2 enqueries about spain please

scooper

i have posted before about getting married and we have now decided because of my mum not being able to fly to get married nearer to home,somewhere where they can drive to,maybe spain.
first thing is i would like to know if anyone has got married in spain,when, where,any reccomendations?as there doesnt seem to be any tour operators that do marriges packages.
the other question was like i said my parents will probably be driving over so any advice on that really?so the resort i will be married will have to be somewhere where they can drive to relativily easy
thanks

spain would be a very long drive....how about france?

scooper

yes maybe that might be a better idea i suppose,i would like a wedding on a beach.
i have gone from wanting to get married in barbados to having as well as wanting my parents there so if i could find a nice place then it would be good
any suggestions as i dont know france at all?

They could sail to Santander or Bilbao, on the North coast of Spain, from Portsmouth/Plymouth.
Galicia is very pleasant and quiet (but sometimes rainy)

scooper

not to sure about the rainy bit
we live in cheshire so the easiest route from there really.my dad is a uk tank driver so he will maybe know the best way to go about it.
i still want the beach wedding really

what about a cruise then? might be able to get married on a liner and it'd almost be a beach wedding and you wouldn't have to worry about where to go as you'll be going to a few places.

You can get wedding packages to Jersey. The Island is beautiful and so much to see and do. You can go by Ferry or fly.

scooper

thanks fabwitch
any suggestions?
we are having such a hard time deciding where to go because of my parents,i dont mean to make that sound bad,but it has to be close enough where they can 'drive' to.
im looking into the south of france as well

Don't think it is very easy to get wed in Spain...most of the ex-pats who want to tie the knot go to Gibraltar.

scooper

yes i have just been reading about all that,its very compicated,thats another reason why we are thinking of changing destination.
