Secrets Silversands and/or Maroma Beach

We have also decided to get married at home and have a symbolic ceremony in maroma beach.

We went back and forth with it for awhile before deciding.

I was worried that it wouldn't be as exciting getting married there if we know that we are technically married already. What do you think?

Also, I am trying to get a copy of the script for the symbolic ceremony at Secrets. I'm just curious as to what will be said. Am I being a bit crazy with that request?

I don't think that's a crazy request at all NewYork!

In fact, maybe I should request that!-)

How about, if Cecilia sends it to you, you can post a link to it for the rest of us..? :-)

That way we don't bombard Cecilia:-)

That would be so great newyork if you could do that, because we were wondering the same thing, we wanted to write our own vows for the symbolic ceremony but I havent gotten around to asking cecillia. Thank you so much

Update: I emailed Cecilia about the price discrepancy and she very gladly and graciously said that we could get the lower price. She sent us an updated contract to sign with the newer price so i know that can't come back to bite me later on.

She thanked for me for pointing that out so they will probably fix it soon but I got lucky!

Here is the script for the symbolic ceremony. Cecilia sent it to me today. It's a bit hard to interpret in a few spots, but you can get the point.

"Scripture of Genesis 1:26:24 – .. and the Lord said "let us make the man on our image and God creadted the man in his own image at the image of God created he him male and female creadtedhe them and God blessthem and said unto them be blessed fructifie and reign over all the creation...could you please send this to us?

Thanks NewYork!

I have to admit, I'm a bit confused with reading that ceremony through though... It appears more "religious" than symbolic...and why do you need to sign any documents if it's just a symbolic ceremony...?

Is that just so it LOOKS real...?

I think maybe I'll ask Cecilia if they have a more "non-religious" symbolic ceremony...(my FI's family is Jewish and my family is non-practicing Catholic :-)) So we decided it's best to keep religion out of it:-)

I'll post if she sends me anything else!

We are having a “nonreligious†symbolic ceremony. Cecilia didn’t make a big deal about the request, I am sure she gets it all the time.

Julielynn,

Did cecila send you a copy of the non religious ceremony? Could you please post it. I've asked her about it and still have no reply. That would be greatly appreciated. Also has anyone heard from the photographer? are you ladies hiring someone else or using the resort guy?
