    My h2b and I are going to a plush 5 star hotel with 14 other people this sept in turkey and I've just had thought why not tie the knot and surprise him at same time... Have asked at travel agents and a couple of online sites but because we've already booked the holiday they can't help as its not a package deal...has anyone here got any ideas how I could go about arranging a small wedding without fuss while we away... ?

    Have you looked into the things that you need to provide etc to get married in turkey ?

    this might help

    Details on all documents required to marry are available from the registry office. Expect the following documents to be required by both parties wishing to be married:

    Passport/Identification: non-residents must show a passport with valid tourist visa translated into Turkish by a certified notary in Turkey or by the Turkish embassy or consulate in their country

    Full birth certificate: translated into Turkish by a certified notary in Turkey or the Turkish embassy or consulate in their country

    Health certificate: issued following a medical examination at the State Medical Institution (Sağlık Ocağı or Devlet Hastanesi)
    specified by the chosen registry office. Blood tests are taken to check for contagious diseases. Chest x-rays are sometimes required

    Photos: six passport-size photos

    Decree Absolute: if divorced

    Spouse's death certificate, previous marriage certificate: if widowed

    Deed Poll: if the birth name has been officially changed

    Adoption certificate: if adopted

    Letter of consent from a parent or guardian: if under 18 and judged fit to marry

    Accommodation document: foreign couples not resident in Turkey must provide a letter of accommodation written by the hotel stating the duration of stay and departure date

    All foreigners being married in Turkey are also required to provide a Certificate of No Impediment/Certificate of Capacity to Marry/Certificate of Celibacy/Affidavit of Eligibility to Marry.
    Known by different names in different English-speaking countries, this document certifies that a person is legally free to be married.

    Non-resident foreigners: request this document from their home municipal office. It must be translated in to Turkish by a notarised translator and then certified by the Turkish embassy or consulate in that country.
