Planning a destination wedding

Same-sex couples can now legally marry in 38 countries, from Mexico (nationwide since 2022) and Taiwan to Thailand, which became the first in Southeast Asia in January 2025. That list keeps growing, but legal marriage abroad usually means foreign paperwork, translations and waiting periods.

The easiest route

Plenty of couples sign the legal papers at home, then have the ceremony that matters to them somewhere else. A symbolic wedding can happen anywhere, with no residency rules, no translations and no stress about recognition.

Choosing a safe destination

Laws and attitudes change from country to country, and sometimes within them. Check current resources like ILGA World and Equaldex and your government’s travel advice before you book, and talk to your vendors. Everyone here has been vetted to be affirming, so ask them about the local scene.

Where couples are saying yes

Our couples have married in Thailand, partied in the Tulum jungle and celebrated in Bali. Honeymoon dreaming? Start with our guide to LGBTQ+ honeymoons in Tulum.

Questions couples ask

How many countries allow same-sex marriage?

As of 2026, 38 countries have marriage equality, including Thailand, which became the first in Southeast Asia in January 2025.

Will a marriage abroad be recognized at home?

Usually, if it’s legal where it took place and your home country has marriage equality. Rules vary, so check with your home country first.

Do we need to legally marry in our destination country?
