Blessing
Some couples choose to have the civil wedding on their country and then celebrate with their family and friends in Portugal in a symbolic ceremony.
This is also a very romantic way for the couple to celebrate love.

Legal documents are not necessary, there is no wedding permit issued and most important, it gives the couple a sense of absolute independence, since it can be held everywhere.
