Easier Gran Canaria Weddings

After literally months and over 100 meetings Gran Canaria Weddings and Celebrations SL has managed to persuade the authorities in Gran Canaria to make it easier for couples either wishing to get legally married or have civil partnerships anywhere on the Island

Before the changes were made, if a couple wished to be married here they would have to visit 3 separate occasions in one year to complete paperwork and fulfil residency requirements which was ridiculous, expensive and off putting

Couples of the same sex were also told they couldnt have their love for each other legally done as tourists here as they were told that gay marriage wasnt valid outside Spain!

So Gran Canaria Weddings then tackled that issue and established that people were being told the wrong information by the local authorities, and we have confirmation now that a Gay Marriage in Spain is legally recognised as a Civil Partnership in the UK and other european countries where the union of a gay couple is legally recognised as well, which is a welcome boost for an Island which is a mecca for Gay Couples as well due to its liberal views and openeess for all people

Under the new arrangements, Gran Canaria Weddings and Celebrants is able to present all of the legal documents on behalf of the couples using a power of attorney type system and thus saving the couples considerable amounts of money as well.

New Trends for Brides

There has been a lot of buzz about the new Pronovia's 08 collection. Plenty of frills and fuss, and a really elegant feel.

Brides now have more choice than ever, and if Hollywood glamour is your style, then you are in luck with many designers.

We asked local bridal shop, Kristina's Bridal what was hot for next season's brides.

"brides are showing alot of interest in bridal gowns with coloured trim. This Alfred Angelo bridal gown (see image to the left) is our best seller this year and with 46 different colour varieties we have sold, ivory/burgundy and ivory/champagne as our best sellers but also the more unusual white with black trim and ivory / brown.

Our other designer Trudy lee have a fantastic range of full & straight gowns one in particular (see image above) is becoming a favourite for 2008 weddings."
