Do any of the ROR ladies (or others) know if the officiant for a symbolic ceremony will/can read the same standard vows used in the religious ceremony? We've now decided to get married before getting to Jamaica, well, we didn't send the required paperwork in time...oops! smile105.gif

You can ask for whatever you want, whether or not you get it is another question. There are supposed to be different ministers for the different types of ceremonies. We asked for a civil, non-religous ceremony and ended up with a minister who didn't know how to prefrom a civil ceremony. If you have your heart set on the religious wording, I would email Chandlyn at least a couple of times (phone if you can!) and be very clear and tell her what you want and that an alternative is not acceptable. I know it sounds harsh, but we really got f'ed over for not being assertive enough.

I typed up a script of exactly what I wanted to be said. I printed out about 5 copies just in case. I gave Chandlyn 2 copies...for her and the officiant (whom I did not meet until I was walking down the aisle to get married the day of...) I had a spare copy with me at the ceremony just in case they wanted to play dumb and read something else. He did a great job and just read what was on the paper... He didn't really even stumble over some things and also put extra emphasis on some parts. I combined all the things that I liked from other's ceremonies and it lasted a total of about 45 mins...including the sand ceremony and signing...

 

So you should be fine, again it's your wedding and you are paying them...

I don't see why not. Your guests shouldn't even have to know that the ceremony isn't "official"

I gave our minister a word-for-word ceremony that I wanted and he read exactly what i gave him and then he added in a few things that they must say, like can anyone see why these two cannot legally marry speak now or forever hold your peace.... i didn't have that written down and he added it. And I included a few places for him to add his own prayers, which he kept short and sweet.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
