Hey Ladies! I'm planning to be a August 2012 Bride at the Now Sapphire in the Riviera. Me and my Fi are really both excited about the whole "destination" part of the wedding but becoming super discouraged at all the rules that Mexico has in place to lace their pockets. Are you planning to have legal ceromonies? All of the requirements surrounding how many days we have to be there BEFORE the wedding, and the blood test and the translation of documents is a bit much. When reading reviews on different sites, no one seems to talk about this part of it. We're also starting to feel like the Now Sapphire has a bit more $requirements$ than other resorts that do not seem to be built into the wedding packages they offer. Can anyone offer any feedback or comparisons for the resorts you are planning to use? Thanks! Oh and Allie... Great Dress! Congrats!

Thank you Sandy. The part about the resort "providing" us with witnesses helps a lot.

Hi! We are very interested in having our wedding at the Now Sapphire Riviera Maya, but are very concerned about the legal ceremony requirements. The wedding guide online quotes that the bride and groom and FOUR additional guests must all stay at the hotel a full week before we can be legally married. Does anyone have any experience with a legal ceremony, and how was it handled? Other resorts do not have a stay requirement for witnesses, or such a long stay for the bride and groom. Any Suggestions? Quote from the Now wedding guide: • Bride, Groom and four witnesses must arrive 4 full business days prior to the wedding day (Mexican holidays, day of arrival, Saturdays and Sundays do not count). Symbolic and non-legal ceremonies allow flexibility for arrival date. Please speak with the wedding coordinator to discuss requirements.
