We decided to do Symbolic. We are lucky enough to have a good friend who has married other couples and is going to do the symbolic ceremony for us in Mexico. That is going to save us $400 for the judge and $170 for the bloodwork.

To get your marriage license and court wedding here in Florida is only about $100 total and you don't need witnesses. We are going to go to the courthouse to get married the day before we leave for Mexico....but are going to keep it hush hush since I think my mom would go a little nuts.

I also heard that it can take up to 4 months to get your legal certificate from Mexico and in most states you need it translated, which costs even more money. I think getting legally married at home makes it so much easier!

is that only for symbolic?

I'm looking for wicker fans for wedding favors. Does anyone know where I can order them or if they have them on 5th ave?

Hey all!
Hope you are having fun planning, once the day arrives it goes WAY TOO FAST!! Anyways I wanted to share the photos from our photographer Artistique out of Portland. They just won album of the year with our book. They are fantastic, great people, super fun to work with and really got some good shots. Anyways wanted to share
