1. The Big Debate: Agency vs. DIY ⚖️ 1: Getting Started — DIY vs. Agency & Paperwork https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCA7ESnylHE&list=PLPTUDqL0PL7Psufhr8NP7bX4YnKR26BB7&index=2 Flying Solo (The DIY Route): If you’re not in a rush and want to keep your budget lean, you can handle the application yourself directly through the official portal. • 💰 The Bottom Line: You’ll only pay the government fee (approx. €280). • ⚠️ The Catch: If your scans are blurry or you forget to "prove your love" (think: joint tickets or photos), the authorities will hit pause. This can add weeks of waiting to your countdown. Bringing in the Pros (The Agency Route): Agencies aren’t just for people who hate paperwork; they’re for people who value their sanity. They pre-screen your docs and snag "hidden" slots at popular City Halls. • 🌟 The Experience Factor: There are many agencies in Denmark, and they offer vastly different worlds of experience. Some are masters of the streamlined, classic process—perfect for those who value efficiency and elegance. Others turn a legal appointment into a full-blown adventure, from authentic Viking-themed ceremonies to saying your vows on breathtaking, windswept beaches. If you’re not sure which agency fits your vibe, I’m always happy to recommend my most trusted partners who I know will take perfect care of you!

Usually, you’ll just need: ✈️ Valid Passports 🛂 Proof of legal stay in country of residence and in Denmark (Visa or Residence Permit) 💍 Proof of Marital Status 📜 Divorce Decree (if you’ve been down this road before) Note: Everything needs to be in English, German, or Danish 🌍 To Sum Up: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0dd826_5d4e6d3920d9489c86fb87184e3549a1~mv2.png 3. The Green Light: Your Marriage License ✅ Everything goes through the Familieretshuset (the Danish Agency of Family Law). Once they approve you, you’re golden. • ⏳ The Clock is Ticking: Your license is valid for 4 months. • 🗓️ The Wait: Expect anywhere from 5 days to a few weeks. • ➡️ Apply here (https://familieretshuset.dk/familieretshuset/en/your-life-situation/your-life-situation/international-marriages/)(if you’re feeling brave enough for DIY).   ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: "Start your search early, even before your paperwork is ready! The best creative teams get booked out months in advance. While a photographer, videographer, or makeup artist can’t officially lock in your spot without a confirmed date, reaching out now puts you on our radar. Once your license arrives and we have that date, we can move fast to secure your booking and start scouting those perfect, secret locations for you!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8scEjibGWmY&list=PLPTUDqL0PL7Psufhr8NP7bX4YnKR26BB7&index=3 Once your application is approved, the fun part begins: choosing your Kommune (municipality). Denmark offers a stunning variety of settings for your "I do." Whether you dream of a vibrant city vibe, a fairytale island, or a quiet historic town, the key is matching the location with your personal style and travel preferences. 1. Copenhagen:(https://www.beinlens.com/post/copenhagen-city-hall-elopement) Urban Grandeur & Ultimate Ease The perfect choice for couples who value time, style, and a vibrant city atmosphere. • The Logistics: God-Tier. From Copenhagen Airport (CPH), you are only 13–15 minutes from the city center by metro or train. • The Perks: • Options for Every Budget: From street food at Reffen to Michelin-starred magic. • Apostille "Next Door": The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is right here. You can often get your legal stamp within an hour of your ceremony - no mailing required! • Visual Variety: Royal palaces, the iconic Nyhavn, and sleek modern architecture all in one walk. 2. Roskilde:(https://www.beinlens.com/post/roskilde-wedding-photographer-guide-a-mix-of-vikings-royalty-and-romance) Royal History & Viking Spirit For those who want ancient Danish soul without traveling far from the capital. • The Logistics: Just a 20-minute train ride from Copenhagen Central Station. • The Perks: • UNESCO Heritage: Imagine photos with the magnificent Roskilde Cathedral in the background. • Waterfront Charm: The Viking Ship Museum and the harbor offer a stunning, historic maritime backdrop for your couple’s session. 