Grand Sunset Princess Wedding - Fall 2012! Question!

[Brandie28]

Hi All!

Just joined, heard some great things about this forum so looking forward to talking to everyone!

 

My fiance and I are getting married here next fall and we are torn between doing the Civil ceremony and the Symbolic one. I think I am set on the Civil ceremony, can anyone share any advice, tips or stories!?

If we arrived there on a Monday and get our blood tests done that day, are we able to get married on the Thursday?

 

Thank you so much!!

and more specifically, there is tons of info about legal/symbolic ceremony already, try heading to the forum "Wedding Etiquette, Traditions, to dos" to hunt for more info

Welcome!!

We chose to do a civil ceremony as I wanted our wedding day in Jamaica to be the real wedding.  I know some people choose the symbolic wedding just because it can be easier and cost less.  As to when you arrive and can get married I found that it really is resort specific.  I would contact the resort and find out from them their policy regarding this.  Happy planning!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.  There should be lots of information on the forum to help you make your decision.  There are pros and cons to both types of ceremonies.  Either way your day will be beautiful.   

 

Warmest wishes,

Thank you so much! These forums get a little confusing for me

Okay so we have decided on doing the blood tests and doing the civil ceremony at the Grand Sunset Princess. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips who has done this before? Also, are there any extra costs for doing this that are not in the wedding packages provided by the wedding coordinators? We chose the Magical Package, do we even have to choose a package? I just want to make sure there are no hidden costs.

Congratulations and welcome!  The wedding palapa at the Princess is such a cozy intimate setting for a wedding.  I recently did a shoot there and here are some shots for you to get a better look at the ceremony location: Grand Princess Photo Shoot

 

 

 

Happy Planning!!!

[Moments That Matter]

Congratulations and welcome to the forums! The only advice I want to give you is that you should make this wedding in Mexico the first one! What I mean by that is that if you do decided to get married at home "legally"... do it afterwards. It always has the most emotion and magic the first time around. It will mean everything to you if its legal or not... so make that first magical moment happen on the beach so you can look into each others eyes with the world at your feet!

Best of luck
