MARRIAGE
FORMALITIES
IN SPAIN
Civil and
religious
(Roman
Catholic,
Protestant,
Jewish and
Muslim)
marriages
can be
celebrated
in Spain for
people over
18. While
Spanish law
appears to
permit
foreigners
to marry in
Spain, in
practice it
will usually
be necessary
for one of
the couple
to have been
legally
resident in
Spain for at
least two
years. An
application
for marriage
in Spain
will usually
involve
lengthy and
time-consuming
paperwork,
and
applicants
should
therefore
allow enough
time before
the intended
date of
marriage for
the
application
to be
processed.
There are no
facilities
for a
marriage at
a British
Consulate in
Spain. Where
couples are
unable to
marry in
Spain,
Gibraltar
may offer a
possible
alternative.
Information
is available
from:
Civil Status &
Registration
Office,
Marriage
Registry, 277
Main Street,
Gibraltar.

Marriage
customs in
Spain
Weddings
in Spain
are big
business
and taken
very
seriously.
We
interviewed
several
couples
who had
recently
been
married
and
discovered
the
following:
In
Andalucia
weddings
bear a
special
religious
meaning
and are
very
traditional,
especially
in the
Seville
area and
there are
many
unique
traditions.
It is
usual for
a couple
to be
engaged
beforehand
and this
is
symbolised
by the
giving of
a necklace
or a ring
to the
bride-to-be.
The
engagement
can last
several
years and
during
this time
the couple
will
purchase a
home.
Although
attitudes
are
changing,
it is not
normal for
the couple
to live
together.
At the
point of
engagement,
the man
will ask
his
girlfriend's
father for
permission
to marry
his
daughter.
He may
present
her father
with a
watch. |
| |
|
The
wedding is
likely to
be a very
large
event with
hundreds
of guests.
It is
likely to
cost a
huge
amount of
money,
with no
expense
spared. It
is unlucky
for the
bride to
see the
groom the
night
before the
wedding.
The bride
will
travel to
the church
with her
father who
gives her
away. A
traditional
white
dress may
be worn or
sometimes
a genuine
flamenco
dress. She
will have
several
flower
girls and
boys,
dressed to
match. The
ceremony
will last
anywhere
up to an
hour and
communion
is often
taken at
the same
time.
During the
ceremony,
rings will
be
exchanged,
often
identical.
These will
be worn on
the right
hand. |
| |
|
The bride
and groom
will often
exchange a
pouch of
13 gold
coins
during the
ceremony,
(pic
right).
This is a
symbol of
sharing
everything
with each
other.
Sometimes
these
coins will
have been
in the
family for
many, many
years.
Nowadays
though it
is common
to
purchase a
cheap set
of
imitation
gold
coins. The
bride will
also carry
a bouquet
which is
tossed
into the
air after
the
wedding.
The girl
that
catches it
is said to
be the
next to
marry. The
bride may
also have
a basket
of pins.
The pins
often
resemble
lilies or
orchids.
These pins
are given
to all the
ladies at
the
reception.
They will
wear them
upside
down
whilst
dancing.
If the pin
falls out,
the girl
will
marry. |
| |
|
After the
church
ceremony
the bride
and groom
may be
taken away
to have
their
photographs
taken.
From here
they will
go to the
reception
which will
be a party
of massive
proportions
and go on
all night.
A
honeymoon
is normal.
Spanish
culture
and
marriage
Although
the trend
is
changing,
it is
traditional
in Spain
for a
young
couple
intending
to marry,
to
purchase a
home
together
before the
wedding
but not to
live
together
until
after the
wedding.
the couple
may also
furnish
the home
and even
rent it
out until
after the
wedding.
This
rental
income
helps to
pay the
mortgage. |
