We got married at Paphos Town Hall 9 years ago. I don%26#39;t know whether things have changed, but the vows were not as at home. As far as I remember, the lady conducting the ceremony just read out a shortish legal type statement (very nicely read!) I think we said a few words for the %26#39;exchanging of the rings%26#39; bit, more or less as you do at home. We had two witnesses, as well as our guests, and the whole ceremony was no more than about 15 minutes. It was a brilliant day, and although the ceremony bit is short and sweet, unlike a big do at home, it was a lovely day, and I would do it all over again (if I wasn%26#39;t already married!!). The hotel and local people will make it a day to remember, and Cyprus is a beautiful place to get married. You won%26#39;t be disappointed.

Yes, I would second what Hornplayer has said. paphos is an absolutely wonderful place. We got married there in June of this year. The vows were slightly different to back home. You need 2 witnesses and it was over and done with in about 15 minutes. Simply the best day of my life !

If I can help you with any queries, just ask !

Sam

P.S You get given a copy of the vows after the ceremony as well as a plaque confirming you married there !

Hiya Livelylinzi

Was just wondering how you went about booking your wedding at the town hall? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Am looking to get married there in May 2007 and would like to do most of the organising myself.

Thanks

Hi All,

We booked our wedding with Di at Paphosfinder weddings, once we told her what date we wanted, she came back to us the next day with confirmation. Can%26#39;t fault her, she kept us up todate with everything that was gonig on, and when we arrived she took us to the town hall for the paper work, (which was nerve racking, lol) but she was great, even tho we know paphos and was thinknig about doing it our selves we were glad we didn%26#39;t, it was stressfull enough before we left london just by choosing the invites and bridesmaid dresses etc, goodness knows what it would have been like if we had do do all the finer details!!

Yes, 2 of your guests can be witnesses - we had my sister as one, and brother in law as the other.

Hi

Thanks for your reply about sunbed towels. No we are not getting married at the Atlantica just having a week away in the sunshine. When we were there before we did see a couple getting married though - looked very beautiful. I wish you good luck.

Hi Livelylinzi

Me and my Partner have just got married in the town hall in paphos.

Thursday 8th March 2007.

The best day of my life.

The vows are not like englands but they are not that hard to remember - even tho i forgot what i had to say half way into saying my vows, haha plus it only lasts 15 mins.

You need 2 witnesses - we didnt invite anyone out with us so we asked our wedding co-ordinator and holiday rep to be our witnesses.

I have a copy of the wedding vows here as they were giving to us with our wedding licence so if you would like a copy - here is my email address so just email me and i will send.

We stayed at the Athena Royal Beach Hotel and it was fab - couldnt of asked for anything better as all the staff made our wedding day so lovely.

As for your wedding photo%26#39;s - go for a company called %26quot;papos and son%26quot; they did our wedding photo%26#39;s and they turned out sooooo perfect and we had the wedding recorded and the dvd is great.

If i dont hear from you - have a wonderful day xxx

Love Amanda xxxx
