AGE REQUIREMENTS 

Australian law does not permit any marriage if both parties are under the age of eighteen at the time and date you wish to be married. If one party is not yet eighteen, but is sixteen years of age or older, permission may be granted with written parental consent on an official form and a Court Order under Sec. 12 of the Marriage Act.

AFTER THE CEREMONY 

 Once the ceremony has finished and all the signing has been done I will lodge your completed paperwork with the Registry of Birth, Deaths and Marriages in the state you chose to be married.
