Easy Wedding
Easy Wedding is a wedding agency[1][2] for civil, court, and religious weddings based in the UAE and operating since 2019.[1][3] The company was founded by Florian Ughetto and Liz Nunez to assist in dealing with international marriage laws.
History
Easy Wedding was founded in 2019 by Florian Ughetto from France and Liz Nuñez from Paraguay, a couple residing in the UAE.[4][5] After legally marrying in Georgia in 2019 due to nationality-based legal issues, they created Easy Wedding, assisting other couples struggling with international marriage laws and other legal obstacles to marriage.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
Being an international couple, Florian Ughetto and Liz Nuñez researched the marriage processes in the UAE, and started to help expat couples in the UAE as well as in Georgia, Seychelles, Malta, and online.[12][13]
In 2021, Easy Wedding became the largest wedding agency in the Gulf Cooperation Council, a regional trade bloc in the Middle East comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.[1][14][15]
On May 19, 2022, founders Florian Ughetto and Liz Nuñez chose to marry in the metaverse due to the strict travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic. This event marked them as the first couple in the UAE to wed in a 3D virtual world, specifically on the browser-based platform Decentraland. They bought their wedding outfits as NFTs from the Opensea marketplace, with Liz wearing a virtual white dress and Florian in a personalized black and brown suit.[6][16][17][18][19] The wedding took place simultaneously at three locations – Metaverse, Zoom and The Springs community in Dubai.[20][21]
In August 2024, Easy Wedding publicised a special visa-initiative by the Abu Dhabi government offering visa support for Indian couples planning destination weddings in Abu Dhabi.[22][23][24]