3. Elsinore (Helsingør):(https://www.beinlens.com/post/a-fairytale-setting-with-a-wedding-photographer-in-helsingør-elsinore) Coastal Romance & Hamlet’s Castle Ideal for couples who want a "boutique" town feel with a view of the sea. • The Logistics: A 45-minute journey by train. This is famously one of Denmark’s most scenic routes, running right along the coast. • The Perks: • The "Hamlet" Factor: Get married in the shadow of Kronborg Castle (UNESCO). • Walkability: The town is intimate, artistic, and very easy to navigate on foot, making for a relaxed, stress-free day. 4. Stevns Klint:(https://www.beinlens.com/post/picking-the-perfect-spot-for-stevns-klint-wedding) Dramatic Nature & Secluded Beauty  For the wild at heart and lovers of the great outdoors. • The Logistics: Reachable by train/bus, but I highly recommend renting a car. It turns your day into a beautiful road trip through the Danish countryside and gives you access to hidden gems along the coast. • The Perks: • UNESCO White Cliffs: Spectacular 41-meter-high cliffs overlooking the Baltic Sea. • Intimate Exclusivity: Locations like the Old Church (Højerup) offer a level of quiet intimacy and "organic" beauty that is hard to find in the city. • Critical Pro-Tip: Bring comfortable shoes! Navigating these limestone cliffs in stilettos is a disaster waiting to happen. Wear sneakers or flats for the walk, and only change into your wedding heels once we’ve reached the perfect photo spot. Your feet (and your safety!) will thank you. 5. Odense: Storybook Charm & Modern Scalability The perfect choice if you want fairytale aesthetics with great logistical availability. • The Logistics: A fast 1 hour and 20-minute train ride from Copenhagen. Many couples also choose to rent a car to explore the surrounding island of Fyn. • The Perks: • The Fairytale Home: As the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, the town feels like it’s pulled straight from a storybook. • Scalability: Odense Town Hall has fantastic availability, making it a reliable and welcoming option even for busier seasons. 6. Ærø: Magical Intimacy & Time-Honored Charm The ultimate "getaway" for a truly once-in-a-lifetime island experience. • The Logistics: An adventure in itself! The best way is by car and ferry. The ferry ride is a peaceful transition from the "real world" into island time. • The Perks: • Pure "Hygge": Ærø is consistently voted the most romantic island in Denmark. Its cobblestone streets and colorful houses are a dream for photography. • Absolute Escape: It offers a sense of peace and "exclusive" magic that you can only find on an island. It’s where time stands still. ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: When it comes to picking your location, my best advice is to stay open-hearted and flexible. In the world of international weddings, sometimes the location chooses you. Whether you’ve picked a specific town hall for its unique vibe, or you’re securing a precious "available window" that fits your timeline, trust that you are in good hands. Denmark is unique because every single town hall — from the bustling urban centers to the quietest island escapes — takes immense pride in making your ceremony feel personal and sincere. No matter where you say "I do," my mission is to find the light, the soul, and the beauty of your specific day.  Travel Planner’s Toolkit To make your journey as smooth as a Danish pastry, save these resources: • Rejseplanen:(https://www.rejseplanen.dk) The "Bible" of Danish transport. It combines trains, buses, and metros in one place. • DSB:(https://www.dsb.dk) For booking train tickets across the country. • Ærøfærgerne:(https://www.aeroe-ferry.dk/en/) Essential for checking ferry times to Ærø Island. Official Tourism Guides: • VisitDenmark:(https://www.visitdenmark.com) The ultimate guide to the entire country. • VisitCopenhagen:(https://www.visitcopenhagen.com) Everything about the capital city. • VisitRoskilde:(https://www.visitfjordlandet.dk/en) A guide to the ancient capital and the fjords. • VisitHelsingør:(https://www.visitnorthsealand.com/north-sealand/cities-and-areas/helsingor) Hamlet’s hometown and the beautiful north coast. • VisitStevns:(https://www.visitstevns.dk/en) All about the white cliffs and UNESCO heritage. • VisitFyn:(https://www.visitfyn.com) Castles, gardens, and the world of Hans Christian Andersen. • VisitÆrø:(https://www.visitaeroe.com) Your gateway to the world's favorite wedding island. ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: "Think about your guests! If they are flying in on the morning of the wedding, Copenhagen or Roskilde are your best friends. If it’s just the two of you eloping, Stevns Klint offers a level of intimacy and epic scenery that a city can't match." 5. Timing is Everything: When to Say "I Do"? 