Christmas time is the most popular time of the year for proposals, so if you are newly engaged, The Wedding Guide of Spain would like to say a very big congratulations. There is a lot of think about when planning a wedding, and location is definitely an important factor. While the weather in the UK is grey and cold, many of you may be thinking about the warm sunshine and sandy beaches that a wedding in Spain offers.

Is 2008 your wedding year? Are all your plans in place? If not, there is no need to panic. We will be writing even more articles and features to help you get married in Spain, and our friendly staff are always available to answer your questions or help you find a supplier. Feel free to email us at info@theweddingguide.eu with any questions, comments or just for a chat about weddings or life in Spain.

Las Vegas is almost as well known for it's spontaneous, wacky weddings as it is for it's casinos. So it is no surprise that the new European entertainment complex to be built in Spain, and based on the famous American 'sin city' may include weddings chapels to cater to a similar trend.

The new city is to be build in a stretch of desert in Aragon, East Spain, and plans include 32 hotels, 5 theme parks, a stadium and conference centre. Plenty of places to choose from to hold a wedding and reception, even without wedding chapels!

The city's location is close to the Zaragoza airport, which offers low cost flights from several airlines. No doubt we will see wedding planners across Spain offering packages to this location as soon as it is completed. Official plans will be released in the next few weeks, and we will keep you posted with any tentative completion dates.



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.
