Legally Marrying at Home

[Sunshine311]

This has been an interesting topic for me, and the more I research, the more couples I am finding who opt to do the legal marriage at home, then just do a religious, or spiritual, wedding at their destination wedding.

 

So, I am curious to just do a quick poll and ask the brides here to indicate whether there doing the legal wedding at home, or if their doing the legal ceremony at their destination.

 

For myself, we're doing the legal ceremony at home.

 

I apoligize if this thread has been done before. I'm fairly new here and didn't see it when I looked back a ways.

I think there is a thread of this somewhere..I will try to look..

 

In the mean time....I am getting married here---its really easy to go do here in Nevada...which is one less thing to have plan! Then just do the symbolic ceremony in Mexico!

Man you are fast at searching...

I can already tell by reading these two threads that doing the legal stuff at home is more popular, just as I suspected. For me and FH, the legal marriage at home is just that - the legal paperwork. Our wedding date is the one in Mexico, the rest is just legalities.

What I am interested in knowing is are you doing it before the destination wedding or after? I am undecided about when to do it.

 

I tend to get very anxious at new situations so I have always imagined I would just feel sick to my stomach on my wedding day. not exactly fun. I am wondering if doing the legal stuff before we go to Mexico might alleviate some of that.
