For those of you from CA. and got legally married in Cabo

[DreaW]

Hi girls,

So you all know that Erik and I have finally decided to get married in Cabo when we go there this July 26-29.

We told my parents and they and my sisters and there significant others will be showing up also....We are not going to tell Erik's parents till it's closer to the date...and I'm thinking we will get them their tickets....

 

Anyways....here is my question....

For those of you who got married in Cabo when you came back to CA. did you have to do anything at the courts to prove that you got married in Cabo?

 

Basically ....what is the process afterwards when we get back from Mexico.

 

Maye is going to give me all the info on Monday to have the wedding in Mexico.

 

Thanks girls....I just want to make sure I'm on top of things in such short notice....

 

OH ONE MORE QUESTION:

Blood work: What do they basically do? I know they draw blood but do they tell you if they give the ok or not? What do they do?

Very good question. I'm guessing you need to file your marriage certificate with the courts. But that is just a guess.

What are they looking for in your blood. If your related? what if its not ok then what you can marry your kissin cuzin

They're also checking for pregnancy and if that comes back positive, it's a no. I read that somewhere online a long time ago... And I think they're looking for STD's, which could be a no also. But I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly because it's been so long since I saw this...

I can here it in the bad mexican accent now. No No senor and senorita we cannnot marry you heeeerrrreeeee because you two have been doing the hanky panky

You're cracking me up....LOL

 

So we've decided to do legal ceremony here in O.C. We are going to do it the day before our flight or even the weekend before. So much easier.....

Then have ceremony in Cabo.

 

I'm so excited!!!

Drea, I think that's a great decision! We are actually going our legal ceremony the day we leave on our honeymoon (we're not honeymooning in Cabo) so we'll have the Cabo ceremony and then fly home for a night, and then wake up, get married and fly to Belize.

 

It'll be just the two of us and the judge, but what a fun way to incorporate it all. Plus, it takes the hassle out of the blood work, paperwork, etc.

 

Can't wait to hear how it all goes!

Hey Drea,

just FYI I don't believe that the SA courthouse is open on the weekend.

From what I have read and have been told, they look for Aids and Syphallis)however you spell that). I have not been told they look for any other STD's or pregnancy etc.. But it does not matter since you are getting married in CA beforehand, but may be useful for anyone else reading this.
