Yes, we are actually getting MARRIED in Greece

So what does it take to get Married in Greece?



It's all Greek to me so Doug has been shuffling through all of the paperwork for six months now.

• Apostle sealed Birth Certificates. We had to request new birth certificates from our respective states so the notary would be current. Then we submitted these to Washington DC for verification
• Greek power of attorney for our Hotel Coordinator to drop off the paperwork
• Posting in the local newspaper Post in an Athenian paper ( proposals: kathimerini, nea, for more info : http://www.hri.org/nodes/grmm.html
• Greek Embassy-Consulate a certificate proving that no issue or matter may arise any problem on you from getting married ( translated into greek)
• Greek Translations…. Birth certificates, Divorce papers, Availability Certificate, Washington State marriage license.
