Getting Married in Denmark quickly after covid

As we all put 2020 behind us with a shudder and a sense of relief, we are all now experiencing more freedom and even more importantly - some more places that we can again visit TOGETHER with our loved ones. It has been tough for couples, lovers, families and relationships, of whom have been indirectly affected by COVID as well as possibly directly.

We are passionate about reuniting hearts, souls and loves, and getting married in Denmark is certainly the best and fastest option for foreign, international and same sec couples that are looking to get married quickly and easily with very few documents.

International borders are opening up to those of us that are vaccinated or have negative COVID tests, so it's time that we can begin to put the past behind us and to focus looking forward onto the future and re-ignite those wedding plans that we put to rest!

A lot of couples have been separated in the past 12 -18 months, and for this reason there are a lot of international couples that want and need  to get married as quickly as possible, and by doing so safeguarding an enforced split is less likely to ever happen again, and they can finally put the lives that have been on hold firmly into forward motion.

It is a beautiful country..

Denmark itself is a stunning country you have almost every landscape that you can wish for apart from mountains the highest point of land in Denmark is only 171metres high!  The coastline is amazing and the beaches are straight from a dramatic movie.  The country is made up of 406 islands the majority are uninhibited.

Copenhagen, and all the cities are cool, cosmopolitan, environmentally friendly and have historic tales from monuments that lead to great dinner table stories.

The smaller towns are stunning with often multi-coloured buildings still living their ancestory of fishing and crafts whilst remaining 'cool' and cultured.

Denmark still has 18 working lighthousesthese are all very important as except for the island of Bornholm, Denmark is located at the transition between North Sea and Baltic Sea which includes the Skagerrak and Kattegat waters.  Dangerous seas for the ships and boats that pass the shoreline frequently.

Since the reform in the Danish government in January 2019, the process is simple and easy.  There are no grey areas at to the documents that you need, all the applications are managed by a central government agency so it's easy to see where you are in the application process.  Once approved your 'permission to marry' is sent electronically to the town hall where you will be marrying and then you can book your appointment.  Granted if you are applying directly the channels of communication may not be a clear, and it is advisable to choose a reliable wedding planner to help you with the process.

The Danes are wonderful..

Everytime we hear from our couples after they have been married they say "it was so beautiful" and "everyone was so lovely and helpful".  These comments always make our hearts jump.  Getting married is nerve wracking, getting married abroad can be even more nerve wracking.  You are going to a foreign country, for a lot of people it's their first time in Denmark, not a lot of couples speak Danish so they will find themselves asking a lot of questions.  The Danish are always so helpful, see this blog from "Study in Denmark" that help explains the way of thinking of the Danes.  And always think of Hygge.

The History of the country..

Denmarks first writings are in 500ad, that is a long time ago and the history surrounding the country can be seen everywhere. Of course you have the Viking era that started in the 9th Century and can be seen in towns now such as Aarhusa walled city that has the most incredible Viking museum!  In the early 10th Century the Kingdom of Denmark was created and along with that came the castles and amazing sites that are now heritage sites.  There is so much history, and can be read about here.
