Plan a wedding abroad with a documents checklist

A wedding abroad is romantic until paperwork bites. Get a decisions checklist and official pages to check — not legal advice.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help plan a wedding abroad checklist.

Destination: [country]
Rough dates: [details]
Guests roughly: [n]
Already booked: [venue/none]
Nationalities: [details]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Big decisions in order.
2. Documents/legal items to verify — each marked check on GOV.UK and the destination's official marriage guidance.
3. Guest travel considerations.
4. A timeline back from the date.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. Rules change, so don't state entry, visa or passport rules as certain — mark each 'check' and point me to GOV.UK foreign travel advice (and the passport/renew pages) so I confirm myself. This is planning help, not immigration or travel insurance advice. UK English.

For GOV.UK guidance on getting married abroad, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. country: a short note you already have. details: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
