7 answersCan we have our wedding before legally getting married?
Is it possible to have a wedding without signing anything legally and then go to the registry with witnesses a few months later to sign the marriage documents? My fiance is in a visa process and has been advised not to change his marriage status until he receives his permanent residency. However, we want to have our wedding with family and friends before we move away later this year and can't guarantee he'll receive the residency in time.

Hello. I was wondering what happens if our celebrant is sick or something happens and they can't come to our wedding on the day? Do they usually have a backup celebrant in mind for this sort of thing? And how does it work with the legal side, would our marriage still be legal if another celebrant performed the ceremony? Thank you!
