After finding the love of your life, what could be more frustrating than having to jump through hoops to get married? In Mexico, same-sex marriage is a fact in 26 states and some isolated municipalities.
Same-sex weddings, known as homosexual marriage, same-sex marriage or gay marriage, is one that legally or socially recognizes the marriage formed by spouses of the same biological sex.
Jalisco allows same-sex marriage
In Jalisco, LGBT couples can celebrate their marriage without administrative obstacles or the need to seek legal protection.
The trigger for this progress was that in 2016 the SCJN invalidated some articles of the local Civil Code, considering them discriminatory.
It was as a result of an action of unconstitutionality promoted by the National Human Rights Commission, which was added to the 2015 ruling and in which the same court declared unconstitutional the state codes that were exclusive with any sexual orientation.
Despite the fact that the state had stayed away from legislating same-sex weddings, in April 2022 the change was accepted. It was through a decree that Jalisco accepted the modification of the State Civil Code to allow two people to marry regardless of their sex.

The perfect place to celebrate that special moment
There is no more magical and unforgettable moment than a wedding. If you think that getting married by the sea is the most romantic and fun experience, why not try getting married by the sea?
The wedding has to be a memorable and beautiful moment in the life of the couple. Yacht and catamaran weddings are all the rage right now and it may seem like a crazy idea, but it is a unique experience that many young couples are trying out as a more creative, private and fun alternative.
An occasion to get out of the ordinary, surprise everyone and take home a very special and peculiar memory of the most important day of your life.
Can a wedding be held on a yacht or catamaran?
The good thing about having different types of boats and capacities is that you can choose the one that has room for all your guests.
The yacht is the most common pleasure boat for weddings in marine waters. It is characterized by having good stability and a design with interior and exterior spaces.
Sailboats, boats and speedboats are smaller and ideal for very intimate weddings, one of the trends that is on the rise among millennial grooms.
The catamaran is a mixed vessel between a sailboat and a yacht. Having covers that are wide enough for celebration and gathering, they are perfect for weddings that bring together the closest friends and family.
If you only opt for the ceremony, something very intimate, it is best to do it on a simple yacht or sailboat, with a short wedding dress and your closest relatives. The party can wait for a later date or the next day, in case of a beach destination wedding. If you want to do it the other way around, you can contract marriage on land and embark to party big on a catamaran or a cruise.
The budget, the style of the wedding and the number of guests determine the type of boat they require to get married. We know that it is a different concept but without a doubt unforgettable.
The important thing is to celebrate love, in whatever way it is. Having the freedom to marry the person you love. And may that love be celebrated with great pride.
