Getting Married in Australia After an Overseas Wedding
Wait... can you do it twice?
So, you got married overseas (congrats!), and now you’re wondering: Can we do it all over again in Australia?
Well, legally? Nope.
If you’ve already tied the knot overseas, you can’t get legally married again here in Australia. Once you’re legally hitched, that’s it, one wedding certificate to rule them all.
But!… That doesn’t mean you can’t still have a big, beautiful, love-filled celebration on home soil. In fact, it’s the perfect excuse for a second round of joy, minus the paperwork.
Here’s how 👇
💛 1. Commitment Ceremony
Not worried about legalities, just want the lovey-dovey vibes? A commitment ceremony is a gorgeous way to say your vows again and celebrate your relationship with your fave people. You can make it as meaningful, fun, or quirky as you like. No rules, no legal lines, just you two celebrating your love.
💍 2. Vow Renewal
Want to relive the marriage moment (or do it your way this time)? A vow renewal is perfect for anniversaries, new chapters, or simply a chance to say “I still do.” You can recreate your original wedding or go in a totally new direction - beach picnic, backyard bash, disco barn, anything goes.
🎉 3. Celebration Party
Sometimes, you just want to throw a party! If your fam and mates couldn’t make it to the overseas wedding, a post-wedding celebration party in Australia gives you a second shot at the dance floor, the speeches, the cake, and maybe even a cheeky re-vow moment in front of your crowd.
✨ The Perks? Less Admin, More Fun
No forms. No legal jargon. No need to triple-check passport numbers. Just pure celebration, however you want it, with all the style and none of the stress. You can focus on what really matters: the love, the laughter, and the awkward dance moves.
Bonus Tip: Planning to Marry Overseas?
If you’re planning to marry overseas, make sure the marriage is legally recognised in Australia (most are, but it’s worth checking!). Here’s a handy guide to help you prep before you jet off.
