Go to Canada and get married there, it is a lot easier.
That's what we did.
Your boyfriend won't need any special paperwork as you will here in Germany.

Exactly what I was going to say. I got married in NS and when I went to city hall to get the paperwork done, all they needed was my wife's name. No paperwork or anything. At the actual Justice of the Peace I think all she needed was one form of ID - a passport I believe. All told it took 5 days from City Hall to we were married. Could even have been as short as 2 days, but we needed to get rings made.
My wife was amazed and said it would never have been so simple in Germany.
Cheers, Angus

. oh, if you're coming back to Germany, you'll need the marriage certificate 'translated(?)'. We went to the German Consulate in Halifax ("Honorary German Consulate Jim McLeod Smile, open Thursday afternoons or by appointment Very Happy Very Happy) and he stamped the paperwork which we had to show the Amt für Öffentlicheordnung in Germany.
