A real experience of
Wedding in Bermuda
|
|
I always had the dream that I would get married in a sunny island and on a beautiful sandy beach. After we got engaged, I had asked Mike about his choice for our wedding location.
And guess what he said ... on a beach! Well, I knew that with the meeting of the minds, this should now turn into a reality soon.
So the next question was, where? We actually had no difference in opinion even in this. It had to be Bermuda.

Two years back, Mike and I came to Bermuda and stayed at the lovely romantic Watercolors lodge in Warwick parish. The unforgettable memories were still fresh in our minds. Both of us quickly agreed to making one of the beautiful Bermuda beaches as our wedding location.
We scanned through the web to find out an on-island Wedding Planner. We got some names on the Bermuda Tourism site, and I called up some of them to find out their specialization. Soon we finalized one of them and really from that point on, everything happened on a clockwork precision.
We had a fairly large number of wedding guests. Many of us would be coming to Bermuda from the US east coast. Mike and I were travelling from Raleigh. Mike had worked out a return Cruise Package for Bermuda as that turned out to be the most convenient and economical.
After we reached Bermuda, as part of our pre-wedding celebrations, we all boarded the charter boat from Tam Marina. The 4 hour cocktail party on board the fabulous cruise was a memorable experience. The music on board and the sight of sunset on the Atlantic had been one of the life time experience. We still talk about it even now.
On advise from the wedding planner, we had chosen The Reefs Resorts in Southampton for our wedding. This is a beautiful and romantic luxury resort in a cliff-side setting overlooking a lovely private beach. So we had a lovely beach of our own and all the other south shore beaches were so close by.
The resort also offers a choice of three great restaurants - Grill 56, Ocean Echo Terrace and The Coconuts. There was a live musical entertainment everyday till late evenings in the restaurants. We also danced and celebrated in the open under the sparkling stars.
From our wedding experience in Bermuda and with its tranquil settings of the beaches, we know that we couldn't have asked for a better place to get married.
