Ibiza church wedding - problems

[Clara]

Looking to get wed in Ibiza in Summer 2008. As my partner is Catholic, we can legally get married in one of the churches there and having looked into it, there's a Catholic church in Ibiza Town with an English-speaking priest (I'd happily have the ceremony in Spanish but possibly best to get it in English!).

My partner has tried calling them several times but has just got the answerphone so has left a message, each time, in Spanish explaining the situation but nobody has got back to him and we've been leaving messages for weeks now.

Has anyone else tried this successfully? I know I'll need to go out in person beforehand to meet the prist but I'd like to at least make some form of contact before we do in case they're not interested for whatever reason!

sorry to be bearer of bad news but to do it legally you have to be a spanish resident.

But I'd read that if one of you was a practising Catholic, you were able to get married over there.

no, being a catholic enables you to be married in a church.

Hmmm i saw on there its 250 Euros per person. Will that be regardless of how many people go do you think??

Thats not too bad if you consider where it is. I mean you'll be paying that for many places here!

Having said that i'd still only be able to afford about 5 guests!
