FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

Do I have to be from a state/country where same sex marriage is illegal?

A:

No. You can be from anywhere! We felt it was important to open the door to ALL couples, but particularly those that may not have the ability to get married in their respective states/provinces/countries.

Q:

Do I have had to meet my partner on ManCrunch.com?

A:

Nope. This opportunity is open to anyone who is interested. However, we hope that ManCrunch.com's success continues to grow and that next year all the couples will have met through ManCrunch.com! Until then, we appreciate your continued support.

Q:

Will the marriage be recognized back home?

A:

This varies according to your state/province/country. Please check with your lawyer and/or local government. You should know that if your home state/province/country/etc. recognizes your marriage, there may be various legal implications that go along with it (i.e. tax treatment, support obligations, division of assets etc.) You should speak with your lawyer about these consequences before getting married.

Q:

How much does it cost?

A:

The cost for the marriage license in Canada will be covered by ManCrunch. In some cases, ManCrunch will cover the costs of your travel and accommodation. (See Question #11, below) Otherwise, you will be responsible for all costs associated with your attendance at this event.

Q:

Do I have to apply for a marriage license?

A:

Yes. The selected couples will come to Toronto on Thursday, July 1 2010. We will escort them to Toronto City Hall on Friday, July 2 2010 where they will submit their documents together. We will provide you with the application form prior to your trip to Toronto.

Q:

What if I am already married, but want to renew my vows on the float?

A:

Absolutely! Just specify this in your submission email.

Q:

Do I need a passport?

A:

Yes! As of June 1, 2009, everyone from every country arriving in Canada by air, land and sea needs a passport or equivalent travel document. Please visit Citizenship and Immigration Canada's website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index.asp for further information.

• A birth certificate or passport and one piece of photo identification such as a driver's licence or health card
• Written parental consent if under 18 years of age
• Proof of divorce if divorced in Canada or any other country (certified final proof)

Q:

My partner is from another country, is that okay?

For marriage purposes, yes. You do not need to be a Canadian citizen to be married here. Please see Question #3 for questions about whether your marriage will be recognized back home. However, travel requirements may be different depending on where your partner is coming from.

A:

Travel and accommodations will be provided to those who live further than 100 kilometers of the Greater Toronto Area. This does not include food/beverage expenses.

What if I want to bring family/friends to the ceremony?

If you wish to do so, the travel/accommodation arrangements will need to be made by you. We can provide the hotel information where you will be staying.
