What paperwork needs to be completed

[IrishDancer]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I am getting married soon and provided all the paperwork (or so I thought)to my local church,Birt Certs,letters of freedom,Baptismal Certs,Confirmation Certs,we done the Marriage Course and have also applied for the Licence. We are getting Married in Ireland. I have just been informed by my priest that I have to fill out another form and get it signed by a Solicitor. Can anyone tell me what this is for? My priest wasnt very helpfull when asked!I have yet to pick up the form so I dont know exactly about the content. I have looked online and theres no mention of a solicitors letter etc. If anyone can shed some light on this i'd really appreciate it!

thanks

Blimey - the bureaucratisation of marriage!

Can't help I'm afraid - but when I married we spoke to a baby faced vicar, booked the church, had the banns read and then turned up with friends and got hitched.

Perhaps if you ask a different priest he might be able to explain it more clearly.
