Upcoming Greek Wedding not legal!

Hi,

We are getting married in Kefalonia September this year and from what my planner has told us, only town hall or church weddings are official in Greece. If you’re having your ceremony on the beach, hotel, villa etc it’s a blessing only and not legally binding.

We’ve opted for blessing only ceremony as I didn’t want to worry about the document translation, plus town halls in Greece are not the prettiest. We are not telling our guests it’s blessing only and I doubt that they will know otherwise. Our planner has sent us a copy of the wedding vows and also said we could do our own if we want to. We also going to sign ceremony certificate - so all in all, blessing ceremony won’t look any different to the official one.

We’ll be having small ceremony back in the UK for just two of us (plus witnesses). Just do what feels right for you.

Hope this helps and congratulations on upcoming wedding!

It sounds like a stressful situation, and I understand your concern. While I can't speak to specific changes in Greek law, I would suggest checking the details of your case through official records to verify your wedding's legal standing. For those in Florida, you can search for relevant Arrest cases Florida for any legal matters or concerns you may have. It's always a good idea to confirm things like this with authorities to avoid any misunderstandings down the line.

It sounds like an incredibly stressful situation, and I hope you get clarity soon.
