Is there any other information you would like to share?
At the completion of the course if you wish to begin arrangements for your wedding day please make an appointment with the parish priest, Fr Anthony O'Connor SM, to discuss.
When you are planning your wedding, you will also need to get a marriage licence, you must arrange this yourself. The following information is from the website https://www.govt.nz/browse/family-and-whanau/getting-married/get-a-marriage-licence/
Before you get married, you need to apply for a marriage licence. This confirms it’s legal for you to marry. A marriage licence costs $150.
What you need to know:
You need to arrange your licence at least 3 working days before you get married.
It expires after 3 months.
If you’re using a celebrant, they have separate fees.
Only one of you needs to complete the application, but you need information about both of you.
Taking a new married name:
If a bride wishes to assume her married surname, or a previous married surname, she may do so as a matter of course.
You are legally entitled to use your surname at birth, any married surname, or a combination of these at any time of your life, unless you have already formally renounced these names by taking out a statutory declaration (or "deed poll") name change.
There are no application forms to complete, and no fees associated with assuming your married name.
