Hello Wayne

Nice to hear from you again!

A German citizen that wants to marry abroad usually needs an "Ehefähigkeitszeugnis" (certificate of no impediment). In order to get it, s/he needs to hand in both the passports/ID of the future spouses (and maybe some other documents too, depending on the circumstances) at the competent registry office. I don't know whether copies of your passport will be sufficient, but I assume that she got in contact with officials already to clarify which documents they need to see.
