So I know this might be a request that nobody knows how to answer. But I am stifling to figure it out so I thought it couldn’t hurt.
My fiancé is a German citizen and we are going there over Christmas. We have a wedding planned in the us for May but wanted to elope during our Germany trip to have a special time that is just us before the big even in May.
To get married legally in Germany it is a lot of paperwork and hoops to jump through since I’m American only.
Does anyone know if we get an American marriage license, could we sign it and have an officiant do the ceremony in Germany?
