cruise weddings

My hunny and I are thinking about getting married while on a cruise. My family has never been anywhere outside the US aside from Canada, and my parents are getting up in years. I want them to experience the Caribbean and a cruise. The only way to get the family together on one is to plan something big like our wedding! The kids going are all teens. Any suggestions?

where from? there are many options. Cruise weddings are great because it takes the pressure off of you with all the plans! You can have a wedding on the cruise ship itself or at a destination like Barbados or St. Thomas for example. All major cruise lines arrange these. Some considerations are, how many people? Any kids? How long a cruise? Post back and I'll give you some more details!
Congratulations!

Well, since my first post, we booked a Costa Cruise to San Juan/Nassau, St. Thomas/St. John, Casa de Campo and a private island stop. We have 17 people going, and want to get married in one of the stops. Costa informed us that they don't perform weddings on that particular cruise date, probably because of the popularity of Thanksgiving cruises.....We are hoping they will at least let us have a cake, toast, and a later seating for that night...But we like Costa anyways. Great food, pretty ship and not a lot of little kids. Do you know anything about those islands and weddings? Thanks!

You can have a wedding at most of those ports. Check out this company
www.aweddingforyou.com
They arrange weddings in San Juan, Nassau, and St. Thomas as well as many other places. They give the bride and groom transportation, provide and officiater, and have champagne and a cake afterwards. Make sure you check the marrige licensing details.
If you decide to do that, check with Costa and they may be able to provide a private party for you. Of course it will cost extra, but worth it.
A wedding for you can help you along the way. Best wishes to you!
