Desiring a Destination Wedding!

In that fleeting moment between when I saw my boyfriend drop to his knee and ask me to marry him, and when I fell into his arms crying “Yes”, a thousand colorful images burst in my mind! I saw white-sand beaches, gorgeous flowers in vibrant hues, an ocean the perfect shade of aqua, and a beautiful dress flowing in the sea breeze.

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to get married on a beach. Even as a child, I never enjoyed living in a landlocked state so far from the beaches and the water that I love so much. I got very lucky that my fiancé feels the same way.

 

Like many couples, my fiancé and I had already talked about the “what if’s” of marriage. So, by the time we got engaged we knew that a destination wedding was what WE wanted, but what would our families think?

 

It’s a question that you have to ask yourself. Even though your marriage will be about you and your new partner, you will learn very quickly (if you haven’t already) that your wedding is a celebration of more than just you. It is about your families and your friends, and everyone will have an opinion. Embrace their opinions, and listen to their advice, but in the end you have to decide what is best for you.

Once we had made our decision and gotten most of our family and friends on board, we had to pick a location. Narrowing down our options started with a list of what was most important to us.

Admittedly I was a step ahead of most in narrowing down our location options having grown up around the travel industry. I knew that I wanted to get married in Mexico. One of the most beautiful beaches I had ever seen was located in the Riviera Maya, but sadly there were no resorts there that could facilitate weddings. I immediately went to my parents (who also happened to be my travel agents) with my list of demands (requests).

Without hesitation they directed us to the El Dorado Resorts by Karisma. In fact, they informed us that they would only trust our wedding to a Karisma resort. Based on our desire for an immaculate beach, and an intimate location we knew almost right away that El Dorado Maroma was where we wanted to be. It is a small boutique resort with only 99 rooms, and it is on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world according to the Travel Channel.
