My friend is a pastor so he is performing the ceremony, and that's why we decided to go impromptu, we didn't want the official Mexican ceremony because of all the red tape. We will be legally married in CA when we come back. It is a sand ceremony and there are no other weddings there. We reserved the beach for our "group meeting" for the hour needed as a private cocktail hour. Since the resort is all inclusive the DJ/dance floor and restaurants are free. For weddings they tack on all kinds of fees but for just a meeting party they give you an hour fee private cocktail session, and a guaranteed group dinner seating. Just because I'm wearing a white dress I didn't think it was a necessity to have the "free heart shaped cake" that comes with the $2000 wedding fee. No of course i'm starting to worry.
