Marriage tips?

I am getting married in Colombia at the end of this year/beginning of next year 2008. I'm not asking visa questions (well, at least I don't think it concerns us, if it does, please do tell). I am currently a resident of the US but am a Colombian and Canadian citizen... and am marrying an American citizen. We don't plan on living in Colombia, at least not for a while, we just want to be married there, and then come back to the US. Any tips, anyone? From what I have read in the marriage posts, it seems really confusing with a lot of notary work and signed papers and whatnot.
Thanks

Best tip I can give is to fly to San Andres Island and get married there. In San Andres all the US citizen needs is a Passport. If you chose to get married on the mainland you will have lots of paperwork ahead of you. Good luck and congrats!

and thanks for the tip- I'll check it out at San Andres... would Providencia also do the same as San Andres? I assume it would.

Morph,

Careful where you send the guy. The fourth article on that site states "Marry foreign women only". I have seen that site before and it is mainly aimed at not marrying American women. I couldn't agree more. Ha Ha.

Morphus--very Interesting Site! Too bad I didn't see it before I married my Mexican Wife, whom I promptly divorced when the LIGHTS went back on! LOL

On Sept 17, 2008: Senator John McCain said, as he had many times before, that he believed the fundamentals of the economy were "strong."Hours later he backpedaled, explaining that he had meant that American workers were Strong.

Providenca doesn't have a notary. The only notary is on San andres.
