So I was wondering what trámites you or Shari had to do that would have been more complicated with a foreign marriage, because I haven’t run up against any (yet).

Have you registered your marriage with immigration/minister of foreign relations yet? I can't speak for what you may have gone through but here in Baja it required several steps including having our certified marriage certificate and a certified copy of my birth certificate get an apostille stamp in San Diego, official translations of both documents along with my passport and then a trip to Mexicali for another document thta stated I had never been married before in Mexico. It would basically have been much of the same process to just get married in Mexico but then I wouldn't have lost the time accumulated as I did for the two years needed. They do give you a 6 month window but past that the clock goes back to zero. What made it really hard for me is that when we got married I had the time to do all the legwork and now I don't which is why I just hired an attorney here experienced in the process...
