So, we've now been married legally in Isla Mujeres with our friends and family present, jumped into the special Cenotes pool to become one spirit (the Cenotes pool, for future reference is chilly) and been married in a traditional Mayan Ceremony.
There was much chanting in Mayan, we drank special drinks, were purified with incense and then, made our wishes for the future and gave them up to the Gods by throwing specially blessed petals into the water.
The entire ceremony, complete with special Mayan clothes that it took 2 people to tie me into, drum beating, singing and a procession from our Villa took about 45 minutes. Once it was over, there was a special fertility drink they had us drink, on beautiful leather lounge chairs they had set up on the beach. The flower, by the way, that Chris is wearing signifies a traditional Mayan ring. I got to tie it onto him in the ceremony. The one he tied onto me was white. White petals for the girl and yellow petals for the boy.
