Congratulations — you have found each other and are planning to marry! An international wedding needs some extra planning, but it can be a wonderful celebration of two cultures.

Start with the paperwork

Requirements for marriage between citizens of different countries vary. Check early with the registry office where you plan to marry and with the immigration authority of the country where you will live. Documents often need translations and official certification.

Choose the country

Some couples marry in her country, some in his, some in a third country. Think about where your families can travel and where the legal process is easiest.

Two families, two cultures

Combine traditions from both sides — for example, the Ukrainian rushnyk and korovai together with your own customs.

Plan for guests and language

Arrange translation for guests if needed, and help family members with travel.

Keep the focus on you two

Paperwork can be stressful. Remember why you are doing it — and enjoy the journey together.
