I was told by a TA, to use caution in having a Civil Ceremony in DR becuase you can run into a lot of barriers. I was also told that you have to pay almost $100 per page/documents (needed for marriage) to be translated in Spanish. Does anyone know if this is true. Â At Christy: I was in contact with Rick York about 2 weeks ago and he mentioned that he was going on vacation for a month. He did say that he would periodically be able to check his email. So, if you don't hear from him right away, that's why:)
