Recently Decided to get married while on vacation

Hi

My name is Nikki and I am 24yrs old I have been with my fiance for 5 yrs and we have a little boy together who is 18months old. We recently decided we would like to take a vacation in October. While looking for vacation packages we realized we could get married in Punta Cana for way cheaper than we could possibly here. I am fighting right now to decide to go the easy way and gt married here and just have a symbolic wedding in DR or do the whole thing in DR?? Any suggestions

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Nikki I can't help with your decision but perhaps by searching in the DR forum and connecting with other DR brides they can help. Good luck with your decision and happy planning!

This is THE best forum for a bride to be....you'll find it all here!

CONGRATS!

congrats & happy planning

Hi PuntaCanaNikki!

We also debated over the whole "where to do it legally" thing, we decided on getting it legally done before leaving so we wouldn't have to deal with blood testing and translating, etc.

Just run a search through the forum and do a list of pros & cons to weigh your options out?

I see you're a fellow Canadian, maybe this could be helpful:

Congrats & Happy Planning!

Congrats Nikki and welcome to the forum!

We decided to get legally married at home and do a symbolic ceremony in Mexico. It was easier and faster! And less to worry about

Hi Nikki, congrats on your engagement! Welcome to the forum and happy planning!

Nikki! Either way will be awesome! Symbolic definitely less hassle and less to worry about for sure.

Hey Nikki,

Most couples getting married in PC are doing a symbolic wedding and you can hire Pastor York who does a full wedding for you, so know one knows the difference! I think he even has you sign papers. I think this may be the way to go as their is a lot less paper work and hassels. I belive he costs 300 to perform the wedding for you.
