Many couples intending to get married now automatically consider doing this outside of their own country as it is
so much easier to do these days. Even though America has a large number of spectacular beaches, it is also true for them as well. They are also opting for far off places and favoring Caribbean beach wedding as an option. This is simply because the beaches are not as well kept as those that are found in the Caribbean as they are the main reason why tourists actually spend time on these Caribbean Islands.
Since the climate in the Caribbean is more conducive than the US, you can hold a wedding in the beaches anytime of the year you choose. 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. 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. This can be doubly convenient where the wedding and the honeymoon can happen at the same venue.
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. The only thing to be considered really is the individual legal requirements of the island you intend to have your Caribbean beach wedding on. 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 probably have to wait for some time before the ceremony can take place and you might also have to obtain a marriage license before the wedding. Be prepared to pay anything up to 300 dollars for the wedding license (depending on the venue) but they can be as low as 50 dollars – bear this in mind. Another critical point to remember is that the couple should be familiar with all the passport regulations and must carry valid passports before they take the flight to the Caribbean beach wedding. Of course you would not like to be deported from your wedding venue simply because you are not in possession of a valid passport, right?

Congratulations to the happy? couple.
Our wedding isn't til December, which seems ages away too! You're getting MARRIED in the caribbean?? How dreamy! I can't wait to hear all about it!
I agree. I'm currently planning my destination wedding / Caribbean honeymoon package and Barbados seems like a great place but I haven't really heard much about it! I feel like with $40 million invested I would have heard something? Maybe they should target people planning honeymoon travel?
It may be enough time, but you should be aware that not everyone can or wants to spend that much money on you and your fiance.
Of course you can back out. You have two very good reasons – time and money.
You don't have to tell her you think you're better than the other members of the bridal party (drinking, etc) or that you refuse to spend a moment apart from your spouse. Be honest about the real reason you can't go – you can't afford it.
