Love / HELP: Getting married in Poland not in a Catholic Church [12]
Thanks Harry.
Michal thanks for your word of warning but we have been going out for 6 years and living together for 3 years. Besides which she is a GP and speaks perfect English (and earns more than I do!) and could if she wanted, emigrate to Australia without me. You tend to be pretty careful with your choice of future bride after one tremendous f...up.....

Love / HELP: Getting married in Poland not in a Catholic Church [12]
Hi all,
New to this forum and just begging for help.
I'm an Australian who has been living in the UK for 7 or so years. My Polish fiancee and I are planning to get married in a small town in the East of Poland in June.
We would have quite happily got married in a Catholic Church (both she and I are Catholic if not exactly practising) but there is one snag. I have been married and divorced before. I applied for an annulment about 6 months ago to enable me to marry again in the Catholic church. Unfortunately, though I'm sure I will eventually get it, the process is way too slow and I more than likely won't get it in time.
Delaying the wedding is not an option as being in retrospect, overly optimistic, I have already told everyone and family and friends have booked flights out from Australia for the occassion.
The only weddings my fiancee has ever attended in Poland have been Catholic Church weddings. She knows of people who have been married in a registry office for a second wedding but generally these have been small events whereby a few people went to a restaurant afterwards. Unfortunately this wedding is not going to be so small.
In Australia and the UK, I have known people to have a civil celebrant officiating at a large wedding in a hall or wherever. My fiancee has never heard of this in Poland.
So finally to my question. Do you have civil celebrants that would do that sort of thing in Poland? If so what should I look up (Polish language sites would be fine)
thanks in advance
