We're putting so much into the Mexico ceremony (we've asked my brother to officiate in Mexico and we're writing the ceremony ourselves, for example), and we're putting nothing into our legal ceremony. So, our families have been okay with it thus far. We're treating Mexico like it is our legal ceremony; it's the one with meaning in our books. However, no one knows when we're actually going to the JP. That's our little secret

Just wondering why so many of you chose to do the symbolic ceremony instead of the llegal ceremony?

Me too!!! It's the thought of seeing him for the first time that really gets me. Oh, and the vows. I cry every time! All I can say, the makeup artist had better do one hell of a job!

We chose symbolic b/c of the logistics involved in getting married legally in Mexico. I can't speak for Karisma since we'd already decided on symbolic when we chose AB, and it seems the policies vary by resort. Some need you to be on the property 2 business days before, some 3-4 business days. Some require that your wedding party is there with you for those required days. But, the biggest reason for us is that we wanted to write our own ceremony and vows. We also didn't want a stranger marrying us (my brother's going to do it) who we may not even have met beforehand. Oh, and the possibility of needing a translator there if the minister didn't speak English. I happen to speak Spanish, but we didn't want that for our guests.

We looked into doing it legally but people who I knew that got married in Mexico or knew someone who did said they had problems with paper work. It may of been the resort. When I called a few of the resorts including AS all of the WC said to me do it at home. The only person that said it would be ok was our old TA who gave me alot of wrong information. It also worked out good for us b/c we would have to get it blessed when we came back plus my & FI's mom are happy that it is in the church first. I figure I can make them happy for this.

I have been looking at pictures of the beach ceremony and I notice all of the pictures have a wooden runner but all the packages include a red carpet. What are you guys having as a runner? Have you seen what the red carpet looks like? We were going to have the Sky Wedding but decided b/c of money to do it on the beach. I had the wooden runner already in my mind but if the red carpet looks ok, I will go with that.

I can't remember what it is called, but we are having one of the cloth runners that comes in pastel colours (we chose aqua)

I have seen that some people make silk boquets to match the 'real' brides boquet and bring those. Any thoughts? -Erin

Welcome Erin! ask away with your questions - all the girls here will do their absolute best to help you out where the can (and they usually can!)

I am getting mine from eBay (seller - gianinarbridal) eBay My World - gianinarbridal they are really reasonable and one of the reasons i went with them is that there are reviews on this site about them from other brides and they all only had good things to say...so that was good enough for me!!

Good luck!
