On July 5th, I will be flying to Italy to meetup with my fiance who has been au pairing in Caorle (near Venice) for the last month. We will be in Italy as late as August 5th and than have plans in Budapest until Aug 20th at which point we could go back to Italy until the end of August to make this happen. So our window to make this happen is most of July and August 1-5, and 20-30th.
Here's where I need to some help:
Some sites say we need a document showing a "proof of divorce". Some sites say only if said person had been married in last 300 days, others say it is required. My fiance is a divorcee, but it was over 3 years ago. Any knowledge on this?
We must obtain a "Dichiarazione Glurata" (document stating there is no legal impediment to your marriage according to the US state in which we are residents). Was this difficult to obtain in your experience? More specifically, do you know if we can obtain this in Venice (some sites only show Milan, Rome, Florence, and I think Naples) Lots of mixed messages on this.
How do we go about finding someone to marry us? - we only want a "courthouse" style wedding, no church or religious person needed. How do we go about finding someone?
Did you need a translator at any point?
Overall, how difficult was the process? So far it seems like a major headache!!
Any additional tips or suggestions are welcome and thank you all.
PS: We don't have a lot to spend on this. We can do a few hundred for the documents but we are just trying to keep the cost as low as possible.
Thank you very much in advance for any advice offered. Google has given me SO much information on this that it's hard to know exactly what to do! Thanks again!
