Honeymoons & Weddings

An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have: The older she gets,
the more interested he is in her. Agatha Christie, 1890-1976

Mexico is now the number one foreign destination for honeymooning couples. It’s no wonder, explains Geri Bain, travel editor of Modern Bride Magazine: “Couples nowadays are looking for more than just a nice beach location and good weather. [They] want a romantic and relaxing setting combined with adventure and outdoor activity. Mexico amply satisfies these criteria.”
Call your travel agent for honeymoon packages. Many resorts also offer wedding deals, allowing for a romantic tropical affair at your hotel. You can arrange your own idyllic marriage ceremony anywhere. It’s easy to plan a civil or religious ceremony in Mexico. The legal requirements and regulations are minimal and mirror what a couple would need to provide in the United States.
