EVENTS

A religious wedding continues a tradition stretching back through centuries and provides a significance that cannot be measured. Of course this can mean there are specific rules and perhaps a more traditional ceremony but, on the other hand, it adds a significant dimension to your celebration.

They say that in Greece there’s always a church close by and indeed this statement is 100% true. There are a huge number of churches of all denominations on the island of Crete, some are famous and some are truly hidden gems. Some are surrounded by mountains and Mediterranean pines, and some provide a fantastic view of the sea from high up. There are also many old Cretan monasteries often placed in the most beautiful surroundings, many of which are happy to perform the wedding sacraments. To choose the best you must know them all, and that’s where a local wedding planner with great experience can be indispensable.

Then there are all the arrangements – booking the dates, ensuring all the legal papers are properly filed, booking the right priest, completing the marriage documents, and ensuring they are correctly certified and translated into Greek. 

It is during this stage that the help of an experienced wedding planner can be vital, especially if one or both of the partners are not Greek citizens.

What is a Vow exchange ceremony? It is a ritual where two people declare their love to each other and exchange vows to spend the rest of their lives together.  It is similar to a wedding and can include many of the wedding traditions, but it does not result in a legally binding marriage.

This is an ideal option for couples who want a magical ‘wedding’ ceremony in Crete without having to go through all the paperwork. If they wish, they can bind the marriage legally in their country of origin before or after the Cretan ceremony.

Another option is the renewal of wedding vows which is becoming more popular. Many couples want to renew their wedding vows to celebrate a milestone anniversary or simply to remind each other of their commitment to each other and say “I do” over and over again. Sometimes a couple couldn’t afford a big wedding when they were younger and want to have this fabulous experience.

So, even if you haven’t thought about this before, you might want to consider this idea if you’re planning to visit Crete.

The Vow exchange ceremony is the most flexible type of ceremony as there are no limits or rules. It suits also same sex couples looking to design their own ceremony in totally their own style, including the traditions you like and excluding the ones you don’t. Or you can even invent your own. It can be as meaningful as a wedding and certainly benefits from an experienced wedding planner to ensure the ceremony is unique and meaningful.
