previous partner, we can move forward. (see Question 04)

• Evidence of date and place of birth e.g. original birth certificate or birth extract, passport

• Photographic evidence of identity e.g. drivers licence, passport, proof of age card

• Evidence of the end of any previous marriage/s e.g. divorce certificate, death certificate

Ideally these original documents should be sighted at the time of lodging your NOIM with your celebrant.
