Umm... that's not true. We got married in Mexico and had an official ceremony and everything. The resort provided the judge and we provided witnesses (but they could do that too).
Regardless, you have the option of getting married there or here, it's just more hassle to get it done down there because you have to translate birth certificates to Spanish, then translate the marriage certificate back to English when you get back in order for it to be recognized.
Not really a big deal as we had a certified translator lady here do it quick and cheap.