🗓️ Technically, there is no "off-season" for love in Denmark. Couples arrive year-round, but each season brings a completely different vibe to your photos and logistics. The Golden Rule of Danish Weather 🌤️ No matter the month, Denmark is almost always windy. Even in the height of summer, a light breeze is your constant wedding guest. • Spring & Summer (The "Bare Shoulders" Era): This is the only time you can realistically skip the stockings and wear an open-back dress. The light is endless (it stays bright until 10:00 PM!), giving us plenty of time for different photo locations. • Autumn & Spring (The Photographer's Favorite): The "shoulder" months are a secret gem. The main tourist wave has crashed, leaving the streets (and my lens) clear. The quality of light in October and April is something truly otherworldly—soft, golden, and perfect for skin tones. • Winter (The "Hygge" Survival Guide): Winter weddings aren't a "sentence"—they are an aesthetic! Think flickering candles, warm wool blankets, and festive lights. • The Sunset Alert: Since it gets dark around 15:00 (3 PM in the winter), we must plan your photo session before the late ceremony to catch the daylight. • Dress Code: Think layers! A stylish bridal coat or a faux-fur wrap isn't just a fashion statement; it's a necessity. To Sum Up: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0dd826_b4ff50fbc7404fd3ab8b7682120fb809~mv2.png ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: "If you’re dreaming of those iconic Nyhavn photos without a thousand tourists in the background, consider an April or October wedding. You get the best of both worlds: stunning light and the feeling that the city belongs only to you."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYCmLDOattU&list=PLPTUDqL0PL7Psufhr8NP7bX4YnKR26BB7&index=4 Since you are eloping in a foreign country, your vendors aren't just "service providers"- they are your local support system. Here is how to pick the people who will have your back. 1. Photographer: Pro vs. iPhone? 🤳 You might think, "Can’t we just use a tripod and a smartphone?" Technically, yes. But here is why a local pro is your secret wedding weapon: • Stress Levels: From Panic to Peace 🧘 Going the Selfie Route means you’re the director, the tech support, and the couple all at once. Instead of lost in a kiss, you’ll be lost in your phone settings, worrying if the timer actually went off. With a Local Pro, your stress level is zero. You just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest while you enjoy the moment. • Location Intel: Crowds vs. Secret Gems 🗺️ Without a local guide, you’ll likely follow the GPS straight to the most crowded tourist spots like Nyhavn. You’ll be fighting for a square inch of space against hundreds of other people. A Local Pro knows the city’s heartbeat; we’ll lead you to those quiet, "secret" alleys and hidden courtyards where the tourists don't go, giving you the intimacy your day deserves. • Timing: Guesswork vs. A Masterplan ⏱️ Planning your own shoot involves a lot of guesswork - when is the light best? How long does it take to get from the City Hall to the water? A Local Pro provides a masterplan. We account for the specific Danish light, the best transport routes, and the exact timing of your ceremony to ensure everything flows perfectly. • The Result: Phone Snaps vs. Professional Mastery 🖼️ The biggest risk of the Selfie Route is that phone sensors struggle with "real life." A Local Pro brings high-end gear and years of experience. Whether it’s a dark, moody City Hall corridor, a sudden Danish rain shower, or tricky midday sun, we know how to master the light. You aren’t just getting "files"; you're getting high-end art—heirloom memories that look breathtaking regardless of the weather or the room. To Sum Up: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0dd826_3e95eefe254e4cd7b7cde32513ac1639~mv2.png ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: "Think of it this way: your hotel stay lasts a few nights, dinner is over in an hour, and the dress eventually goes back into its bag. Only your photos and videos stay with you forever. Don’t compromise on your memories - they are the only thing that truly appreciates in value over time! Think of your photographer as your unofficial coordinator. Book us early - we’ll help polish your timeline and find the best light before you commit to a ceremony time!" 2. The Finishing Touches: MUA & Flowers 💄💐 Finding the right artists from a distance doesn't have to be a guessing game. Here is how to build your glam team: • How to Scout: * Instagram: Search hashtags like #CopenhagenMakeupArtist or #DenmarkWeddingFlorist. Also, check the "tagged" photos on wedding agency profiles to see real results. • Ask the Pros: Your agency or photographer (me!) can give you a shortlist of vetted, reliable professionals we work with all the time. Floral Checklist: ·        The 2-Week Rule: Order a fresh bouquet at least 14 days in advance so the florist can secure your specific blooms. ·        Rent on the Spot: 💡 Pro-Tip: Some City Halls (like Copenhagen) offer the option to rent a beautiful silk flower bouquet directly at the registry office. It’s stress-free and looks great in photos! ·        Bring Your Own: You are more than welcome to bring your own bouquet from home—whether it’s fresh, high-quality artificial silk, or a trendy dried flower arrangement. ·        The Weekend Trap: ⚠️ Important: Many florists in Denmark are closed on Sundays and Mondays. If your wedding is early in the week, coordinate your pickup for Saturday! Why Professionalism is Your Best Investment Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. When planning from afar, a local expert isn’t a luxury - they’re your lifeline. Having the right team in your corner is the difference between a day of stressful "what-ifs" and the absolute certainty that you’re in safe hands. While cutting costs with a DIY or budget approach is tempting, only an expert guarantees quality. Hiring a professional is an investment in certainty - ensuring a high-quality result and the peace of mind that your day will run smoothly, no matter what happens. How to spot a "Gold Standard" partner: - A Reputation Tested by Time: Look for years of Google reviews (https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=94c092591444690d&hl=en-GB&authuser=1&sxsrf=ANbL-n5QZP2X5kZUovNiFrF5nTJiFsLC8w:1770368098265&si=AL3DRZEsmMGCryMMFSHJ3StBhOdZ2-6yYkXd_doETEE1OR-qOY5K_wFUQc2cVizTJJv05OV9mqNYquv0GNXQG07lFD-B1Vi7gsBHGCmYj2ibq3qYfeWwSQ_VBTE_7-0Dz4jEN9xnIG2ROOZkn-PFqxXExxkoyqSvcLENavErmVugeD-TxD3fkIY%3D&q=Be+In+Lens+Photography+%26+Videography+Reviews&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiZ7viMv8SSAxU4SPEDHeiBAbYQ0bkNegQIJxAF&biw=1994&bih=1019&dpr=1.25)and direct recommendations from wedding partners. In this business, long-term experience and trust from other pros are the best proof of quality. - Transparency and Clarity: A true professional provides a high-end website with crystal-clear pricing (https://www.beinlens.com/wedprices)and a comprehensive breakdown of their services. No guessing games, no “DM sent” prices, just clarity. - Up-to-Date Portfolio: Look for a portfolio (web-site,(https://www.beinlens.com/weddings) Instagram)(https://www.instagram.com/be_in_lens) that has remained consistent and high-quality over at least the last year. This is your guarantee that the stunning results you see in their gallery are exactly what you will receive. - A True Full-Time Professional: Choose someone for whom this is not a side project, but their livelihood. Full-time professionals take their reputation seriously, invest continuously in their craft, and deliver with consistency because their name — and future — depends on it.

4: Logistics & Guests — The Survival Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYFPxH0gSPg&list=PLPTUDqL0PL7Psufhr8NP7bX4YnKR26BB7&index=5 Planning a wedding is one thing, but managing guests in a foreign city is another. Here is how to keep everyone moving, luggage-free, and entertained while you focus on each other. 1. The Transit Sprint: From Runway to Registry ✈️ If your guests are flying in on the morning of the ceremony, every minute counts. • The Secret: Skip the Uber or Taxi. • The Pro Move: Take the Metro or Train from Copenhagen Airport (CPH). It’s cheaper, faster, and perfectly predictable. In just 13–15 minutes, your guests will be in the heart of Copenhagen. They can be at the City Hall within an hour of touchdown! 2. The Bag Dilemma: Where to Stash the Suitcases? 🧳 Nothing ruins a wedding photo like a giant suitcase in the background. If your hotel isn't ready for check-in, you have two great local solutions: • The Central Station Lockers: If you are arriving by train, you can use the traditional luggage lockers at Copenhagen Central Station (Hovedbanegården). It’s a classic, reliable choice right in the heart of the city. • LuggageHero (The Flexible Life-Saver): If the station is out of your way, use LuggageHero.(http://www.luggagehero.com) How LuggageHero Works: 1. Find a Spot: Pick a drop-off point (a cafe, hotel, or shop) closest to the City Hall or our photoshoot location. 