Hollywood lovers, heartthrob Lawrence Harvey and Margaret Leighton were one of the first high profile couples to say 'I do' in Gibraltar. In 1962 as the world became entranced by the numbers 007, screen hero Sean Connery married actress Diane Cilento. Sadly, this marriage was not to last but Connery's affection for Gibraltar did as he returned in 1975 to marry his present wife Micheline Boglio Roquebrune. However, it is the marriage of Beatle John Lennon to Yoko Ono in 1969 that caused the biggest media sensation!!

Today hundreds of couples are travelling to Gibraltar to get married, choosing to follow in the footsteps of Sir Sean Connery, John Lennon and Yoko Ono and get married on the Rock. There are no residency restrictions and in theory you can get married with just 24 hours notice. However, as Gibraltar is a popular location for getting married it is wise to plan well in advance.

Local marriage law does not contain any residential requirements and so therefore it is a simple procedure, also a Gibraltar marriage is recognised world-wide. To get married at Gibraltar's registry office you will need to present yourself at the registry at least 24 hours before you wish to get married.
