Sadly, if you are not a resident of the Maldives it is not actually possible for you to legally marry there. However, that does not mean that the Maldives does not make a fantastic destination to renew your vows or to celebrate a symbolic wedding blessing.
Therefore, if you formally marry in the UK, it can feel like a wedding when you have the non-legal symbolic blessing on the beach in the Maldives. Perfect!
