Default Legal Ceremony in Cuba ~ personalized???

I am wondering if anyone who has been legally married in Cuba has personalized their ceremony... is this allowed?

I am in the process now of thinking a lot about the ceremony and have been looking at some choices for readings, a hand ceremony (which I love the idea of), and blessings to be had at the ceremony...

when it dawned on me... IS THIS ALLOWED ??

what was your ceremony like, or has your resort told you what to expect?

Thanks A.



I ask this because we'd like to really personalize the ceremony

try PMing JulieG she got married in Cuba. All of the US girls can't help you here since we're not allowed to go to Cuba.

Hey, sorry I am so late on this.

You have to do the legal vows first, that is what makes it legal, and then you can do what you want after. We did a sand ceremony right after the legal vows and my MIL conducted it. It was perfect and just the personal touch we wanted. The vows were so legal and not romantic or personal at all, so we felt we needed to do something, and we are very happy that we did. I hope that helps.
