In Cyprus, the calling of banns does not apply and you do not need to have them called in the UK before coming to Cyprus. The Form B (see Legal Requirements) substitutes for the calling of banns and grants you eligibility to be married here. Anglican clergy are Licensed Marriage Celebrants of the Republic of Cyprus. You do not need an additional civil ceremony prior to a wedding by the Anglican Church of Paphos. The marriage service is similar to that of the Church of England and is recognised in British law as a valid marriage.
It is advisable to arrive in Cyprus at least 3 or 4 days before your wedding. To ensure a relaxed build up to their special day most couples allow a week. During this time a meeting is arranged with the officiating Priest (wedding chaplain), the organist (if required) and our vergers to discuss all the details of your service and to check your legal documentation is complete. Everyone is happy to provide advice about the nature and content of your wedding service if you still have questions.
Prior to this meeting feel free to contact our Anglican Church Wedding Coordinator Amanda McCusker with any queries you may have (be aware that this position is a part time post so an e-mail may be preferable to a phone call).
