My FI and I are planning our wedding in Panama and we just got all of the requirements from the wedding coordinator...seems to be much like Mexico (blood/urine tests required and all documentation to be translated into Spanish), so with that I think we are now leaning towards a symbolic wedding.  I don't think we are going to tell anyone though just keep it to ourselves.  Most of the posts I've read regarding symbolic weddings the bride and groom usually go to city hall prior to going away...I'm thinking we'll do the legal part of it when we come back so as to not take away from our special day in Panama, which will of course be the day we will forever celebrate.  Any thoughts on doing the legal wedding after the symbolic wedding?

Legal ceremonies after the wedding are a great option as well! Just be sure to check with your resort and ensure that for their Symbolic ceremony, they do not require the marriage certificate (some do and that could put a damper in the plans to be legally wed after the destination wedding!!).

 

Happy Planning!

I'm a June 2014 bride. Since both of us have been divorced, we are having a symbolic ceremony in Riviera Maya. Otherwise, we would have to spend too much money on translating documents plus we don't need blood tests. We haven't decided if we will tell anyone about the Chicago legal marriage.

    • 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!
