Hello,
I am getting married in Dakar Senegal in January. My fiance is originally from there but was living in France the past few years. We will be going to Dakar to get married but I really do not understand the process. Number one what is a" bans" and how do we post them? secondly, we just want to have a civil ceremony at the town hall. Do I need to reserve a time to get married or do they preform civil services on certain days/ hours? Any help would be great !
Thanks!
Getting married in Dakar Senegal.

Hi Emily,
Congratulations!!
I moved your topic on the Dakar forum. Hopefully expats who got married in Senegal/Dakar can share their experience with you.
All the best,

@ Emily9620 :
Its so nice that you came back after these years to see if nikkilee05 has been married or not. 
Unfortunately, she disappeared from Expat.com 2 years ago and i am not sure that you will get a feedback soon.
If you want to interact with active members, do not hesitate to create new topics or to participate to more active threads.
