Parish of the Risen Christ / Parroquia de Cristo Resucitado, Cancun (Catholic Wedding)


Recommended Posts

Hi ladies,   Just wondering if anyone has more information on this church.  I've found the websites (English and Spanish) and they aren't too informative.  Communicating with Parish secretary Lupita Ramos has been fast, but also relatively uninformative.     Here's what I've learnt so far:    The documents we need are:     1) "The authorization letter" from your priest giving me permission to marry you here.     2) Baptism certificate (updated)     3) Confirmation certificate     4) A copy of your Pre-cana course   Parish Priest: Luis Alberto Chavarria, L.C.     Av. Kukulcàn, Km. 3.5, zona hotelera     C.P. 77500     tel. (998) 84- 95-035     secretarì[email protected]   3000.00 celebration MN Keyboardist 700.00 MN Altar Flowers Arrangement 2500.00 MN   Just looking for more information on the church itself, the ceremony and whether it would differ much from the Canadian version (+/-). Is the Irish priest still there?  Anyone get married there?  Love it?  Hate it?   Any information would be much appreciated, thanks!! :)

Hi Janelly 
 
I have worked twice at this church, I can tell you what you need to incorporate the "Mexican traditions" to your wedding ceremony if this is what you wish for ! 
  
Arras: One of the most unique traditions in a Mexican wedding is the giving of "Arras"- gold or silver coins given by the groom to the bride. Thirteen gold coins are presented; they are each blessed by the priest presiding over the ceremony. The 13 coins represent Christ and the 12 apostles, and symbolically refer to the groom's commitment to support, provide and care for his bride. 
 

Lazo:  (lasso) As part of the ceremony to symbolize unity, a large loop of rosary beads or a lasso (cord) is placed in a figure eight (infinite) shape around the necks of the couple after they have exchanged their vows.  
A special person/couple places the lasso around the shoulders of the bride and groom. The couple wears the lasso throughout the remainder of the service. This symbolizes' the couples union and unbreakable bond of their love and trust. At some point of the ceremony, the lasso is removed by either the person which placed the lasso on the couple, or the priest. 

 
Ramo: (an extra bouquet of flowers) almost at the end of the ceremony the priest will ask you to the do the presentation of flowers to Mary through prayer and the laying of the bouquet.
 
Biblia: A Bible to be blessed by the priest. 
 
If you decide to don't incorporate this traditions on your wedding day, you only need to let know to the priest that you don't have any of this items, and he will skip this steps of the Ceremony. 
 
Good luck in your planning!

Hi Janelly,

 

Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!

 

From our experience, it's best to contact a local wedding coordinator to help you plan all the details for you. Eventos Euforia are based in Cancun and I'm sure they'd be happy to help with your reservations, transportation and all the logistics of your big day!!

    • 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!
