Registry Office/Civil Weddings
 
Civil ceremonies are very popular for overseas weddings, partly because some countries only allow civil ceremonies for non-resident couples, but also because you can hold them in a wider variety of locations. Some countries do require you have your ceremony in a building with a roof, but others will allow you to marry anywhere you choose.
