Cancun's Collective Weddings are the Anti-Wedding You Need
Cupid's calling Cancun! Join 99 couples for a mass Valentine's Day wedding, with freebies for the first 100. Skip the boring banquet hall & say “I do” under the palm trees! Register by Jan 31st and let the fiesta begin.
Forget flying off to Vegas on a whim, Cancun has a new way to say “I do” that's as vibrant as a margarita sunrise and twice as fun: the Collective Weddings 2024. Picture this, lovebirds: February 14th, hearts beating like mariachi drums, and you, hand in hand with your soulmate, surrounded by 99 other couples pledging their eternal vows under the balmy Mexican sky. Talk about a wedding party!
But before you start picturing matching flamingo suits and a conga line of bridesmaids, let's dive into the nitty-gritty. Marcos de Naele Basilio Saldívar, the Cupid-in-chief of the Municipal Civil Registry, has laid out the love-quest map. Registration is open until January 31st at the DIF Cancún facilities, so grab your birth certificates (freshness matters, honey!), valid IDs, and a whole lot of “sí, quiero.”
Now, for the quirky perks: the first 100 couples get a free pass on the dreaded “delinquent alimony debtor” check, along with those pesky prenuptial analyses and medical certificates. Feeling frugal? The San Miguel lab is your wedding wingman, ready to tick that medical box for a fraction of the price.
Speaking of numbers, 2023 saw nearly 4,800 couples tie the knot in Cancun, and 2024 is shaping up to be just as love-struck. Last December, cupid's arrow struck 442 hearts, with 14 same-sex couples joining the matrimonial fiesta. Love knows no borders, and Cancun embraces it all, from Mexican-Mexican love stories to international tangos and everything in between.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the new medical certificate requirement for marriage. Some might call it a red flag, but Marcos assures us it's just a heads-up. If the certificate reveals a chronic or incurable disease, the other party gets informed, but the wedding march doesn't stop. Transparency is key, and love conquers all, even medical diagnoses.
So, if you're looking for a wedding that's as unique as your love story, with a dash of fiesta flair and a whole lot of “we do” vibes, then Cancun's Collective Weddings are your ticket to happily ever after. Ditch the boring banquet halls and say “I do” under the palm trees, surrounded by fellow lovebirds. Just remember, first come, first served for those freebies, so get your Cupid-approved paperwork ready and get ready to say “sí, quiero” Cancun-style!
P.S. Don't forget the sunscreen and your dancing shoes. This love party will be epic!
