Hey hermana... just remember, chances are the church itself will refuse to officiate., Why? Because they are not allowed, by law, to marry you without your Acta de Matrimonio, as in civil wedding. Plz be careful. :)

And peepz are right, in Mexico religious ceremonies are NOT legally binding; but churches are legally obligated to comply with civil law.

Len,

You are very wise!!! I completely forgot about that. My friend just had a religious ceremony in Mexico on Sept. 12th and the church would not perform the ceremony without proof they were already legally (civil) married. Sorry it just totally slipped my mind.
