What are the procedures for getting married?

1. Marriage registration

When a marriageable man and woman decide to get married, they need to register their marriage before holding a wedding. This is not only your own protection, but also respect for your marriage.

Marriage registration is our country’s system for supervising and managing the establishment of marriage relationships. It requires every man and woman who want to get married to apply for a marriage certificate in accordance with the procedures. There are four general procedures: applying for a certificate, taking wedding photos, verifying documents, and registering marriage.

The physical examination is voluntary. You can go directly to the registration authority to register without a physical examination. As early as 2003, my country changed the pre-marital health examination from mandatory to voluntary, so now registration of marriage does not require a physical examination. However, if you want to ensure "prenatal and postnatal care", it is best to have a pre-marital physical examination, which will also provide sufficient protection for future childcare.

In short, if marriageable men and women consider getting married, they must abide by laws and regulations, register their marriage first, and then prepare for the wedding.

2. Wedding preparation

Wedding preparation is not that cumbersome. It only requires the families of both parties to discuss more specific wedding preparation matters, which can be divided into software and hardware.

1. Wedding software preparation. Before the wedding, the parents of both parties and the newlyweds must decide on the wedding date, location, ceremony and wedding banquet method. This process should try to balance the opinions of both parties and respect the wishes of the newlyweds. At the same time, the newlyweds also need to discuss the wedding plan and determine the best man, The selection of bridesmaids and wedding personnel.

2. Wedding hardware preparation. Wedding room decoration and wedding day preparations. For example: local popular wedding customs, wedding photo arrangements, wedding makeup appointments, wedding vehicle appointments, wedding banquet appointments, wedding photography appointments, etc. (Note: If you find it too troublesome, you can also ask professional wedding personnel to plan)

When both parties are ready for all matters, they can invite relatives and friends to attend the wedding according to actual needs. The main purpose is to send wedding invitations and communicate by phone. Secondary, try your best to notify everyone who needs to be notified, and make detailed feedback records (in case someone cannot come, so as to save wedding resources).

You may think that weddings are complicated and grand ceremonies, but we often waste manpower and financial resources in actually holding weddings, which does not have much impact on the solemnity of the marriage itself.

A wedding is not about how grand and extravagant it is, but about the joy of sublimating the sincere emotions of the couple.
