PV Catholic Wedding - in English???

hbr5515 - yes, keep me/us posted! I wish I could do a site visit myself but it's not in the budget (hence, the DW we are trying to plan!).

 

Have a safe trip and let us know how it goes!

Hi there! I'm sorry I'm just now getting back to you. It has been crazy! Anyhow- we were not able to visit with the priest because he was out of town. My fiance's mother spoke with one of the church secretaries and somehow got us moved to the 6:30 mass. Not sure how- bc I didn't even know there was a 6:30 mass! However, with much begging, and a good donation, they agreed to do the wedding ceremony part of the Mass in English, but the rest of the Mass will be in Spanish. The Church is absolutely gorgeous- if it weren't so beautiful I would go elsewhere because they are very confusing!!! I wish I could offer more help, but I left there just as confused as when I went. However, I do know for certain that the 10am Mass is in English. Let me know if you have any other questions and hopefully I can be of more help.

 

I totally fell in love with Puerto Vallarta- simply beautiful! I could seriously pack up my existence and move right on down!!

Thanks for your update! I'm glad things are working out. We haven't booked anything yet but I think we're about 98% sure we're going with Playa del Carmen. I've been researching PDC, PV and Cabo and PDC just seems to be best within our price range. We have to pay for this ourselves and are saving like mad on top of paying off credit card debt (mine - bad habits from the past), but we don't want to scrimp too much as this is our wedding trip, after all!

Keep us all posted on your planning!

Playa del Carmen is amazing! That is where we were originally planning to go, but we opted for the West Coast simply because a large part of my fiance's family lives in nw Mexico and it would have been very expensive for them to travel there. Best of luck planning your special day in paradise!
