Intent to marry requirements

    Hi, this is kind of a long shot but wondering if anyone can help.

    Was planning to get married at the end of the year. It's been a tough year and my partner suggested maybe we get married in July when our friend's are home visiting from being abroad a long time. Very small number of people (15 or so) humanist to officiate and possibly an outdoor ceremony and stay at a hotel.

    The problem is with the intent to marry. It's less than 3 months away that we would like to try for (which they require) Is there any way they allow shorter notice applications or any alternative?

    You can get a court exemption.

    http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/bdm/MarriagesinIreland/Court Exemptions.html

    In certain special circumstances, for example, in the case of very serious illness, you may be able to get a Court Exemption Order allowing the marriage to proceed without the 3 months notification. You should contact either the Circuit Family Court or the High Court in the area in which either of you lives for details on how to proceed.

    This is an informal procedure. You may apply in person (without hiring a solicitor). There is no court charge for an application for a Court Exemption Order. However, if you hire a solicitor to represent you, you will have to pay him/her. The court will require you to show:

    that there are good reasons for your application
    that the granting of such an Exemption Order is in the best interests of the parties to the intended marriage.
    If you are granted a Court Exemption Order, you still have to make arrangements to meet the Registrar at least 5 days before you get married in order to make the declaration. This is required before a Marriage Registration Form can be issued.
