Civil Ceremony - ceremony vows?


Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm getting married in Punta Mita this December and my fiance & I debating between either a legal/civil ceremony or spiritual ceremony (getting married here in States prior to our departure). 

 

If we end up doing a civil ceremony, is there any flexibility with the ceremony/vows? Does anyone have an example ceremony script?

 

If the ceremony is in Spanish, what do you say for the "I DO", etc? I'd like to know exactly what I need to say.. 

 

I've also read that many times the Judge/minister knows English (or it can be translated into English), can anyone share their experience with their english translation skills?

 

This is the only aspect of my wedding that I'm getting a little nervous about (I hate public speaking, lol) so I'd appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

We are going to do a civil ceremony in Mexico and don't plan on telling anyone that the ceremony isn't the "real deal" so we will be using the same script as a legal ceremony would use.

 

--There is an extensive thread that contains all sorts of ceremony scripts that you might find helpful!! :)

I haven't gotten that far yet. I will likely be using the one provided by the hotel but I have a couple people that will be at the ceremony that I would love to have do it as well. I think having someone personal do it would be awesome while at the same time also even more emotional!! As you can tell, I'm really undecided on this and FI tells me I can only bring up so many wedding topics a day :) haha so I will likely continue to ponder it!

    • 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!