2. Book for Free: Pay only when you actually store your bags. 3. Secure It: Upon arrival, they apply a unique security seal to your bag. 4. Insurance: Each bag is insured for up to €2,400 (18,000 DKK), giving your guests total peace of mind. 3. "What Do We Do With the Guests?" 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Your guests don’t need to follow us through the entire photo session. Here’s how to give them a great time while we get those epic shots: • The Classic Canal Tour: In cities like Copenhagen, send them on a boat tour. It’s affordable, relaxing, and offers the best views of the city without any walking. 🚤 • The Pastry Break: Danish bakeries are world-famous. Point them toward the nearest Bageri for some coffee and Smørrebrød. It’s the perfect way to recharge after the ceremony. ☕🥨 • Local Experts: If you want them to have a guided experience, search for local guides on ToursByLocals (https://www.toursbylocals.com)or Withlocals.(https://www.withlocals.com) You can find experts who speak your language and can tailor a 1-hour "Wedding Guest Tour." • The Cozy Option: If the weather is "Danish" (rainy/windy), they can simply stay warm inside the beautiful halls of the City Hall or Municipality. 🏛️ To Sum Up: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0dd826_e5ecd5b73050487f91bdfd244934a6ac~mv2.png ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: "The best gift you can give your guests (and yourselves) is a clear plan. Send them the LuggageHero link and the Canal Tour location in advance. Once they know they have a place for their bags and a boat to catch, they'll relax - leaving you free to enjoy your photoshoot without worrying about anyone else!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT3TyC4AWyI&list=PLPTUDqL0PL7Psufhr8NP7bX4YnKR26BB7&index=6 How you plan your morning and your movement through the city determines the "vibe" of your entire day. Here is how to make it seamless. 1. The Morning Prep: Setting the Stage ☕💄 • The Room Matters: If you want "getting ready" photos, book a room with large windows and high ceilings. Danish hotels can be notoriously snug—space and natural light are critical for those airy, editorial shots. • The 80% Rule: Invite me to start shooting when your hair is done and your makeup is about 80% complete. This way, we skip the "sleepy robe" phase and capture the most beautiful part of the transformation without needing hours of coverage. • Details First: Gather your jewelry, perfume, stationery, or sentimental items (like a lucky charm or a family heirloom) in one spot. I can photograph these while you’re finishing your glam. • The Groom's Side: I usually spend more time with the bride. Prep for the groom is often just "suit on, teeth brushed," and let’s be honest—most men prefer being in the frame only when their better half is by their side! • The "First Look" Strategy: This is one of the most emotional highlights of your day, so don't leave it to chance. Decide in advance where this moment will happen: In a Hotel: If your room is small, consider meeting in the grand hotel lobby or a quiet hallway with beautiful architecture. In an Apartment/House: Look for a spacious living room with the most natural light. If staying in the room: Prepare the stage! Clear a dedicated space that is completely clutter-free. You don’t want an open suitcase, a stray towel, or charging cables in the background of your most romantic, tearful memory. • Fuel Up: Don't survive on dopamine alone! Eat a real breakfast. The adrenaline will carry you through the ceremony, but you’ll need energy for the photoshoot. And yes, washing down your breakfast with a glass of champagne is highly encouraged! 2. At the City Hall: What to Expect 🏛️ • The Timing: Arrive 15–30 minutes early. Most municipalities require a quick document check the day before (or the Friday before a Monday wedding). • Don't Forget: Keep your passports or IDs handy. Some municipalities ask for them right before you enter the room. • The Ceremony: It’s short and sweet (5–15 minutes). The registrars often write their own speeches, making the moment surprisingly personal. • Vows: If you want to exchange personal vows, just let them know in advance. Keep them under 5 minutes so the schedule stays on track for the next couple! • The Paperwork: You will receive two copies of your certificate in 5 languages. • ⚠️ Critical: Check the spelling of your names and the date immediately. Mistakes happen! It’s much easier to fix a typo on the spot than from another country. • Fun Fact: Don't panic if your "Country of Birth" looks strange. Countries are written in Danish (e.g., Tyskland for Germany, Storbritannien for the UK).   