A bridal couple who appeared too late at the registry office in the south of France had to pay a fine of 200 euros. It was argued by the city that the delay would have affected subsequent weddings and staff working hours.
In addition, the bridal couple signed a code of conduct at registration, which provides for sanctions in the event of delay, cancellation or damage to property in the vicinity of the registry office. The future spouses were 20 minutes late, the newspaper “Nice-Matin” reported on Monday. In Valence in the south of France, a fine was imposed for delay for the first time since October 2022. At that time, the corresponding code was introduced.
Code of conduct in many cities
This now applies in a number of French cities. The main concern of the town halls is to ban excessive wedding celebrations, for example with car parades and other things that can cause disabilities.
