Hi

A friend of ours was due to get married out in northern Cyprus in September last year but about a month before she found out the wedding was not legal in the UK so she married over here first and just had a blesing out in Cyprus as it was all booked and paid for!!

Hi... I'm new on here and I am getting married in Northern Cyprus later this year, hopefully August/September. I'm not sure who your friend got their information from, but I can tell you that a registered Wedding in Northern Cyprus is 100% legal in the UK, in exactly the same way as it is in Southern Cyprus.
My friend married there last year... she had the registrar at the wedding as well as a Lay Clerk to do the blessing. If you like I can give you the details of our wedding planner in Northern Cyprus. Am i allowed to post a link/email address on here or do you want to mail me off line.

My friends wedding was magical and so much nicer in the North as it's less spoilt and developed... that's why we are now doing the same.

Anyway, hope this helps and GOOD LUCK.

Hi derya,
Thanks for your reply i was originally getting married in the south but ive recently moved to cyprus and i visited the north kyrenia and the surrounding parts and it really is beautiful and its so much cheaper than anywhere else in cyprus and hasnt been ruined by british tourists yet lol!

thanks lydia x x x

Yay, yay and Yay again!!!!!

I have posted before on here about North Cyprus weddings but couldn't find anyone else!

I am marrying in the North, at Bellapais Abbey in September, and we have a fantastic lady who is organising everything for us! Do you know where you would like to marry yet? There are some beautiful locations aren't there?
Speak soon.

Oh! my god thats where i want to have it! i saw it in the distance in kyrenia and knew had to have it going to look at it next weekend!

Tell me more! x x x

My Mum and my sis have been there (sis is building house in Lapta) and I asked her to look at it for me as I had only seen pics on the net. Anyway - Mum came home and said, oh I don't think you'll like it, it's all ruins!! LOL!! THAT was my idea of heaven! I love the fact that it is so picturesque! We are having our wedding on the Garden side of the Kybele Restaurant, (you can see the coast etc from there and it is a bit more secluded and then we will have the reception part on the Abbey side. SO - we get the best of both worlds. Tee hee!!

It sounds amazing! ive found loads of pictures of it on the internet, ive pictured somethig similar for years but never found anything like it! bless your mum its all ruins!
I saw it all lit up on the way back from kyrenia and it took my breath away!

Whose your wedding planner?

Ill be taking loads of photos of it when i go next weekend so ill email you them if you like x

My Wedding planner is Vashti, she is brilliant. If you are looking for someone, you can find her under
www.north-cyprusweddings.com

I can never have enough photo's!! Lol! Am getting quite obsessed with them now!!

I don't know what time they turn the lights on, but our wedding is at 4pm, and I am hoping that we can get some shots of the sunset and the Abbey lit up. I dreamed of a place like this too, since I was little, so I am now just so excited.

When are you hoping to get married?
xx

I was thinking of a late ceremony aswell im picturing candles everywhere! with the sun setting!

We originally wanted september but with the move over here and everything we might have to put it on hold till may/june next year. x

You are so on my wavelength!

I am so jealous that you have moved out there, some of my family will be flying to Larnaca and driving across, so they are getting the best of both sides!

Derya - Have you booked anything yet?

xx

Theres a airport in the north aswell ercan airport its only 20 mins from bellapais.
I didnt realise there was such a big divide bettween the north and south of cyprus, my h2b is in the military (thats why we moved here) we have to give a weeks notice before we enter the north even tho its 5 mins from the house and get permission!

have you picked a dress yet and decided on a theme?

Im going for a vintage grecian glamour theme lots of white flowers and candles everywhere. x

Ooo! I really had my heart set on a grecian style dress. It was really soft and flowing with some sparkle (not too much though) and with wide straps, and a "band" under the bust if that makes sense? doesn't sound too nice when I try to describe it!! But, I found exactly what I had been dreaming about, and went running into the dressing room to try it on, all excited I came out and looked in the mirror, and it looked bloody awful on me!! LOL! So I had to completely open my mind and try on lots of other styles to see what suited me and what didn't. I went home absolutely gutted! I still long for that dress even though I know it looked so crappy on me, and to rub salt in the wound, saw a pic of a girl in the dress I loved and she looked absolutely gorgeous - typical!

Anyway, we are having a red and ivory theme, my fav colour since I was little is red, and my favourite flowers are roses, so it kinda goes.

I too am looking at candles, and I want red petals on the tables, and hopefully other places too!

Me and h2b are flying into Ercan, we have to, to be allowed to marry there, but the rest of the family can get the cheap tickets to Larnaca! Jammie!

My sis is married to a man in the forces, and they are hoping he may get posted there too. It's a lovely country isn't it?

xx

couldnt resist some pics!
