? 4 Florida Brides Who Have Gotten Married In Jamaica

OROBride1008 · January 11, 2009

I have a question. Does Florida accept a Jamaican marriage license? People at work are telling me that I should get married here in Florida before I go, but have the ceremony there because it would be easier for me to get a copy of my marrige license locally than wait 2-3 months. What do you ladies think? I'm not sure I want to do that because I want the big day to be down there. Let me know what you think or what you did.

I live in Tampa and we are getting married on 1/19 in Jamaica. It may take up to 8 weeks to get our certificate, but we wanted to do it once and in Jamaica. Its should be accepted everywhere (I hope!) Good Luck!

I live in Ft. Lauderdale and had my wedding in Jamaica on Jan 18th. We had a quick civil ceremony at the courthouse here because the paperwork will be much quicker. Our Jamaica marriage was legal also, but I know I'll get my FL certificate first!
