Help! Please. I am getting married in 7 weeks, I have just seen your messages regarding birth certificates and now I am in a panic. Both myself and my partner have the actual certified copies which we had to order but haven't done anything else with them do we need to? We are having translations done in resort. I am worried. Can anyone help please? Thank you

I've contacted my agent Thomas cook today they have confirmed that if we get translations done in Mexico we do not need to get the embassy to do anything beforehand in the uk it will all be done there. Panic over!

S-H i applied for my b/c through GRO and on the top its states its a "certified copy of an entry" is this the same as yours?   I hope so as i was major confused lol

 

omg it is so close to your big day, how are you doing?? xx

Hi ladystardust- yes we got our b certs ordered through GRO. If you choose to get trans done in Mexico that's all you need to do however should you choose to get them trans over in uk you have to send to embassy for them to stamp once trans is complete. It works out just as cheap to get it done there. I was panicking for a while. It's all going well thanks for asking, costing much more than imagined though with lighting for terrace, decorations etc I hoped to take my own bit at £100 usd per table I decided to go with Zuniga who are providing the lighting. I am sure it will all be wonderful. To be honest I thought that we would just turn up and sort everything out there. It's a shame that hasn't been the case. I am feeling nervous about it all turning out - sure will be great and worrying about nothing. How are your plans going?

[Ladystardust]

That's a relief, yes the costs are going up all the time but I suppose if you weigh it up against what we will spend at home, it def won't seem as much xx It will all be worth it and just do what feels right for you. How many guests do you have??? Things are finally starting to get moving now, dresses all done, just H2b who is not sorted but he leaves everything til the last minute and Im leaving him to it lol x

That's right, if we were to get married here alone without a honeymoon it would be more. Have you been to moon palace before? We did 7 years ago and from that moment decided we would go back at get married but setting up and having a baby has put if off until now. We are thrilled that we are all going making it extra special. We are a total party of 14. I am very excited - 6 weeks to go! How many in your party?
