I've decided get married in Morocco.but I need some advice?
D*Kat asked:
I am now 4 months pregnant & I have decided that I want to eventually marry my Moroccan boyfriend...the only reason we havn't married yet is because I've never seen any importance in Marriage until now...I just saw it as a bunch of paperwork...I've been thinking bout it lately. WHY NOT? We love each other, We are happy, we are going to be parents...So why not have a ceromony to celebrate our love & invite family & friends?

Here are some of my questions..
•Will it be strange having our 3 year old daughter as a bridesmaid?
•I was thinking of a two day wedding the 1st a Moroccan party in traditional clothes the 2nd day an out door ceromony in a a white dress...where we sign the papers.
•Im agnostic..he's a muslim, so will a totally non religious ceromony go down well?
•Can you recommend any Gardens in Morocco for an outdoor wedding?..If its possible, thanks : )

Shouldn't you find out from your fiance?
As for the 3-year-old in the wedding, don't force her to do it.

My husband is from Moroco we got married when i was 3 months pregnant. are you waiting because you dont want to marry him pregant? It wont be looked at as stange im geting remaried in casablanca this year and one of my daughters 13 will be one of my bridesmaids. Alot of morocons now choose the western white dress over morocan wedding kaftan, so dont worry it is normal.
Im catholic and hes Islamic and we arent having a religious wedding at all. Marakech has loads of big gardens. but why not on the beach. my brother had a beach wedding in Australia & that was beauytiful.

Well for starters, pregnancy shuold come AFTER the wedding…anyways he CANT marry you as you are not christian or jew….this is islamic law. Fornicators both you are, so u deserve each other, but dont pollute a nice traditional wedding, you dont deserve it, you had your chance and *** was more important to you than proper behaviour. And you would dare wear white? Have you and him no shame at all?

I am not sure you will be able to have a legal marriage. You MUST be a christian or jew to marry a muslim man and you MUST provide a baptism certificate (a legal document). I suppose you MIGHT be able to find someone to perform a service or ceremony, but it would not be legally binding in Morocco or any other foreign country. When filing the paperwork to be married, I had to provide a statement to the Police (in person) stating that we had not had pre-marital *** and then have a blood test to show that I was not currently pregnant. Some other people have not had to do this. I guess it depends on how much you are bribing the officials. To be married legally in Morocco, the papers must be signed before the actual marriage ceremony in the Adul's office, after meeting all requirements.
As for whether or not the non religious ceremony will go down well — it depends on whether or not you can find someone to perform a non-religious ceremony, and your relationship with his family and friends and how liberal his family and friends are.
Best of luck to you.

You really need to speak with your boyfriend..I was married in Morocco just a little over a year ago and one of the questions you will be asked is"Have you two had sexual relations?" *** before marriage is not acceptable in an Islamic country…I would certainly discuss this with him and his family.. I am not judging you, just trying to give you a little info
