Aurora emailed me back yesterday saying that arriving on March 31st or April 1st will both be early enough for a legal ceremony on April 6th, even with the holidays! Problem solved!

If it's symbolic then you don't need to worry about it. Congratulations to you too, and thanks for the welcome! We're having a legal ceremony, which is why we're a bit worried about the dates. I guess for now we'll hold off on buying our flights, so we can figure this all out.

I'm getting married at Dreams Tulum on April 6, 2010 (yay! ), and we were about to make our reservations today when I realized something. Our wedding is on a Tuesday, so we were going to fly in the previous Wednesday and have Thursday, Friday, and Monday count as our 3 business days prior to the wedding. However, Thursday, April 1st, is Maundy Thursday, and Friday, April 2nd, is Good Friday. I emailed Aurora a few minutes ago, but I wanted to see if anyone here might know. Will these days still count towards our 3 days, or do we have to get to Cancun even earlier (and miss even more work/school)? Help! (oh, and hi! I've been reading this thread fairly regularly, but I think it's my first post in it, so it's nice to meet you all.)

My fiance and I are planning to get married in Riviera Maya, and will have about 4 weeks off for our honeymoon. We both love to travel, and were thinking since we're already going to be so far south, why not just continue to head south into Central and South America. Have any of you done this? We'll probably have around $10,000 for the HM, and we're open to other suggestions. Pretty much anywhere in the world (that we can afford) is open, but we don't want to stay in one place for a long time. We're also fine with traveling on the cheap (local buses, lower-end hotels, etc). I'm kind of overwhelmed with all of the possibilities right now, so I'd love to get some suggestions or ideas.
