Were ships captains ever allowed to marry people?
My mate has a boat in Tigre and technically he is the captain of the boat .....

Splinter , how would you feel about living in Spain again? Just go through everything their embassy requires. Piece of cake, eh?
No chance. The red tape in Spain is equally as bad.
If I ever moved again, it would back to England where I never, ever had to put up with this kind of bureaucratic bullshit.

Maybe it's time to make a few calls to the UK Embassy and see if you can actually get married there.

Adri has suggested changing our DNI addresses to CABA just for this!

I agree with Adri.

Having driven past the Olivos registry office several times recently and noticed people dressed in wedding outfits milling about outside, this morning I went again - I must be a glutton for punishment?
Policeman at the door as usual who miraculously let me in having told him that no online appointments were available. That was the good news.
I then waited about 30 minutes at the front desk, where employees did a fine job of ignoring me and busy doing fuck-all. In the end I found an opportunity to collar a fat slob and explain my situation, but in the end I might just as well have been talking to my cat, Floyd, from whom I would have got more sense, probably.
The slob insisted on my acquiring an online appointment even when I told him that NONE were available, at which he exclaimed, "What do you expect me to do? Conjure one out of the air?"
His total and utter disregard was mind boggling and so I hit a brick wall.
As I was leaving, I started to talk to a lady waiting behind me who turns out to be an escribana who told that she regularly conducts civil unions which in law have the same standing as marriages.
We're in email contact and I've asked Adri to talk to her, but I feel that a proper marriage would be better (maybe) and that we should still look at CABA or another registry office in Vicente Lopez.
Frustrated doesn't quite cover this bullshit.

I have been looking to book an appointment at the Registro Civil in Olivos to request vital records (online, nothing is coming out for older records), since my husband still has residency at his father's place in Olivos. I have also been looking in San Isidro and San Fernando (where the event likely took place).
However, no appointment is shown, ever. I had read online that a lady was able to get her records in Olivos, after booking an appointment, but when I looked for one it seemed impossible.

Impossible because they want it to remain impossible while they sit there scratching their balls, doing fuck all and getting paid for it.
Fuckers.

You may well have stumbled onto a solution, Splinter . If you had been seeking a church wedding and had to settle for a civil one, that would be one thing. But if there is more than one way to have a legal civil wedding, why not?
In Argentina Church marriages have no civil value. You have to get married in a civil ceremony regardless, and if you want you can do a religious ceremony for you own private beliefs.

Quite right serafina but I think Rice may have been referring to my choice of words.
The alternative I referred to is called a Union Civil in Spanish, which is not a marriage and we wouldn't be man and wife per se. However, it does have the same legal standing.
These civil unions were largely brought about by those of the same sex wishing to protect their rights and the same law came about in the UK. In fact it discriminated against heterosexuals who ended up not having the same rights as homosexuals, but that loophole was sorted in 2016, I believe (UK).

Thanks for explaining. Yes, while I do understand the dual ceremony situation for those who want a church wedding, I didn’t think about the difference between a civil union and what I think we would call a civil wedding.

When I arrived here, I wasn't aware that here they had also the unión civil (civil union) and the unión convivencial (domestic partnership), so I went with the wedding. They are all enough for residency purpose. I don't remember being asked if I wanted a community property marriage or a separate property marriage (this can also be changed subsequently) when we went to the Registro Civil.
For foreigners, it is also important to check the legislation of the country of origin, to ascertain how the civil relationship will be recognized in our home country (if it is recognized).
For example, in Italy we have civil unions and marriages, however the former are exclusively for same-sex couples whereas the latter are exclusively for haeterosexual couples - hence, a foreign gay marriage is transcribed in Italy as a civil union.

We've ditched the civil union arrangement as not being appropriate and are now going to try to get married in CABA.
More to follow...

Well, naturally, however with the threat of a March lockdown, we'll have to move as fast as we can.

Is the threat of a March lockdown because of anticipation of seasonal virus increases?

It's just a hunch really.
