I kinda like the idea of celebrating two anniversaries. Since I too am divorced and fear the paperwork hassle -- maybe pick a day 6 months before our Mexico wedding day to do the JP thing and can celebrate every 6 months. Not a bad idea!

We're considering our wedding date in Cabo our anniversary - because that is the day that was so special & we shared our vows to eachother in front of our family & friends.

Those of you that already had a symbolic ceremony, did you need to take your birth certificate?

We will make our real wedding date the day we get married on the island, not the at home ceremony.

I intend to do the same as Drea's parents... more reasons to celebrate, the better!

Well we're having our legal ceremony next week but our real anniversary won't be until October 10th, the day we get married in mexcio. I know I'm weird but I don't look at the legal ceremony as anything but a piece of paper giving me more rights, as for our Mexico ceremony we will have our own vows and be before all our family and God, therefore this will be the day we celebrate our anniversary.

 

I guess we're just different.

So, why did you all decide to do the legal ceremony before hand? I know that someone here did it after, and I kind of like that idea... what happens in the court house anyway? YOu don't have to say vows or anything?

I agree, any excuse to celebrate is good by me!
