Mexico is a beautiful country which has long been a favorite for those seeking a destination wedding… and as of 2015 it is also a country which views same sex marriage as equal to heterosexual marriage in the eyes of the law. You see, in 2015 the Supreme Court of Mexico ruled that any law which prohibited same sex marriage was discriminatory and, therefore, illegal. Since then the wedding industry has flourished.
Where are people choosing same sex weddings in Mexico?
As of 2015 gay and lesbian couples can get married anywhere they choose to in Mexico, but obviously there are favourites. Los Cabos, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Maya are big destinations for same sex weddings by the beach, but it’s very much Los Cabos which is top of the pile. There are services and venues for wedding parties of all sizes and budgets, too, so you can be sure you’ll get what you need. When it comes to same sex weddings in Mexico the choice is all in your hands.
Mexico Leading the Way
Of all the areas in Mexico it was Mexico City which first legalized all forms of same sex marriage in 2010. This was a move in keeping with many other places in the world, but it was a first for such a predominantly Roman Catholic country. If legal marriage is not your style and you wish to have a fully symbolic ceremony, rather than a legal one, then you can do so too in Los Cabos. There are plenty of venues for special ritualistic ceremonies.
Mexico hopes that you and your loved one will come here to celebrate this most special of unions. No matter what you need to make your wedding special, you can find it here.
