I discovered recently that Gibraltar is becoming a popular wedding destination.
There is no requirement to be a resident and you simply need to turn up at the registry office to present your documents - just 24 hours before you want to get married.
For those who want to escape to get married, yet want an internationally recognised marriage certificate, in a destination that speaks English, Gibraltar could well be a good choice.
Once you are married you can simply walk across the border into Spain for your honeymoon!

Hello,
I work as a documentary producer for an independent production company based in the UK. We are currently making a series for Discovery - and I need your help!
We are looking for stories about people (Brits, Australians - anyone English-speaking) who have moved to Spain for a new dream life abroad eg with a new job, a new relationship, or setting up a business), but events did not go quite as planned, and in fact turned dramatically, nightmarishly wrong. The scenarios can be about anything really – human rights issues, extraditions, a miscarriage of justice, being accused and arrested for something they didn't do, being conned, robbed, kidnapped etc., or even surviving a health scare or a natural disaster. Essentially, we are looking for ‘cautionary tales’ and ‘survivors’ stories.’ Stories don’t need to be recent – and the documentaries are 1 hour in length each and involve a talking-head interview and dramatic re-enactments.
If there is any way you can help me - then I would be so grateful if you would let me know - my e-mail is nhuggett@cineflix.com
Thank you very much,
Nicky
Every now and again I pat myself on the back for having relaxed so much since coming to Spain. No longer do I get a nervous twitch when having to wait 20 minutes at the bank while they discuss their life history instead of getting on with their transactions; if someone turns up late then I only start to get slighty irritated after they are more than an hour late as I would be shocked if they turned up on time.
But every now and again.....
I signed up for a Cuenta Nomina with ING, who in the interests of security will only send the documents by courier to delivered directly into your grubby little hands. And they chose UPS - a global, established company to make the delivery.
The first day I missed the delivery but that´s ok - I didn´t know it was coming. So I duly call them to rearrange a time and they ask me when I will be available. 9-5 I tell them being generous I think giving them an 8 hour window to deliver.
At 4pm I call to make sure they are coming as I had to leave at 5pm to collect the children. ´He will be there by 6pm´ was the reply. So I calmly explain that I have to leave at 5pm and I explained that when I had arranged the delivery. ´Delivery times are 9-6pm, if you can´t wait go home and we will deliver tomorrow´. Feeling my blood starting to boil I explain that I have already wasted a day waiting and do not plan to do it again tomorrow, so he grudgingly says he can get the warehouse at Sevilla to call me - but it will take at least 60 minutes so I might as well just wait. Grrr.
60 minutes later - no delivery, no phonecall. So I check their website to find that there was apparently no-one at the address and the package could not be delivered. By now I have been waiting in the office for 10 HOURS, the kids are with me complaining how hungry and bored they are - and quite rightly so.
So I go into Spanish mode and phone them to tell them how incompetent they are and that tomorrow I want the driver to call me if he can´t find the office. Oh God forbid. That is not possible they tell me as he does not have a phone in the truck and couldn´t possibly call clients.
All thought of giving them any leeway has now been blown right out of the water and is not helped when they tell me I am not allowed to talk to the warehouse in Sevilla to find out why the cretin did not deliver.
So I can´t talk to the delivery driver, he can´t call me and I can´t call the distribution centre to help them use the map book to find the only block of shops in a small urbanisation?
Mix centralisation with Andalucian lack of urgency and you have UPS - Utterly Pitiful Service.
My advice? If you want to use a courier service choose a more local one like MRW who you know will want to get all their deliveries out of the way before 2pm so they can have their long lunch or siesta!
Moving to Spain can be a little lonely at first if you arrive with no friends and family. It takes time to make new acquaintances in any new place, and finding a little romance can be even harder!
