An Orthodox wedding gives you an incredible opportunity to get married by Orthodox ceremony, something you will never forget. The ceremony itself is incredibly touching and full of inner beauty. Its idea is God’s blessing of marriage, future children, and eternal unity.
It is necessary to mention that the Church and the State of Greece are indivisible; therefore the ceremony has an official status and afterward an official wedding certificate is issued by Greek Authorities. It does not matter if the couple already had a civil ceremony – the Orthodox wedding requires special wedding permission from local Greek Metropoly and has a standard paperwork procedure.
A Catholic wedding ceremony is the same as the Orthodox with the same requirements when it comes to legal issues. The majority of Greek islands have Catholic churches, including the most picturesque ones: Santorini, Mykonos, Tinos, Crete, Rhodes, Paros, Naxos as well as Athens.
