British
Columbia, Canada
provides
the ideal settings and the unique destinations necessary to accommodate
small and large weddings. The province of BC, Canada resorts and
retreats provide the contacts for planning a wedding and the many
picturesque wilderness settings ideal for any outdoor and indoor
ceremony.
BC weddings
are held at resorts and retreats situated on sandy beaches, up
on mountain peaks and resting on river banks and lakes. Some wedding
accommodations are surrounded by flower gardens while others provide
privacy and are hidden in the forest.
Our travel
planning website provides the information to get started in your
wedding planning bliss. There are, just under, 200 BC communities
online with full lists of accommodations, halls, restaurants,
photographers, wedding planners, caterers, parks,
flower gardens, etc. Online is an extensive database with contact
information necessary to plan a large wedding celebration or a
small intimate personal gathering with friends and family.
All the contact information for each
business providing wedding facilities is posted under the
community sections listed on each regional website linked
to BCeh.com.
Links connecting to each regional website is posted to your
right.
So, pick a region. Then pick a community. Then start researching
your wedding. |
Married
couples have the freedom in British Columbia to decide how they
would prefer to be wed... for example some may decide on a traditional
religious wedding in a church conducted by a religious figurehead
of their preferred denomination or some prefer a civil wedding
conducted by a marriage commissionaire who has been accredited
by the province of BC, Canada.
To be
married in British Columbia, you do not have to be a resident
but are required to get a marriage licence which is valid to be
used only in British Columbia. The age of consent to be married
in BC is 19 years old. If one or both of the people in the wedding
party have been recently divorced outside the last 31 days then
documentation must be provided showing 31 days have past since
the divorce papers were issued by the courts.
When
applying for a licence to be married in British Columbia either
the bride or the groom need to apply for the licence producing
identification for both of the individuals who are planning to
marry and host a wedding. The paperwork required when applying
would include identification showing your full names (including
given names), birth date and place, marital status and current
address. The marriage licence is issued at that time of applying
and is valid for 3 months.
The BC
wedding ceremony can be presided over by a religious individual
or by a marriage commissioner who must have been appointed by
the Vital Statistics Agency Chief Executive Officer. Within 48
hours of the ceremony a Marriage Registration Form must be sent
to the Vital Statistic Agency.
Congratulations
to you both on finding true love! |
