Wedding Forum - **Official Greek Wedding Thread...

I only know of one that was recommended to us, will post their link on your wall hun xx

bridetobe2013 i will put the link on your wall of who i am going through too, just to give you more ideas :)

Btw if you are not keen on the ribbon on the bouquet or buttonhole it can be removed. It is green floristry tape underneath which looks like green stem. xx

Can i ask when you all booked your wedding in Cyprus did you book this as a package or seperate?

Thank you HA_X3
I am not sure what to do, seen a private company for prices along with THomas cook

Hope you find a cheap deal like i did bridetobe2013, It depends what time of year you go though, so bear that in mind..
Our 2 week holiday for 2 of us is costing £965 in may, whereas if we booked july like we were originally going to it would of been sooooo much more expensive :(

Kisywisy:
Thank you for this reply, it has helped me out a lot, do you no of any hairdresses or makeup ladies local that your going to be using? I have been in touch with a company called my perfect cyprus wedding and they said they do the lot.
They can arrange it all for me but there will be a charge to have this done, she will come back to me in a few days with prices.
However if i can arrange it my self i would be interested.
Thank you xx

Ha_x3
who you going with hun? xx

just to add, using a planner may be a tiny bit more expensive, but it takes the hassle out of it. plus, they have the contacts and can get trade prices for most, if not all aspects of your wedding (apart from the registrar fees).

because we have a very limited budget, and not in a hotel, it's cheaper (and easier) for us to do it all ourselves.

i can recommend a cake maker!!!!

i'm having a 2 tier cake, with plain white icing, but the top tier sponge is pink madeira with strawberry jam, and the bottom is orange flavoured (and coloured) with orange curd. addin some sugar gerberas too.

it's the 'simply white' cake (which is the budget cake), but she is changing the sponge free of charge and adding the sugar gerberas at 6euros each.

i paid a £50 deposit and the rest to be paid 4 weeks before or when we get there (can't remember lol)

i'll pop the website and the fb page on your wall :)

Kisywisy:
Great thank you so much, i would be so greatful if you can.
If i just book my holiday with thomas cook can i plan and book it all my self?!
I will need help if you can help me please xx

Kisywisy:
Thank you for your help, im sorry now if i am driving any of you made with all the questions. The reason i am doing it abroad is that i dont have £12000 to get married in the UK so i am doing it abroad...
I have found my hotel i want to stay and get married in there grounds it the Dome Beach Hotel..
I also want the 3 course sit down meal, with fresh flowers, do i need to get in touch with the hotel to arrange all of this.

Any help i am very greatfully recieved ;-) xx

Taken me 3 hours to find hotels email address!!
Hoping to hear back from them soon so i no what i need to do next then ;-)

Hi Sarah,
Look forward to hearing all about your planning, where abouts in Cyprus are you looking at getting married? xx

Im looking for Nissi Bay x

After panicing franticly about money etc I have ammended our holiday to half board, so less worrying for us now :)

Im going to go with the wedding planner you suggested Heidi-after a few emails back and forth ive narrowed our venue/reception down to two possible hotels-depending which one we book our holiday with will be the one we marry in-both are all inclusive so we have the option of using our all inclusive package to our advantage when it comes to the meal/drinks if our budget is tight!

Louis Ledra Beach Hotel and the Phaethon Beach Hotel-Leaning more to the Ledra at the moment!

Sarah xx

I was thinking of doing it alone, but now im going to stay def in Dome beach hotel. Also going to book with THOMAS COOK when i can and buy there holiday package.
But in the mean time i have contacted someone out there to do my hair as i fort it would be cheaper then going through the hotel. Also trying to find a cake maker in the Nissi bay area now.

Bridetobe2013:
Im just awaiting back to hear from someone with a price, so i will let you no.
If the thomas cook wedding co arranges make up and hair do they charge you more for arranging this or is it in with your normal price you paid for them to sort it out ? xx

Ha_x3
which company are doing yours? I am going to just have make up and hair done, as i have my nails done here xx

Im not sure where your all getting married, but i have found a few contacts if anyone needs, cake maker, hair dresser as i have found them in the Northern side and i need south!!

Im also getting married in paphos, typed bridal make-up/hair and photographer/cakes into Google and all the local business's within the area come up

So far have found cake maker, photographer and two bridal hair makeup business's that im looking at-you can shop around see who offers the best deals

Anyone doing their own wedding vows for their civil ceremony in Cyprus?
When we read our copy of our legal vows we were quite taken aback with some of the wording so felt we needed something to make it a little more romantic. If anyone wants to see the official legal vows I can copy and paste them on here. xx

Also how many songs or readings have you been told you can have? We have been told 3 songs, brides entrance, signing the register and bride and groom's exit. We are having 1 reading by my son but don't know what the maximum amount is.

Yes no worries

Part 1 (Registrar)
You (Grooms name) and (Brides name) know that by your simultaneous consent which is given publicly and formally in my presence and in the presence of the persons now here, accept each other as your lawful spouse and with the confirmation of this fact by your signature you contract a lawful marriage for all the purposes of Civil Law.
You should further know that your marriage cannot be dissolved during your lifetime except by a valid judgement of a court. If either of you (before the death of the other) contracts a marriage while this one remains undissolved, you will thereby be guilty of bigamy and be liable to the consequences provided by the law.

Part 2 (Repeat after me)
I call upon all persons here present to witness that I (your name) accept you (partners name) as my lawful spouse, to love and to share with you as from this day, moments of joy and sorrow, wealth and poverty, happiness and unhappiness, throughout our life until death do separate us.

Part 3 (Registrar)
As from this moment, I pronounce you man and wife. You are joined together by your free consent in matrimony and you owe each other love, fidelity, and respect throughout your life. This marriage constitutes the fulfilment of your life and links your destinies on good and rainy days, in happiness and unhappiness, in wealth and poverty, until death do separate you.
On the basis of equality, you should face together all the problems and all the difficulties of life. Together you should shoulder the burdens of marriage each one according to your capabilities. You have both the right and obligation to take care of the upbringing and education of your children so that they may become useful and good citizens and free personalities.
