DESTINATION
WEDDINGS From celebrity couples to those with Irish roots, when it comes to weddings, location is everything, and when it comes to location, Ireland has it all.
It’s not called the Emerald Isle for nothing. Ireland is a haven of tranquillity from pristine Atlantic coast beaches, serene lakes and streams, natural parks, green pastures, mountain ranges, and dramatic cliffs. What’s more, couples can choose to recite their vows at any number of unique locations. Ireland has less strict requirements for legal weddings than other countries, allowing non-residents and non-Irish nationals to legally marry. Non-Irish couples only need to submit some documents and appear
before the Registrar’s office days before the wedding as part of the requirement for a legally binding ceremony. For such a special day, many couples want a unique location as well as the opportunity to vacation with family and friends, and when it comes to fairy-tale settings, they don’t get much better than Ireland. Since Ireland is a relatively small country, vast open spaces and endless castles with large swathes of land fit the bill perfectly.
