The choosing of witnesses for the marriage
In the Catholic Church, two witnesses must be present at the wedding ceremony. The Protestant Church as well as the registry office meanwhile leave this decision to the wedding couple. The prerequisite for the choice of witnesses is that they are at least 18 years old for a civil wedding and at least 14 years old for a church wedding and that they are present at the ceremony. A digital connection is therefore not sufficient for the formal marriage ceremony. Valid identification papers must be brought along and the witnesses to the marriage must either be German native speakers or have an interpreter provided.
During the preparation and on your big day let yourself be supported: by your witnesses, relatives and service providers. Knowing that you are in trustworthy hands means that you, as the bride and groom, can enjoy the day with the entire wedding party from the beginning to the end.
