How does a foreigner get married in Ethiopia to an Ethiopian?

Fiona2305

I am a British national wanting to marry my Ethiopian Fiancé soon.

What documents are needed for the wedding?
Do they need to be legalised?
Do I need a CNI from my country?
What procedure do I need to do after to get a resident card for Ethiopia?
Has anyone gone through this?

Please can someone help me and give me information, I am finding it so difficult to find information that is accurate.
Thank you so much in advance!!!
