Anyone marry overseas AFTER moving to Aus?

Hi,

I'm English (now an AUS citizen) looking to marry my Dutch (PR) girlfriend in The Netherlands. I was wondering if anyone on here has had experience of the application process. There's guidelines online but I'm finding it a bit overwhelming.

We both have a NO RECORDS RESULT cert from the Victorian Births, Marriages and Death dept. Now, we have to send that to the DFAT in Canberra...and here's where I get confused because I don't know what else they want and whether my UK birth certificate is relevant to them, the Dutch Consulate, or if I have to get it signed in the UK.

Any relevant advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,

We tried to get married overseas and in the end, we gave up because the paperwork seemed almost impossible to get right. 

In the end, we got legally married in Sydney, then went overseas and had a "wedding" ceremony which was actually just a blessing ceremony.  I'm glad we did it that way, because we were married by a celebrant in a park in Sydney with all our Aussie friends, which turned into a great party, and then we still had the whole ceremony overseas with our family - and it was a lot less stress!
