Destination weddings in places like Mexico are still very much trending, and there are few signs of that trend losing popularity! A number of factors play into the perennial popularity of the Mexican destination wedding: great service, good weather, and the variety of activities for guests and the happy couple alike no doubt play into it.
Even with all that’s on offer, however, there are still those who are not sure about the legality of getting married in Mexico rather than at home! Here is all you need to know about legal weddings in Mexico:
Weddings in Mexico are Legal
Someone may have told you that you cannot carry out weddings in Mexico that will be legal when you return home, but this is just not the case! So long as you are in keeping with Mexican marital laws your wedding will be legally binding when you return home; there are some complexities you may need to consider, but they can be dealt with quickly.
Firstly, you will need to register your wedding when you get home, and you may have to translate your certificate too. If you have a wedding planner, however, they can help you to arrange all the legal paperwork and deal with any officials that need to be seen.
Consult a professional before you arrive so that you can sort out everything that needs your attention in good time and you should have no issues whatsoever with having your legal wedding in Mexico.
Getting married legally back home first
A second option, for people who want the sunshine but not the problems to go with it, is to have a small, legal ceremony in your hometown, and then to have a symbolic ceremony with more flair in Mexico. This can be a good way to weed out family drama, and can serve as an excuse for a party at home (as if you need one!).
Whether you choose to have your legal wedding at home or abroad you can be sure that a destination wedding in Mexico will be a once in a lifetime experience!
