A Mexican
Wedding
Mexico has two types
of wedding
ceremonies:
civil and religious.
The civil ceremony
has any legal
standing and is
recognized outside
the country of
Mexico. The civil
ceremony requires
that the couple
present
identification
including a passport
or birth
certificate, and in
some Mexican states
both. A blood
test performed in
Mexico, and a three
day waiting period
from the filing of
the paperwork until
the ceremony itself.
If one or both
parties are
divorced, you must
provide certified
proof that the
divorce has been
final for at least a
year. In
addition, each
member of the couple
is required to
present 2 witnesses,
four total.
The legal ceremony
is performed in the
local civil
registrar's office
by a government
official, while
arrangements can be
made for the
ceremony to be
performed in an
outdoor location.
Your wedding planner
can help you choose
a location that is
available and handle
the preparations.
Following the
ceremony, the couple
receives a marriage
certificate stating
that they are
legally married
according to the
laws of Mexico. This
is largely
recognized as legal
worldwide, but must
be filed in your
home country upon
your return in most
cases.
The religious
ceremony is
generally for show
and celebration.
These can be held in
one of Puerto
Vallarta's many
beautiful
cathedrals,
churches, outdoor
locations, resorts,
beaches, etc.
There are endless
options throughout
the city. In
order for the
religious ceremony
to be performed, the
couple must present
proof of the civil
marriage, performed
either in Mexico or
their home country.
