Civil "at home" ceremony


Recommended Posts

I keep on going back and forth on this.

 

My friend is an ordained minister in the States, and she is doing the ceremony in PV. I believe she has to do the ceremony in the States for it to be valid. I need to look into this.

Wow Girls! I didnt know that it was so hard to get legally married in Mexico. I figured that since this forum is filled with so many Mexico Brides that it was the easiest. Before we decided to get married, I pretty much had it in my mind that i wanted a DW and purposely looked for a legal place. It honestly would have been better had we chose to get married in the UK during the summer - we would have had more guests and we could have traveled Europe afterwards but its was so difficult as well. So I chose Fiji. I just dont want to have to deal with anything more.

I think that if I was getting married in Mexico, I would have to either go to the JP right before the wedding or right afterwards. I dont know.

it's not that it's really hard to get married in mexico... it's just that it's so easy to get married at home. plenty of ladies have done the paperwork and the blood test. i'm not going to be one of them either though! smile29.gif

Hello,

Well, yes, legal issues here are a little more complex on the civil/legal side of the weddings for foreigners. The language is different, and customs are different and legal formalities are different as well. You certainly can get married in Mexico, but in order to accomplish that,you will have to go through a little bit of trouble and time. A good WC should get this settled pretty well, don't try it alone, you'll only get frustrated. Most people say: get married in a beautiful beach or colonial town of Mexico, and then do the civil one in the U.S. or viceversa.

Best of best,

marTin

    • 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!
