rjb300psu Posted March 27, 2013 #26 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The coolest projects we DIYed were the door hangers and the FunTimes themed information packet. We left a space to write in the date and time for the wedding because it wasn’t information we had until meeting with our coordinator, Penelope. Future Carnival Pride Bride here! Thank you so much for all of the details you've been posting about your event. Your insight for what I can expect in May is so great! I LOVE this DIY FunTimes packet that you did. Do you happen to have a template that you used to make it? I would love to use something similar for our party. We have 18 cabins sailing with us and this would be amazing to help keep everyone organized! Thank you!!! Randi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Wedding:) There are alot of us double bride weddings on here.. We are licensed in Maine.. Just passed here last november.. Cant wait for the whole ceremony in October.. We wanted to contribute since it's been legalized in states that have cruise ports (Mass, NY, MD) and gaining traction in others (CA, NJ) and show that it's an option. When we started planning a legal ceremony in MD wasn't a option and we were going to have to drive to DC or NY for the legal paperwork, per CCL's request. In fact, I think Lipz tried having her wedding with CCL (pre-passage in NY), but they told her no. It was nice having Lipz review and help to set a framework for how to make our cruise wedding work. So thanks for that, Lipz! Edited March 29, 2013 by Carnival_Brides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival_Brides Posted March 29, 2013 Author #32 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Our coordinator on board didn't ask for our ML, but CCL was adamant that we needed it, so we brought our original and ALL of the paperwork with us. Miami was more difficult to work with than the actual CCL staff onboard the ship (surprise, surprise). They wanted our ML faxed 4 weeks beforehand, but MD didn't become legal until 12:01 on NYE and we left Jan.13, so that was not going to happen. They made us sign a weird commitment ceremony waiver and initial that we would fax the certified copy as soon as we had it in our hand, on the 2nd, 11 days before we left.

Dreams Photography is the type of photography that they have been doing for weddings where they use the ship as the background and do extra work on the photos (cinching waists, whitening teeth, etc) We asked our family with help carrying items on. So we each carried our gowns, brother rolled the cart of 10 wine bottles, and sister did the garment rack. We had it closed through security and then opened it up once we were on the other side, so we could hang the gowns. It wheeled up the gangway fine. We were able to get FSF because we got married in the middle of the cruise when he wasn't needed. We were initially told he wouldn't be available for embarkation. The cruise director has final say as the head of the entertainment department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinking we have to get married elsewhere and then do a vow renewal sort of thing. If you're a same-sex couple, that is exactly what you'll have to do. Unfortunately, Carnival doesn't do commitment ceremonies and will only allow you to book a wedding or vow renewal package in a state where SSM is not legal, if you first get married in a state/country where it is. Confusing, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusing, I know. Yes, it is! I think we will go to Boston or somewhere for the ceremony. Doesn't matter to me where it's at. Whatever is least expensive. I'd like to think of our ceremony on board as the real deal.... I wish we had marriage equality in Florida.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdy4Passion Posted July 14, 2013 #50 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Congratulations on your marriage. Just beautiful! We are planning our vow renewal in December, but I'm not sure what to expect what I can and can't do for the ceremony. Your review has helped and put a new light into things. A few questions for you... We are expecting 10 guest small I know, should we just book the basic ceremony or the one with the reception ? Since it will be on a sea day. Photos do they offer smaller packages? $300-$500 range? FSF, was there a fee for him? Are you allowed to bring real flowers for the ceremony ? Or do you think it is better to use fake flowers since time and date is not known? Also could you email me the Power point to me. Dignaic@yahoo.com Thank you so much for all the details of such a special day. May your new life with your wife be filled with love and happiness for the years to come.
