Title: Peru: Two types of weddings?
Post by: grant5432 on January 13, 2005, 05:00:00 AM
Hello.
   My novia and I decided to get married in Peru then do a
spousal Visa (rather than do a Fiance Visa), since she wanted
her friends and family to be at the wedding.

  She was trying to tell me how they have 2 different kinds of
weddings in Peru, and she wanted to do "both".  I'm not sure
what she meant by there being two different types of wedding
services.  Does anyone know what she might have been
referring to?   Thanks!

In some countries, it is customary to have a civil wedding before a judge, then have the church wedding. Maybe that is what she meant.

When I married in the Philippines, we had a civil ceremony on Thursday and then the church wedding on Saturday. Why? Because that's the way they said to do it. I don't know...

If you do both, submit the civil marriage certificate with all of your immigration paperwork and use that date for the date of marriage.

okay, thanks.
    I guess that's what she meant... a civil and a church wedding.

I'm assuming she meant the civil and church ceremonies.

I and my wife went for the civil marriage, and plan on marrying again--this time in a church--soon after she arrives in the States.
