For example, you will need to make sure that you have access to all necessary items such as a Mass book, rosary beads and candles for your ceremony. You will also need to research local customs regarding marriage ceremonies and ensure that any local laws are being followed.
You will also need to ensure that any priests or other officiants involved are both properly trained and certified by the Diocese where you plan on having your ceremony. Finally, it’s important to note that some locations may require additional paperwork or fees in order for your marriage to be legally recognized.
Conclusion:
A destination Catholic wedding is definitely possible and can be an incredibly beautiful experience. Just make sure that you do your research ahead of time and plan accordingly so that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
