    2. Court Divorce Decree Absolute or Death Certificate (if appropriate),

    3. Certificate of no Impediment to Marriage (not older than 6 months),

    4. Proof of residence,

    5. Valid Passport, and

    6. Photocopies of the picture page of passports of the couple & two witnesses.

    IMPORTANT NOTES:

    2. The marriage application must be filed at the Standesamt of residence in case either of the to-be-wed is an Austrian or resides in Austria, or at the main registrar’s office in Vienna in case the couple is neither Austrian neither resides in Austria,

    3. All documents must be original or certified copies and translated into Austrian German by relevant authorities, and

    Austrian Weddings
    Customs & Traditions

    Every country comes with its own quirky traditions and customs and Austria is no different. The Central European nation is one of the most enjoyable places to tie the knot as their traditions make ones wedding a truly memorable experience.

    One of the most offbeat traditions of Austrian weddings is the neighbours waking up the bride-to-be very early on her wedding day with gunshots and firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits with the noise.

    Another popular custom is the groom fetching his would-be-wife from her parents’ home and then driving towards the registrar’s office via a route blocked by friends and neighbours requiring the love birds to complete certain tasks.

    However, the most popular tradition is the auction of the bridal shoe with the guests bidding on it in order to help raise money for the newly-weds.
