Planner Gay wedding in Italy: advice from a Wedding Planner

Gay marriage in Italy: not only an opportunity to celebrate love, but also an achievement.  Currently celebrated through so-called civil unions, it has a high symbolic and  representative value of equality and inclusion, but at the same time it preserves intact the  romance and emotion that every union brings with it. What better place than Italy to  celebrate such a meaningful union? Let’s find out together how gay marriage in Italy differs  from a traditional union and the wedding planner’s advice to make this day truly unique.

Gay marriage in Italy: between love and rights

In recent years, Italy has made important progress in promoting LGBTQ+ rights. In 2016,  Parliament made civil unions legal for same-sex couples, starting a journey towards  inclusion that allowed homosexual couples to have their legal rights recognized and  celebrate their love in a marriage ceremony. legal and symbolic marriage. However, civil  union has some differences compared to egalitarian marriage: 

First of all, civil union does not require banns, which are necessary for civil marriage, i.e.  the one celebrated between a man and a woman. 

Same-sex couples cannot marry in church – with subsequent recognition by the State – but  only in front of a Civil Registrar and in the presence of two witnesses. 

Obligation of cohabitation and moral and material assistance are also valid for civil  unions. Homosexual couples, however, cannot adopt, nor are they required to respect the  obligation of fidelity

The last rule concerns divorce: civilly united couples can request it through a declaration  to the civil registry officer and obtain the dissolution of the union after just three months  (which, in the case of civil marriage, becomes 6-12). 

For foreign couples, it is necessary to obtain the nulla osta from the country of origin. If  the country in question is among those that do not recognize homosexual unions, don’t  worry: gay marriage in Italy is protected by a decree that prevails over international laws:  therefore a green light for foreigners too.

Once the location has been chosen, it will be time to study the mood of the event: if you  are looking for inspiration you can browse our gallery. For example, the wedding we  organized for Lorenzo and Stefano, celebrated in the elegant Sala Rossa of Palazzo  Vecchio, in Florence, and played on the colors of the rainbow to give an even deeper  meaning to their union. A wedding celebrated in the middle of winter with a truly summery  light giving an excellent result also for the photo shoot. 

Contrary to what one might think, the duration of the civil ceremony is not short, in fact it  is usually possible to read promises and exchange vows, often very moving, underlined by  background songs played by master violinists. For civil unions, as well as for civil  marriages, not only are there municipal halls, but most Italian municipalities offer the  possibility of having a municipal house in breathtaking locations, such as: the Doria  Fortress Castle in Portovenere, the natural island of Pianosa, villas hidden among olive  trees and cypresses in the countryside and much more.
