If You Are Having A Symbolic/Renewal Ceremony...


Recommended Posts

Will you consider the day you had your ceremony in Mexico your anniversary or the date you actually got married in the States?

 

 

My best friend is ordained (she is a wedding planner and most of them get ordained just in case there is ever a problem with the minister, preacher, justice of the peace, or whatever not showing up) and she is going to be the one to marry us after we get back from Mexico. We will just have a symbolic ceremony there....

 

But, the date we are choosing to have the symbolic ceremony is the date we really wanna get "married." Like, legally. However, it's going to have to be a date than we originally wanted just to avoid all the hassle of getting legally married in Mexico.

 

 

So, which date will you celebrate?

This is so my issue right now!

 

We are planning on getting legally married in the US. I want the date in Mexico to be our anniversary date. What I would love though is for one of our friends to get ordained online and marry us in Mexico. Is that considered a legal marriage there?

We are looking in to this. My best friend just did it online because it was convenient and fast in case she needed to marry one of her brides.

I would love this! As soon as I find out, I will let you know!

That's what I figured....it was worth a shot though.

 

 

Does anyone know if we have to take a birth certificate if we are only having a symbolic ceremony? I have 3 diff. last names and it gets so confusing,

 

Plus, I am divorced and that is another reason we are having the symbolic ceremony over there...too much paperwork and hassle with translating everything.

the date that we got married in Mexico. the day that we went to the courthouse felt like any other procedure. we didn't dress up (I wore black juicy sweats) and didn't do anything else to celebrate or document it... unless you count going to buy a digital camera right afterward for our trip.

 

real romantic, I know wink.gif

    • 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!
