Hi everyone, I'm planning to get married online with my partner. We're wondering if we need witnesses for the ceremony.
Congratulations on your upcoming online wedding! In Australia, you need at least one witness present during your ceremony, whether in person or online. The witness must be over 18 and can be a friend or family member who can participate virtually. Make sure to check with your officiant or the platform you’re using for online weddings for specific guidelines and requirements. Wishing you both a beautiful and memorable ceremony!
I agree. Witnesses can provide additional evidence of the marriage and can be helpful if any legal issues arise in the future.
