Cozumel Makes Tying The Knot Easy, Fun, and Affordable

go to original



The Mexican Caribbean island of Cozumel just made tying the knot in your dream tropical island destination a whole lot easier. In addition to offering stress free planning, incomparable value and an instant honeymoon, Cozumel now only requires three steps to officially be married on the island, and no longer requiring a sealed birth certificate from your birth country.

In the past, a passport or valid ID as well as a sealed birth certificate from your country of birth was required to be married on the island, now couples only have to follow three simple steps to make their magic day a reality. These steps include supplying a copy of your passport, providing the tourist visa you receive upon entrance to the country and a blood test for the bride and groom. Cozumel's experienced island wedding planners and coordinators are ready to help you complete these steps to ensure flawless planning.

"We are very excited about the change in the marriage requirement process," said Raul Marrufo, director of the Cozumel Promotion Board. "It makes our island even more accessible for couples planning their dream island destination wedding."

Leave the wedding planning stress behind in 2009 and take advantage of one of Cozumel's many wedding packages. Packages for weddings taking place in March through July 2009 include:
