English speaking with British customs and laws, and Sterling currency (Gibraltarian law is based on UK law). Having a legal civil wedding in Gibraltar is a straightforward process for overseas visitors, with a simple and easy to follow process for submitting documentation. The ceremony can be conducted in either English or Spanish. Because of its proximity to Spain, which has much stricter regulations surrounding marriage of foreign nationals, Gibraltar is popular with couples who will later hold their honeymoon in either Spain or Morocco.
Foreign nationals wishing to marry in Gibraltar must apply for a Special Marriage Licence. The application can be made any time between 3 months and 1 day prior to the wedding. Did you know? Hollywood lovers, heartthrob Lawrence Harvey and Margaret Leighton were one of the first high profile couples to say ‘I do’ in Gibraltar. In 1962, as the world became entranced by the numbers 007, screen hero Sean Connery married actress Diane Cilento here. Sadly, this marriage was not to last but Connery’s affection for Gibraltar did as he returned in 1975 to marry his present wife Micheline Boglio Roquebrune. However, it is the marriage of Beatle John Lennon to Yoko Ono in 1969 that caused the biggest media sensation - “We chose Gibraltar because it is quiet, British and friendly. We tried everywhere else first. We tried embassies, but three weeks’ residence in Germany or two weeks in France was required. “John Lennon, 1969. Location, Location, Location! It was the Registry Office or nothing in John and Yoko Lennon’s day. Now you can marry at Bistro Point, the very edge of Europe.
