We are also interfaith (he's jewish, I'm methodist) and originally were going to bring a Rabbi down. But after adding all the costs (stay, flight, food plus he was bringing his wife) we decided to have a non-denominational minister incorporate some jewish/christian traditions. neither of us is super religious, but we are spiritual and we would love to have both traditions at our ceremony. This is what I've put together so far:

(not in the correct order):

7 Jewish Blessings

Exchange of Rings

Blessing of the Wine

Sign of Peace (turn to your neigbor "peace be with you")

Breaking of the glass

Corinthians read

Be thou my vision sung (celtic hymn)

Irish Blessing (I have irish background)

Benediction

 

So it's a big mish-mosh of tradition! I'd love to see anyone else's ideas!

I am Jewish and my FI is not and there are definitely rabbis in the US who would marry us based on various criteria (promising to raise the kids Jewish, etc.). However, the list I had didn't include anyone from Mexico and so I didn't make any headway in my search there. In the end we decided to go with a person we know (my cousin's new husband) to marry us rather than flying down a stranger we haven't met, but I do plan on having a chuppah, a version of the 7 blessings, and the breaking of the glass.

We have also experienced that it is the easiest to fly in your own rabbi from the States. There is one rabbi available in Cancun, however he just moved here a couple of months ago and has mentioned he is not yet prepared to perform weddings.

He also says that due to all the preparations that a jewish wedding implies, it is very complicated to have a jewish wedding outside of your own country.

When you bring in your own rabbi, you can do all the preparation and talks with him up front.

 

I hope this information helps.

 

Good luck!

      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!
