Question: Signing marriage certificate on beach...


Recommended Posts

Any thoughts on making sure our wedding (elopement) stays a secret. We couldn't wait so we eloped. But, I still want a beach wedding that I've been dreaming of forever. We are getting married later this year that we will call the real deal, but don't want ANYONE to know about the first one. Our wed. coord. knows and says the resort will not tell so that's covered, but how can we get around the whole signing the marriage certificate on the beach without everyone finding out? If someone asks about it, what could we tell them? So stressed about this. Hubby says no one will ask about why we didn't sign, but I think they will.

I know Dreams resorts have you sign a paper that is a "keepsake" type paper. But even if you don't I bet that will be the last thing on everyone's mind. I have been to several weddings where they didn't sign the certificate right there and then.

I seriously don't think anyone would ask. I agree with just saying that they don't do the signing in Jamaica if anyone asks. I seriously doubt it. In most American weddings I've been too, the cert signing wasn't a part of the ceremony. So I don't think it will be missed.

You don't have to falsify a document, just buy or print a template of a keepsake marriage certificate and use that. Thats the "pretty" version of the legal one, the one couples sometime frame. Shouldn't be too hard to find or even make yourself. You could make it as official looking as you want! :)

    • 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!
    • 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!
