i found this on the web one day looking for the civil ceremony wording in mexico (it's not the complete article tho) ... thankfully a few changes have been made! haha! and FYI, the civil ceremony at dreams is NOTHING like this, so no worries!

Mexico updates language for civil wedding ceremonies.

MEXICO CITY _ Unlike many Mexican brides over the last 147 years, Veronica Mendez did not vow that she would not "exasperate" her new husband, nor promise to treat him "with the reverence due to the person who supports and defends us."

 

Nor was her husband, Gustavo Garcia, told to treat her "with the magnanimity and generous benevolence that the strong must have for the weak, essentially when this weak creature gives herself unto him."

 

Mexico's women scored a small victory in their long battle against machismo this spring when Congress told judges to stop reading those customary words during civil marriage ceremonies after a decadelong fight by activists who found them offensive, obsolete and a reinforcement of underlying sexist attitudes.

 

The so-called Epistle of Melchor Ocampo, written in 1859, once was the law but had been shelved by many judges as a nod to the changing times. Yet some judges still read it, perhaps thinking erroneously that it remained in the civil marriage code, and some women still request that it be read.

I've just been reading back through some of the past Dreams wedding reveiws ( Jilly's, Paula's, Brenda Star ect... ) and thay all say that they partied untill 11pm ! Does anyone know if they all had to pay the extra $10 + 10% + 15% for the additional open bar / waiter service per person ? I know this is a convirsation I have brought up before in a thread I started but I don't seem to have got very far with it. I know most of you are going to go with the flow and probably move on to one of the bars after your 3 hours of reception are up but I was just wondering how the others that have already got married there got round this music / time issue ?? Did they pay the extra or did they just end up staying with no extra cost ? Any thoughts ?.....