3. The Witness Rule: Who Signs the Registry? ✍️ By Danish law, every wedding ceremony requires two witnesses to be officially recognized. But don’t let this add to your to-do list—here is how it works: The Stress-Free Option (Copenhagen City Hall): If you’re marrying at the Copenhagen City Hall, they typically provide two official witnesses for you (usually Monday through Saturday) free of charge. It’s seamless and built into their service. The "Plan Ahead" Communes & Islands: Many smaller municipalities or popular island locations (like Ærø) often require couples to bring their own witnesses. The same applies if you’ve chosen an outdoor ceremony on a beach or in a park—in these cases, providing witnesses is your responsibility. The Elopement Solution: If it’s just the two of you, don't panic! You have two wonderful options: • I’ve got your back: I am always more than happy to be one of your witnesses and sign the registry for you. • The "Loveswept" Tradition: For the second signature, it is a heartwarming Danish tradition to ask a friendly passerby or another couple waiting in line. It’s a beautiful way to connect with the local community and adds a unique, spontaneous layer to your wedding story.   4. The Photoshoot: Quality Over Quantity 📸 Don't try to visit every landmark in Denmark in one hour. You’ll end up sweaty, tired, and rushed. • The "Two-Location" Rule: Pick two distinct but nearby spots (e.g., historic architecture + a green park, or the harbor + cozy cobblestone streets). • Keep it Local: This gives you variety in your gallery without the stress of cross-town travel. You want to spend your time kissing and laughing, not sitting in a taxi or running in heels. • Add "Life" to the Shots: Grab a hot dog from a street kiosk, a "To-Go" Aperol, or a coffee. These little "real life" moments make your photos feel authentic and relaxed.   To Sum Up: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0dd826_78d72fab745243b4b8a5adef9e0ea9c4~mv2.png        ✨ Elena’s Insider Advice: "Your wedding day should feel like a date, not a marathon. If we spend 45 minutes to an hour on portraits at two great locations, you’ll get a diverse, beautiful gallery while keeping your energy high for the celebration ahead!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3XKVHupQSo&list=PLPTUDqL0PL7Psufhr8NP7bX4YnKR26BB7&index=7 Your ceremony is over, the photos are stunning - now it’s time to celebrate and make sure your marriage is recognized worldwide. 1. The Wedding Dinner: "Social Dining" & Beyond 🍽️ Denmark is a culinary capital. The popular concept here is "Social Dining" (sharing plates and a vibrant atmosphere). • Pro-Tip: Book your table at least 4–8 weeks in advance, especially for Thursday–Saturday slots. Top Recommendations by Location: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0dd826_fe2d83fb991a4de5bc07152d4aa84f9f~mv2.png 2. Legalization: The Apostille (The Final Stamp) 📜 An Apostille confirms that the signature on your Danish marriage certificate is authentic. You can only request it after the wedding. Option A: In-Person (Fastest) Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Udenrigsministeriet) in Copenhagen. • Process: It takes about 10–15 minutes. • Cost: Approx. 200 DKK per stamp. • How to Book: You must book a time slot in advance via the official Legalisation Webshop.(https://um.dk/en/travel-and-residence/legalisation-frontpage) Don't just show up; they strictly follow the appointment schedule! Option B: By Mail (For the Patient) If you are leaving Denmark immediately, you can send your original certificates by post. • Process: Buy a "Return Postage" cover in the Webshop. Send your certificates to the Ministry, and they will mail them back to your home address. This usually takes 1–2 weeks Option C: E-Apostille (The Modern Way) Denmark now offers a digital Apostille. • Process: You apply online, and they verify the digital signature of the registrar. • Important: Check if your home country accepts E-Apostilles. Many do (like the USA or UK), but some still require the physical paper and ink stamp. 🛠️ Final Checklist Before You Fly: 1. Check the Names: Did you double-check the spelling on your certificates at the City Hall? 2. ID/Passports: Do you have your original documents? 3. Booking: Did you secure your Apostille appointment? 4. Luggage: Did you remember to pick up your bags from the storage? ✨ Elena’s Closing Thought: "Denmark makes it easy to get married, but it’s the small details - the right light, the warm pastry, the stress-free logistics - that make it a wedding. I can’t wait to be the one to capture your first day as a married couple!"
