what You Should Before Planning a Caribbean Beach Wedding
A lot of people are getting enterprising when choosing the place where they want the wedding to be. This trend is also affecting larger numbers of Americans who now get married outside of their country. It is now quite normal for them to consider having a beautiful Caribbean beach wedding as their chosen location. It appears that the most likely explanation for this gradual change is the fantastic beaches to be found all over the Caribbean which surpass those generally found of the mainland.
There is also the wonderful climate found among the Caribbean islands which is suitable for a wedding all year long making it often more convenient to arrange than a ‘home grown’ affair. Although this isn’t the only reason – you only have to look around you to know that the location itself is incredibly romantic.
Today there are several resorts offering all-inclusive offers where one could have a free Caribbean beach wedding, if as a couple, you decide to book your honeymoon in the particular resort. So this provides them with the convenience of having their wedding and their honeymoon at the same location.
Usually couples are booked at a secluded and private section of the resort which is physically far removed from the guests who came to attend the wedding. Of course not to spoil the scenario but if you intend to have a Caribbean beach wedding you will have to ensure you are conversant with local laws relating to a wedding of non-residents. Please note that each Caribbean Island is governed by its own legalities which the couple has to comply with, before their wedding can take place there.
It is not uncommon for couple to have to be on the island for a set period before the wedding can take place and then of course there is the little matter of a local wedding license also. Be prepared to pay anything up to 300 dollars for the wedding license (depending on the venue) but they can be as low as 50 dollars – bear this in mind.
You will also need to be aware of any specific passport regulations at the island you are visiting for your Caribbean beach wedding – a small matter like this could completely spoil everything you have planned. Of course an invalid passport could mean that you are not allowed entry into the country and that is an extremely embarrassing situation, isn’t it?
