Don't you have to have a wedding when you get married?

Traveling to get married doesn't have to be a wedding.

It is a couple's personal choice to get married without a banquet. Although traditional wedding banquets are popular, modern concepts are more open, and not holding wedding banquets does not affect the legitimacy of marriage. Legally speaking, as long as both husband and wife apply for and complete marriage registration at the marriage registration office and get a marriage certificate, it is a legal relationship between husband and wife and is protected by law. On the contrary, if there is only a wedding without marriage registration, then no matter how grand the wedding is, it does not constitute a marriage in the legal sense. Therefore, whether to get married during the tour depends on whether to go through the marriage registration procedures.

The process of tourism marriage:

1, determine the wishes of both parties: ensure that both parties agree on the form of tourism marriage;

2. Choosing a destination: according to the preferences and budgets of both parties, choose a suitable tourist wedding destination;

3. Handling documents: preparing passports, visas and other documents needed to go abroad;

4. Understand the local laws: study the marriage law of the destination country to ensure that the marriage is valid;

5. Booking service: booking air tickets, hotels, wedding venues and related services;

6. Prepare wedding supplies: prepare wedding supplies such as wedding dresses, suits and rings as needed;

7. Hold a wedding: hold a wedding at a tourist destination;

8. Apply for a marriage certificate: apply for a marriage certificate locally and ensure its legal effect at home and abroad.

To sum up, although traditional wedding banquets are popular, the recognition of marriage forms in modern society is more open. Choosing not to hold a banquet does not affect the legal effect of marriage. The key is whether the marriage registration has been handled according to law and the marriage certificate has been obtained. This is the decisive factor to establish the legal relationship between husband and wife and get legal protection, not the form or scale of the wedding.
