Instead
MaryJane and Chuck had a small wedding in Negril, Jamaica.
Their guests were the bride’s parents, the groom's aunt &
uncle, the best man and maid of honor along with a few other
couples who were also getting married at the resort.
"Initially I had some misgivings with my friends not
being there, but they vanished when we met people down there
who attended our wedding. People at the resort were either
on their honeymoon or were there getting married…you meet
so many people."
To plan
their "Weddingmoon," MaryJane & Chuck used
Beach Bum Vacations which specializes in Caribbean
travel and honeymoons. "Hayley was great…she handled
everything regarding what we needed to do from the licensing
to planning with the wedding coordinator in the islands.
There are many preplanned packages but there are lots of
different options - you can put in special requests, get a
band, pretty much anything you want."

"We
spent 8 days at the resort. We had to fly in a few
days before the wedding and the only downside was
carrying the wedding gown & tuxedo on the
airplane but the stewardess hung them in first class
and we even could have had my dress ironed at the
resort. |
"We
were married at 10am on April 29th. After the
wedding we had a luncheon on the beach with
cake. Then that night we had a dinner at one
of the restaurants on the resort with my
family."
|
"The
food is phenomenal at Sandals. They had 5
different restaurants on the complex including a
formal restaurant "The Sundowner," a
Japanese Sushi Restaurant and the Main Room where
they served buffets and desserts. Luckily the
wedding was only 2 days after I got to the resort,
otherwise I never would have fit into my
dress."

"The
day after the wedding my family flew back home and I
started to relax." (Before the wedding).."you’re
worrying about everything. We had a beautiful two story room
at Sandals with its own mini-bar and we even had our own
personal 'perks concierge'."
On the
resort we hung out with 2 other couples who also got married
on the resort. At night we wouldn’t go off the resort, but
during the day there are lots of people organizing
activities for you from bus trips for shopping to treasure
hunts. We went to Rick’s Café and saw divers jumping off
the cliff. We also went scuba diving. I took a lesson at the
resort…my husband is 1 dive away from his certification -
he took scuba diving lessons locally in South Jersey. They
also have snorkeling and kayaks and the water was perfect!
"When
we got back from Jamaica we celebrated with a nice big
barbecue with all our friends and showed the video from our
wedding."
