Are you deciding to get married to your best friend but you do not want to spend a fortune on your wedding? Let’s admit, weddings can be hectic, difficult and exhausting. Yes there are really enjoyable, memorable and fun parts also, but mostly the whole experience to the young couple can be quite intense. You may not want to invite hundreds of people, or you may not have a humongous family and friends. Maybe you want to go on a dreamy honeymoon that you have been saving for years. Whatever your reasons, couples have the option to choose a legals only marriage service over large celebratory affairs, religious or cultural rituals if they wish to keep their magical day simple and intimate.

The Concept Of Legals Only Marriages

No, it is not a new concept. Getting married legally has been introduced and conducted in our society since, forever. The marriage act which is governed by the Parliament of Australia protects the rights of those seeking to get married legally. The legal marriage process doesn’t require a priest or any cultural ceremony. Instead, you need a marriage registrar aka a authorised marriage celebrant and two witnesses. Once you are done with the paperwork you are declared married. Yes, it is this easy and hassle free. A very important part of legal marriage is that it protects your rights and it has supported same sex marriage since the 2017 amendment. You can also apply to the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages for an official marriage certificate as a proof of your marriage to enable your to change your name on your ID documents.
