For centuries getting married has been the way to seal one's love, thus igniting an eternal flame to warm the family begun.
More men are joining the list of wishing women to have their "dreams come true" when it comes to getting married. More persons from across the globe are choosing to come to Jamaica to begin a long life of stability, or simply to bond for many reasons, love and otherwise. Some have even written in to www.jamaicans.com for assistance.
Economic hardships have prevented lots from making a big splash, red carpet and all, for their special one. Then there are those who would rather go simple, getting joined in the presence of just a few supporters.
Two marriage officers and three trained photographers have joined the Legal Wiz network to provide services to the public.
This means that one can now contact the International Team of Legworkers or the Legal Wiz team for assistance in getting married at reasonably low fees. There is a package for everyone or rather any couple regardless of the budget.
This applies, whether you have been previously married, divorced or widowed, and also whether you are Jamaican or not.

Getting married on a low budget, or cheap cheap doesn't mean that the wedding ceremony itself is cheap.. it just means that you pay little and marry big with the right team to handle your affair
Anthea McGibbon who is herself a trained photographer with experience in wedding planning and photography gives solid input to ensure a memorable occasion regardless of the package.
