Question of the week:

Is it advisable to get married before traveling abroad?

Whether it is advisable to get married before traveling abroad depends on several factors, including legal, financial, personal, and cultural considerations. Here’s a detailed breakdown of aspects to consider:

1. Legal and Immigration Considerations
Visa and Residency Benefits: Some countries offer easier visa approvals or residency options for married couples. If one spouse has a strong visa status (e.g., citizenship or permanent residency), it may benefit the other spouse.
Dependent Visa Eligibility: Many countries provide dependent visas for spouses, which can allow for work rights, education benefits, or even access to healthcare.
Avoiding Immigration Issues: Some nations scrutinize couples applying for visas together, especially if they are unmarried. If marriage proves your legitimate relationship, it can smooth the process.

2. Financial Considerations
Shared Financial Responsibilities: Marriage may simplify financial matters like joint bank accounts, shared travel insurance, and combined expenses.
Tax and Insurance Benefits: In some countries, being married can lead to tax breaks and lower insurance premiums.
Cost of Marriage Abroad: Some couples find it cheaper to marry before traveling rather than dealing with the legalities of marriage in a foreign country.

3. Cultural and Social Aspects
Acceptance in Foreign Cultures: Some cultures and societies are more accepting of married couples traveling together. Unmarried couples may face legal or social challenges, especially in conservative countries.
Accommodation Issues: Some hotels or rental properties in conservative nations may not allow unmarried couples to stay together.
Family Expectations: If family expectations or traditions encourage marriage before travel, this might be a significant consideration.

4. Relationship Stability
Commitment Level: Marriage is a significant commitment. If marriage is being considered primarily for travel convenience, ensure both partners are genuinely ready for it.
Potential Stress Factors: Travel can be stressful, and adjusting to a new country can put pressure on relationships. It’s essential to have a strong foundation before making such a big decision.

5. Flexibility and Future Plans
Ease of Separation (if necessary): If marriage is done solely for travel reasons, consider the implications of divorce later. Some countries have strict divorce laws that might complicate future separation.
Future Opportunities: Marriage might provide long-term benefits, such as eligibility for citizenship through a spouse in certain countries.

Final Verdict
If marriage is already in your plans and provides significant benefits (e.g., easier immigration, financial security, or cultural acceptance), it may be advisable to do it before traveling.
If marriage is being rushed only for travel convenience, it’s better to weigh long-term personal and legal consequences carefully.

repost from Just got some wedding sneak peek photos back and I can’t help but be in awe of how amazing my vendors were. As someone who is *very* leery of trusting my vision in other peoples hands, I tend to always feel as though if I don’t do something myself, it won’t get done at all, and it surely won’t get done the way I would’ve done it. However, I can wholeheartedly say the vendors I picked went ABOVE & beyond. It’s always in the little details. It’s in the way heard that I wanted NINE cakes of all different flavors and never tried to sway me from it. I must’ve refined my idea 3,000 times and she was excited and supportive every step of the way.
It’s how became a listening ear whenever I needed to vent or flesh my ideas out. She and her team never tried to stifle my creativity, and made sure to ask the important questions when I consistently kept my head in the clouds. It’s in the way began the ceremony with the BEST compliment ever and made the entire 30 minutes so fun and energetic to match our vibe. Or how was quite literally hired a week before the wedding, and yet jumped on board as if she’d been here the entire almost 2 years of planning. She fit so seamlessly and provided so much content I can’t stop looking at. And how .glams not only appreciated my hands on approach, but encouraged me to not minimize the way I am to make others comfortable. And holy MOLY God knew what to do when he put a makeup brush in her hands 😭. Not one girl could stop talking about how amazing they looked. From who literally played the Super Bowl version of Not like Us, to who heard me when I told them it was imperative to us that the food was hot, seasoned and delicious - It was a freaking time! I could honestly go on and on about how amazing all of my vendors were, as they were all so kind and helpful, so to sum it up,
Thank you to all who came and experienced that magic in person. For those that didn’t, , who I had total and complete faith in from the moment I saw her beautiful work - captured it so perfectly. I can’t wait to see the full ga
