how much did it cost for you to get married there? did you tip the priest? lol

 

do you think i could get married in the chapel if i iam already legally married? did you need to go to any special classes at your church to get your paperwork?

 

sorry too many questions!

 

thank you!

I am not sure how much it will cost just to have the ceremony at the Chapel......I was just married there 3 weeks ago but i had a package because i had my entire wedding at the resorts.......

 

you actually have to be legally married before getting married at the  chapel so that's perfect for you! and we did have to go take those marriage preparation classes at the church here, and have approval from our priest (in form of a letter) letting the church know in Cancun that we were allowed to marry there............

 

When are you having your wedding?? do you have a date? reception place??

Wait...Bride2B22- you HAVE to be legally married before getting married in the chapel? I didn't know that! we weren't planning on getting legally married until after! We've done all of our church stuff, but i wasn't told that we had to have the civil ceremony before. Did you do your civil ceremony there or back home? And did they make you bring your marriage license? If you got married back home, how much in advance did you get married, bc doesn't it take a while to actually get your official license back?

Okay, thanks! I'm going to check on that one. I wanted to do it before as well, but FI insisted we do it after we get back. So that's what we're doing.

i really like the chapel there, and iam just not too sure of the resort ..iam on a budget and i need a all-inlcusive family friendly resort. blaaahh picking a resort is soo freakin hard!

Hey ladies, I believe you DO have to get married legally prior to having your religious ceremony. I'm not sure where I heard it but that's what I'm doing so I think the reason we decided to do it before the ceremony in Cancun was because we were probably told we had to do so. Definitely check with your priest, local registrar, and/or the resort..
