I am not sure what they are doing to make it look official. Most of the people going know that we are going to do it the day before we leave for Cancun, but maybe I will talk to the wedding coordinator about that.....I still haven't heard from her yet and it has been a week!

And I also forgot that it takes a couple months before you actually get your marriage license back from Mexico, from what I heard and it is more of a trust issue with us, we want to know that it is truly legal and we are legally married for sure

We too are going to be married at the JP RIGHT before we leave for Mexico. We are going to go with just a few family members to witness and we aren't telling anyone else. We just figured with the extra money it costs, run around, blood tests, and the fact that pretty much the only that will be there that is related to me will be my dad and that isn't for the whole time and if something happened to me, then my husband (legally by the time we are in Cancun) would be able to sign for me on things or make decisions. Then it would be done and when we did the religious ceremony on the beach, we would actually BE married and not have to do it when we came back and we could celebrate as the actual married couple we are at the point. Just for us, it seems like the easiest way to go, but I understand not wanting to do it beforehand too because we had the same exact worries as other people I have read about.

Thanks Everyone for the Welcome! I am really looking forward to seeing other's pictures of their destination weddings and hearing stories and ideas. I have already found so much!!!
