Getting Married in Abu Dhabi

by caleb February 5, 2014 November 13, 2019

Abu Dhabi offers many exciting options to tie the knot. The city boasts a range of professionals to help prospective brides and grooms and their families to plan and execute outstanding weddings. All the elements necessary for a traditional wedding with a huge guest list or a quiet elegant affair for a few people is conveniently at hand. Brides to be in the Emirate can select the items they need for their wedding from the latest wedding wear to jewellery, specially designed fragrances, stylists and spas to give the bride and her friends a complete makeover, from wedding fairs that are popular events here.

In addition specialty shops will help brides to make their wedding day unique. Abu Dhabi city hotels and resorts offer excellent bespoke wedding packages to make a special day memorable. These include outdoor or indoor venues, catering, pre-wedding spa treatments, bridal suites and romantic honeymoon packages. However for non Muslim resident expatriates getting married in the Emirate is a notoriously convoluted affair. It is advisable that resident expatriates seriously contemplating getting married in Abu Dhabi be thoroughly acquainted with the regulations governing marriage. The best way to circumvent red tape and to have the wedding of your dreams is to plan everything carefully before hand and allow time for procedures and documentation.

Once a couple decides to ‘plight their troth’ many consult wedding planners who give advice on venues, help select a theme, decide on a budget, design invitations, place cards, thank you notes, assist to set up a wedding website, assist with dressing the bride and her friends and ensure that everything goes according to schedule. All marriages in Abu Dhabi are solemnized in a religious place or a venue with a wedding license. There are no civil ceremonies. Nationals and Muslims tie the knot in the Sharia court. Christians and Catholics can get married in church but one or both partners must show evidence of having being baptized. The marriageable age in Abu Dhabi is over 18 years for both bride and groom. Witnesses have to be nationals or hold Abu Dhabi resident permits. Some nationalities may be required to translate personal documents into English and Arabic. Once married the marriage certificate is submitted to the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Foreign Affairs for attestation and in the case of expats submitted to the respective embassy for legalization in the home country. Undergoing medical examinations for genetic disorders and communicable diseases is part of the pre wedding requirements for everyone.

Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, a magnificent oasis in the middle of the Liwa Desert, the largest sand mass in the world, is amongst the popular luxury hotels Abu Dhabi where many go to have the quintessential desert experience. Guests at one of fabulous Abu Dhabi hotels can choose to view wildlife, participate in a range of outdoor activities, enjoy relaxing spa treatments and onsite leisure facilities and taste the gourmet cuisine presented at its restaurants.

Beach Wedding Attire

by Caliope Sage January 9, 2014 November 13, 2019

With magnificent islands bordered by pristine white beaches, turquoise waters teeming with exotic marine life and golden sunshine throughout the year, it is no surprise that the Maldives has been awarded the title of ‘World’s leading island destination’ for a third time. An archipelago of almost 1,200 idyllic coral islands, it provides the ideal location for a dream vacation.

Apart from thousands of sun-worshippers, diving and water sports enthusiasts and families who arrive here looking to enjoy that holiday of a lifetime, the Maldives also attracts a special category of visitors – those who fly in for a destination wedding. With secluded islands, glorious sunsets, and warm and friendly locals, the Maldives as a location for a beach wedding is hard to beat. The fact that only Muslim ceremonies are legally recognized in the Maldives is no deterrent, judging by the increasing number of couples opting to seal their love in a romantic beach ceremony here or even go in for a more atypical exchange of nuptials under water.

Some beach weddings are preceded by an official ceremony back home while a renewal of vows is celebrated on a Maldivian beach. From romantic settings overlooking the Indian Ocean with vows exchanged under a flower-adorned tent surrounded by family and friends, fresh seafood barbecues to champagne breakfasts the morning after, every feature will be taken care of.

Beach wedding attire is another important aspect of a beach wedding and couples have the option of sporting local garb – a sarong for the groom and coloured dress for the bride. Others may prefer more traditional Western attire with a white wedding gown for the bride and suit for the groom. However, as the weather will be warm, light weight and comfortable clothes are recommended while high heels are not.

A growing number of Maldives Resorts are gearing up to offer all-inclusive wedding packages to meet the growing demand of this unique category of guests. Various Maldives spa resorts have special spa packages for bridal couples to indulge and relax both body and soul. The Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is a luxurious resort nestled on a breathtaking coral island. While offering the highest standards of comfort this hotel also adheres to Green Globe policies.
