As you all know me and the other half are getting married in Cuba in April. However, does any know if we need to do anything here before we get married over there? Just a bit scared that we'll get back and it won't be legal! Any advice is welcome as I really am stuck on this one, is it worth taking a trip to the local CAB just to double check? Thank you in advance X

Some people are daunted by the thought of organizing a wedding abroad, but it doesn't have to be so difficult. Here are 5 of the most important things to get right for the perfect wedding in Cuba.
What you need
First, the boring part - paperwork. It may be the last thing you want to think about, but if you miss out a crucial document your day could be ruined! For a wedding in Cuba, the bride and groom both need to have:
- Copies of passports and birth certificates - Details of their education, home address, employment and the full names of both parents
If the bride or groom is divorced or widowed, they need to have their Certificate of Divorce or their original Marriage Certificate and former spouse's Death Certificate. These need to be translated by the Cuban Consul, and the original copies taken to Cuba when you go to get married. Copies of these documents need to be faxed to your hotel three weeks before your arrival in Cuba.
Also, be sure to note that you need to be in Cuba for at least 72 hours before the ceremony begins, so use that as an excuse to arrive early and relax on the beach for a few days before your wedding in Cuba.
