So, not only would we have to pay for the package, we'd also have to pay for their flight and room stay. This is the single most ridiculous policy EVER. Why on earth would they require someone from outside Mexico?? The resort photographers are not really that great, to be honest. I REALLY like Ivan Luckie, and think he would be amazing, but according to our resort we can't use him! Grrrrrr! Oh nooooo!!!! thats not good!! I've heard of a few hotels requiring you to book rooms/pay a fee but never that they must come from outside mexico?!

It was slightly different for us, I contacted the hotel and booked the wedding in advance of the trip as I REALLY wanted a confirmed date. So when we booked the hotel etc with carribean warehouse their wedding coordinator contacted us and said she could help with all the legal stuff/and contacting the WC on our behalf but I already had communication going so took her info but havent put any ?'s through her yet. Do you know who you spoke to there? We've been dealing with someone called Chris and he was really helpful x Lynsey - welcome, one of my friends has been to that hotel and lovedddd it.. shame its adults only cuz its beautiful!! x

Quote: Mexican Civil Marriage Advices Ladies and gentlemen, according to the laws of this country we are gathered here to join the bonds of Matrimony which is an honorable status: _____________ (groom) and _______________________ (bride) Seeing it is a very important act, I would kindly ask everybody to remain in silence. As witnesses of this important act, there are present here: 1. ____________________________ 2. _______________________ 3. ____________________________ 4. _______________________ Who will sign the marriage document. A great Mexian philosopher of the nineteenth century, Mr. Melchor Ocampo, wrote in his legendary letter, the following words that until today are always read in our wedding ceremonies, "marriage", it says is the only legal and moral way to found a family, to preserve mankind and avoid imperfections of the human being who are only able to obtain the perfection of the human race through matrimony in a conjugal duality. Men and women have the same rights, but it is important to observe their respective obligations. Both of you should have respect, fidelity, trust and assistance to one another and also tenderness and love, much love. Do not fight with one another, use your heads and your hearts to correct something wrong. Both of you should be aware of the great responsibility of being parents, because you should provide your children with attention, good example to follow during the rest of their lives. I now ask two questions to your witnesses. 1. Are ________________ (groom) and __________________ (bride) persons you know well? 2. And are there any objections for them to be joined in legal marriage in Mexico? __________________ (groom) do you accept ____________________ (bride) as your beloved and wedded wife, __________________ (bride) do you accept _____________ (groom) as your beloved and wedded husband? _________________ (groom) and __________________ (bride) after ratifying your wish to get legally married by means of your signature and your witnesses' signature and in the presence of your family and friends in the name of the law and the society and with the authority from the Solidaridad Municipal, here in Quintana Roo, Mexico, I now declare you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. CONGRATULATIONS! Playa del Carmen, Solidaridad, Quintana Roo. The _____________ (day/month) of _________ (year) El C. Oficial 07 del Registro Civil. This is what i've seen elsewhere on the board is the legal/civil ceremony script... can anyone confirm if this is the script they used?

Welcome to the new brides!!! x

How's your tonsils? better i hope x Oh you should be able to do 21lbs easy by next year, just looked at what that is in stone lol Well I want to loose 3 stone in total, i've already done 1 and half since Jan just hard to keep it going now... starting to loose interest in it Tonsils are getting better thanks xxx

Quote: Originally Posted by Nicyx It dosent matter your getting married in 2012 and asking questions now, at least you will be well perpared... xoxo I agree with this - when I was looking at stuff sometimes on other threads on the forum I was sometimes made to feel that my questions werent important because my wedding was a while off when actually I think its good to ask early and be prepared!! x

Quote: Originally Posted by prettypigpig Like I mentioned before...I can't change my lastname (too many divorced jokers here)and have to pay $500 to notorize my legal mexican wedding cert in order to make it legal here. Therefore, I will sign the legal stuffs here for $300 with a prenup and will, and get a symbolic ceremony in Mexico. So officially you'll be married beforehand which date will you celebrate as being married? I assume the symbolic date? x

nickyx - how much weight are you trying to loose in total? how u been doing it? I'm also trying to loose weight done quite well so far had a bad few weeks tho, reckon my tonisilitis has got me back on track tho! Love the shoes both but would be wary if they would catch on your dress? x

Its the legal script they have to say for mexican weddings according to this particular poster - I would assume from other bits i've read that you can add bits in, and hopefully take away that reading as I think it may offend some people attending the wedding!! I've posted on my hotels thread seeing if anyone has the script used there as perhaps different judges allow different scripts? x

Phew thanks - that means I should have some pictures by the end of the month then! x

Has anyone got from Ana the ceremony script they normally use? Are we definately able to customise this as I think OCAMPO's reading may be offensive to some of our guests

Have you guys seen the legal ceremony that some have posted saying it must have included??

Yes lol, i am staying in my dress the bars at the hotel are lush not like ones over here in the UK lol, so i'm sure i'll be fine! There is no way i'm taking it off, ha ha! Worth trying though! I think we're flying with TC too - bit concerned people had issues already but its only the flight so hopefully no need to worry UNLESS that bloomin volcano is still going off!! I can't imagine what would happen not sure if wedding ins. would cover the loss of your wedding package if you cant travel because of "acts of god"?

Quote: Originally Posted by michelle2011 As for photos our resort hotel pic's are OK. I think anyhow. I can't justify spending out £££'s on Elizabeth Medina but if money were no issue i would defo go for her! I would have loved Elizabeth Media however her prices would have cost me more than my wedding package!!! Ivan was almost as good as her for 1/3 of the price! Quote: Originally Posted by michelle2011 roxmysockz - where did you get your rings from? We looked in Ernest Jones (MIL works in there so we would get 30% off if we get them there)! But i have seen some nice ones in Goldsmiths. My ering was from Fraser Hart but was expensive so we are tightening our budget for the wedding rings. We went to Hatton Gardens in London mine was a custom made ring as I hadnt seen anything that I liked with the right cut of diamond they also can be quite flexible on cost! Have you considered palladium rings?? our bands are both palladium and its a much cheaper metal really helped keep our budget as close as possible and let me have some bling! Nicyx - those prices seem pretty good to me! esp if you like their work x

Quote: Originally Posted by michelle2011 Another UK bride here, waiting to book! We have to book ours with Cosmos as they are the only ones that do our hotel. Our friends booked theirs with First Choice last yr and had nothing but problems so we will prob book it at TCook! Cosomos use TCook airlines though so that's a bit of a worry going by what you have just said (.... Maybe i'll ask if we can fly with Thomson's instead? At the mo we have 20 ppl coming and i think the day will be fine. Our wedding is on hold for 3pm then photos, cocktail hour and dinner in an al a carte at 6pm. I guess we'll finish up dinner at around 7.30 and move onto a bar. I think even if you have a small group you are at a hotel so there will be plenty of ppl around you and the atmosphere from the wedding will be great. You'll all be on a high from the day! Michelle if you were looking at cosmos try carribean warehouse I had the same issue that no high street TA did our hotel and carribean warehouse came in £200 cheaper per person than cosmos! Also - are u going to stay in your wedding dress? I cant imagine sitting at a bar in my wedding dress? lol x

Yay another dreams riviera bride!! Welcome!!! xx

Might be a silly question - but when Gianinar quote 30-40 days is that WORKING days or just days? x
