Question for the law experts here why was the civil ceremony held the day before and not on the same day as a church service is the church service not legal in Luxemburg.
Or if they have to have two ceremony's why not do them the same day? its seem weird to have to get married two days in a row.
I noted the same thing when the wedding was held in Monaco civil service day before there too, and the church service next day, do not remember what happened in Sweden if they had to have a separate civil service there or if the church service was enough once they signed the marriage register. In the UK it was all done at the church service and they signed the register
Just would be interested on hearing what the legal requirements are for these and all royal family weddings around the world

Luxembourg recognizes only civil marriages, so they got married only once. The religious ceremony has no legal status (i.e., was optional), and may be held only after the civil ceremony has taken place (which can, but need not be, on the same day). Similarly, marriage in Monaco is a civil, not a religious, matter, so Albert and Charlene got married only once. As in Sweden either a civil or religious marriage is permitted, Victoria and Daniel got married only once, in church, according to the customs of the Established Church of Sweden. Many continental European countries recognizes only civil marriages, e.g., Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Rumania, and Switzerland. In most of these countries, the clergy are prohibited from performing any religious ceremony before the civil marriage has taken place. Japan also recognizes only civil marriages in the sense that registering the marriage with the local civic authorities is what constitutes a marriage - ceremonies are for photographs and family and have no legal status. In Taiwan, from May 23, 2008, registration of a marriage at the Household Registration Bureau Office constitutes a performed marriage. The date of the registration at this office is the effective date of the marriage. Again, any other ceremonies have no legal status (though the wedding planning business is big in Taiwan, as it is in Japan). Royals weddings must follow the laws of the land, of course. |
