It is no longer uncommon to find couples who intend to marry to find more exotic locations than in the past. Despite having a large country with plenty of wonderful beach resorts, this fascination with exotic places also fascinates Americans as well. 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.
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. In addition to this, many Islands have begun to recognize the appeal that couples are finding when taking their wedding vows surrounded by those that love them on a beautiful white sandy beach with a bright blue sky above. To lure the potential customers, there are now many all-inclusive packages provided by resorts where you could have a free Caribbean beach wedding if the couple opts for spending their honeymoon in the resort. Many couples find this arrangement very suitable since the wedding and honeymoon location is the same.
Most couples will be provided with a location within the resorts development that is located in a secluded part of it and away from those that have attended the happy event. However, if you are considering having a Caribbean beach wedding you will need to find out what the legal requirements are for the location where yours will be taking place. 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.
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. Generally the fees that are charged for these licenses range from 50 dollars up to 300, but this depends on the type of wedding ceremony the couple will be having and where it is going to take place. 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? 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?
