My other question to couples who have the Catholic ceremony - because it's not recognized as a "legal" marriage in Mexico, what have you done to make it legal? E.g. have a JP do it also? Do a civil ceremony when you return home?
thanks! the easiest way is to do a civil ceremony at home....so much easier and no blood test!
