Follow Sean - The Jamaica Wedding

November 21st, 2008 by Sean - NWA WorldVacations

The main reason we took this vacation was to attend our friend’s destination wedding. Their Jamaica wedding was at Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica and was probably the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to!

Let me set the scene for you. Imagine sitting on a large stone patio in the shade of palm trees, over looking a gorgeous sand beach on the aqua blue waters of the Caribbean Sea all while the sun is setting, a violin playing “Pachelbel’s canon” and white Orchid flower pedals filling the aisle…it can’t get much more perfect than that! The wedding message was also just as amazing as the setting and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. As the couple kissed to finalize their union it looked like the sun exploded out of a cloud shooting rays every direction as if God was putting His blessing on the marriage.

Then it came time for the party! We were served a meal that consisted of steak, Jamaican jerk shrimp, various vegetables, and wedding cake. The couple entertained us all with a choreographed dance routine that had everyone cheering by the end. The DJ started up and the crowd moved to the dance floor where the ocean breeze blew through and we danced the night away. Both my wife and I were truly in awe of this wedding and thought if we could do it all over again that we would do a destination wedding…maybe for our 10 year renewal of our vows (only 9 more years to go!).

If anyone is thinking of having a destination wedding I must suggest going to Jamaica. We saw a couple weddings at our Sandals resort and there were other weddings booked at the Half Moon and all of them looked stunning.

As I mentioned in my previous post, on the night before the wedding, we attended the entertainment at Sandals and the band was great! They did a mix of oldies to popular songs and they had the dance floor packed. I am adding it to the list of things that I loved at Sandals.

This vacation just keeps getting better and better and we are getting sad to leave tomorrow and head back to Minnesota. Look for my wrap up post tomorrow about tips for a Jamaica vacation and my list of things I want to do the next time I go and that you should check out.

Thanks for inviting us Emily and Venny and giving us an excuse to take a Jamaica vacation!

Oh, and yes they really do say “Yeah Mon!”…I love it here!
