Previously, marriage registration took place at the registry office at the place of residence of the bride or groom. But a few decades ago, young people were allowed to independently decide on the location of the wedding. You can choose a registry office in which one of the most important events of your life together will take place according to several parameters.
Instructions
Step 1
You can choose a registry office on a territorial basis. Many couples still consider the registry office to be the most convenient, which does not need to be reached for several hours in a city stuck in traffic jams. Some people choose the location for the wedding so that it is located near the cafe, where the wedding banquet will take place after the end of the official part of the event. This saves on transportation costs.
Step 2
Someone tries to choose the most beautiful registry office, going around all the registry offices of the city for this. Usually, the staff of the institution does not interfere with future newlyweds and, with persistent requests, show the place of the wedding from the inside.
Step 3
If you have already decided on the date of the celebration, then the choice of the registry office should be made taking this moment into account. Often there is a queue to register a marriage, so they will not be able to schedule you anywhere on the desired day. But this problem can be avoided by applying for marriage registration two months before the expected date.
Step 4
If you plan to invite many guests to the celebration, you should find out in advance which registry office agrees to accept their maximum number. In most cases, this is determined by the size of the hall. Call all the registry offices in your city and find out how many invitees are allowed in each of them.
Step 5
Some registry offices offer on-site marriage registration. Unfortunately, in most cases it can be officially carried out only in a medical institution where one of the spouses is staying due to a serious illness. In 2006, the city authorities allowed to register a marriage in some cultural institutions, for example, in the Ostankino estate-museum or in the Tsaritsyno museum-reserve. But if you are far from the capital or for some other reason cannot carry out the exit registration by an official way, you can contact the companies involved in organizing holidays, and a staged marriage registration will be carried out for you in the chosen place. But since this type of marriage has no legal force, you will have to first “quietly” sign in any of the registry offices.
