View Full Version : beach wedding
We wish to marry over xmas in sunny isles but we dont know how to set the ball rolling ..could anyone advise on a beach ceremony? :)
Hi
My partner, Drew, and myself are planning to marry early next year too and I can't decide whether to marry in Florida or Carribean but would ideally like a beach wedding, so would be interested in your replies also. Where are you planning? As this is second time around for us, it seems easier and simpler in Florida to tie the knot. Possible locations are the gulf coast or Polynesian (WDW)- any other ideas, anyone?
this is the second time round for us too but we need to get started as we want to do it this christmas ..sunny isles is ideal for us as we went there together on out very first holiday with each other ..oh btw we are flying out to orlando in 2 weeks time too!:D
My husband and I got married eight years ago in Antigua. It was the most special romantic day, the sun shon and the see looked idylic.
The best part of the day was the walk along the beach in our wedding attire, bottle of champagne in hand and only the stars for company.
Good luck for wherever you choose, I am sure it will be equally as special!:D

We watched a couple getting married on the beach at St Petes in Florida, it was lovely. If you do decide to get married in Florida make sure if you choose the rainy season that its all voer before 4pm though. Every day when we were there in August the heavens opened at about that time.:)
december we plan to marry ..but we really need some help as how to get a vicar or registrar and all of that ..could someone please help lol
btw ..does know of any cheap villas on collins avenue sunny isles ..we were goign on our own but the news has spread and it appears all the family wish to accompany us lol:D

Hi Tricax,
A beach wedding sounds beautiful. But as Ray and Sarah said, watch that rainy season[msnwink]Christmas time would be great. Have you thought of Disney at all[?]The Grand Floridian on the edge of the lake by MK is beautiful, and of course there is a beach setting by the pavillion;)My husband and I took a stroll down there a few years ago, and wished we had done it there[msnsmile]. We have both done it twice before, and I need more practice,I didn't get the day right either time[msnmad]just the bloke this time around:D

A buddy of mine got married on Coco Beach last year. If you want I can call him, find out who to call?
Here's the info on the requirements for getting married in Florida.
Couples wishing to say "I do" simply need to visit any county courthouse in the State to obtain a marriage license. The ceremony can be performed the same day a license is obtained. (Different requirements, such as a waiting period and premarital course apply for state residents. However, these laws do not apply to out-of-state residents getting married in Florida. Non-Florida-resident couples simply pay the $88.50 license fee. There is no waiting period involved and counseling is not required.
You must both attend in person, bring picture ID (passport is acceptable). If divorced or widowed, you need the divorce papers or death certificate.
Here's some wording of a civil ceremony http://www.troyfain.com/wedding.htm
Try here for beach weddings http://iwedyou.com/ or do an internet search and you'll find lots of them.
Good luck!

You're a mind of information! How do you do it?
Now, that'd be telling... :D
A friend from work as just returned from getting married on the beach at Naples them honeymoon on Marco Island, for a price a lot more resonable than doing it back in the UK. They then had a bit of a night do for all the ones who couldn't make it over there.
there are a few companies on the web who do advertise the full package,(due to villas also being rented I have not put the link, but if uo dm me I can pass it on).
They had a great time.:)
I've been researching a lot on Florida weddings this year as we're getting married next Sep over there.
Decided against a beach wedding, not very private and at times sand can blow about, plus if it rains then your in trouble!!
We ended up picking Sanibel Island for our wedding, heard so many good reports.
Here is a list of sites to get married in florida

We're going over for 3 weeks, renting a villa in Orlando for 1 week, travel down to Sanibel/Captiva island for 3 days, get married and then travel throughout Florida on honeymoon (Fort Lauderdale/Miami/the Keys etc)
Good Luck

Apologies, didnt realise i couldnt post a link

Hi James
Sorry. It's OK to post links but you need to make really sure first that they don't have any other links to villas, car rental or theme park tickets. We check them all and unfortunately, the two you posted did have a link to something else.
