Why do we have to have a civil ceremony before our religious blessing in France?
In France, only weddings solemnized by the civil authorities have legal standing; thus a church wedding has spiritual significance, but not legal status. Before the religious wedding ceremony can take place, you must show proof of civil marriage. The easiest way to do this is to be married in a civil ceremony in your home country and bring your civil marriage certificate with you when you come. To be married by the civil authorities in France requires a 40-day residency and a great deal of bureaucratic paperwork.
