It is no longer uncommon to find couples who intend to marry to find more exotic locations than in the past. This trend is also affecting larger numbers of Americans who now get married outside of their country. Many of them now consider a Caribbean beach wedding as their first choice. The reason for this is that the local beaches are not as well-kept as those in the Caribbean and this is also one of the prime reasons for people wanting to spend time on Caribbean Islands.
The Caribbean climate is also much milder than that found it the USA so the beaches are much more suitable to hold a wedding at any time of year. Moreover, many of these islands have identified the need for many couples who would like to say ‘I do’ in the presence of their friends and family standing on a pearly white beach with the clear blue sky as the canopy over their heads. 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. If that isn’t enough, this type of arrangement also makes it easy for the couple to enjoy their honeymoon in the same place as they were married.
Another benefit is that most of these resorts will also have provision for weddings where the couple would prefer a little privacy away from other guests but not outside the complex itself. If you are thinking of organizing a Caribbean beach wedding please take into consideration any legal bindings which might be in existence at the location where you plan to hold the wedding. It is important that each Caribbean Island will have a different set of legal requirements that couples will need to meet in order to have their wedding take place there.
You may find that you have to wait a certain period before the marriage can take place and you will also in all possibility need to obtain a marriage license as well. The license fees could range anywhere between 50 and 300 dollars depending on the specific type and venue where the wedding is planned. It may seem like an obvious point but it is easy to overlook: make sure you have valid passports because you wouldn’t want something like this ruining your ideal Caribbean beach wedding would you?
