Hi Michelle, I was worried too about that. I was just married at the Palace June 24th. It was PERFECT!! I was contacted by Adriana about 1 to 1 1/2 months before. I think they give that timeline, so that us "crazy" brides aren't emailing them months and months before. I had a small wedding, and everything worked out perfectly. She will email you all the information about the reception choices and add on's etc. I can forward you the info she emailed me if you would like, and would be happy to answer any questions that you might have? You can email me at my direct email which is [email protected]. Congrats!! Katie

I'm also getting married at the Riu Palace, June 24th, 2011. Yes, it's quite confusing trying to understand what the requirements are. It was even more complicated for us, because this is our 2nd wedding. We also had to provide certified & translated copies of our divorce papers! This is what I have learned and done, hopefully this is correct and will be acceptable when we arrive there in two weeks! -Original certified copy of birth certificate for each of you. Translated, notarized (or authenticated) and apositilled.(they will all be stapled together) -Passports (not translated) -Tourist Card-you will receive this when you enter Mexico -Marriage application (they will email this to you) I uploaded my documents to an online translation service (Fox Translation). They have a 24 hour turn around. I'm from the Los Angeles area, and I found out (later, than sooner) there are a lot of mobile services that will take care of all the running around for you, and can get the documents "authenticated" and "appositilled", depending on where you live, I'm sure. Where are you from? Hope some of this helps. Congrats to you!!
