The Yucatan Peninsula including the Sian Ka\u2019an Biosphere, Riviera Maya and Cancun provides a great choice for gay weddings. There\u2019s a venue for every preference and budget, too; whether you want to have an intimate, barefoot beach wedding, or a huge stylish affair it\u2019s all possible here in Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Making History<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-824\" src=\"http:\/\/www.siankaanvillage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-history.jpg\" alt=\"Making History\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.siankaanvillage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-history.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.siankaanvillage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-history-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.siankaanvillage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-history-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.siankaanvillage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/making-history-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mexico City was the first part of the country to make headlines by pre-empting the Supreme Court ruling by legalizing all same sex unions in 2010. This was a very positive move which followed in the footsteps of other liberal and progressive countries in the world. If you wish to avoid the legalities, however, and simply have a symbolic ceremony this too is on the cards. There are plenty of locations for a special ritualistic union.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sian Ka\u2019an Village cannot wait to welcome you and your loved one to its shores for your very own special day. Whether you want to plan it yourself or sit back and let others do so for you, there is a service to suit all needs.
