Anyone get married in Malta?

[NoMercy]

What was your experience like?

[boxtops]

NoM, no I didn't but we love Malta - we have Maltese friends, if you want me to ask them about any details, let me know.

We do have a Maltese ABer - look out for crossword questions from the Times of Malta newspaper!

Thank you, boxy. I believe one can't marry in Malta unless one is RC.

[boxtops]

I don't think so, NoM http://www.weddings-a...married-in-malta.html

"If you are having a religious wedding, you need to state the name of your priest" according to your link.

On another website it said that your priest in the UK would have to Liaise with Maltese Priest and even produce documentation to prove you are catholic.

[boxtops]

Yes - IF you are having a religious wedding. It doesn't say you have to. That's my interpretation. I've googled and it does seem a far more secular society than it used to be, although the Church remains very important on the island. I'll ask my friend if you want me to?

[NoMercy]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[boxtops]

Leave it with me - it may take some days to reach her!

Why Malta NM.Went there about 10 years ago, and on touring the island most of it was like a bomb site. I enjoyed Valletta (sp) horse drawn carriages etc. The best part was a ferry ride to Gozo, and going down the caves where the priests hid and preached.

[boxtops]

It's a lovely place, micmak - flowers and trees and beautiful vistas. We love it.

[maggiebee]

Haven't experienced this but would really like to!!

sounds like the topic box, R&S, micmak........

[boxtops]

I hadn't realised until we visited that Malta has relics from so long ago - from present times, going back to prehistory, a vital stopping off point during so many campaigns in even pre-Roman times. We'll be back.

[micmak]

I won't.

[boxtops]

we wouldn't mind moving over there....

[DTCwordfan]

boxtops would have to be renamed to come on here......kaxxa uċuħ

[DTCwordfan]

it must be getting late, I read that typo, welshlib, as hornymoon - which is probably a good term for it.

[micmak]

We stayed at the Qwara Palace. Can't speak for now but then a 4* hotel. Food was awful, service dreadful. I would never go back.

[welshlibranr]

DT!.....Oh no!........you know what I meant!......yes, it's getting late!......lol....
