Marriage

is there a religious muslim marriage different from that one with embassies envolved?

Which is the one where the embassies are Involved?

I am looking for fellow Mexicans who are currently living in Bulgaria.  I would like to know the procedure in going there.

In most countries, religious weddings do not have an legal relevance (and are seen as mere optional ceremonies). Only official marriages, registered with the authorities, count. Also, international recognition of marriages is a complicated field with each country having its own regulations. A religious marriage from a country where it is recognised des not mean another country will recognise it - and it s very well possible to count as married in one country and not maried in another (this is called "limping marriage" and is not a desirable status as it has confusing and often very negative consequences).
Embasies are not usually involved in marriages and canot usually wed somebody.
