I'm getting married to my morsiani next year. Currently living in UK, planning to have the wedding in Punkaharju.
Any websites or advice that would be good for me to know?
Any photographers or wedding services in the Saimaa or Savo area that people could recommend?
Any agencies I need to be in contact with as a British national?
your advice and comments are welcomed.
Getting married
You need a statement form either the British Embassy in Helsinki, or your local Registrar syaing there is no reason why you cannot be married (i.e. you're already married). Get them to put lots of offical looking stamps on it (the more the merrier!)
Then, if you want to get married in the Lutheran (or Catholic, or Anglican) church, you need a certificate of baptism showing you have been christened, or a conformation certicate, from an apistotle (? is this spealt right ?) church. Such churches are the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church (that is churches that claim a direct link to St Paul, the first Bishop.) Methodist Presbyterians and other are not, but would still probably be acceptable. A certifciate printed on your home PC with pentagrams, goats heads and signed by Yothshoggoth won't.
You need all the paper work done & dusted at least two weeks before the wedding.
I don't know of any photographic services in that area. But you will also probably need an English - Finnish - Savo translator...
Good luck
& the advise I was given about having a Finnish wife
Just let her get on with what she wants to do, just follow closely behind and pick the pieces/repair the damage

yeah, savo is not the easiest dialect to understand, well, for me anyway....-
