How does getting Married in France Work?

Whether it will be just the two of you, or you are bringing a host of family and friends, getting married with a symbolic or religious ceremony in France will mark the beginning of your journey in unique and memorable way. By selecting special readings, crafting traditional, modern or originally written vows, exchanging rings, and forming the ceremony together, Rev. Wahila will help you design a ceremony that is a reflection of who you are together. With the aide of Rev. Wahila you will fashion together a ceremony that you will treasure for your lifetime together.

Wedding blessing ceremonies are only performed in France once a couple is legally married. Weddings performed by Rev. Wahila have significant spiritual significance but no legal status. Before officiating your symbolic ceremony, you must provide Rev. Wahila with a copy of your legal marriage certificate.
