Caribbean wedding!

A wedding in the Caribbean is simply the best. You get to spend a week in the sun with family and friends and everyone gets to share in the wedding bliss. It is truly an amazing experience and we are so looking forward to the wedding. After being part of Craig and Izzy's wedding in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, we knew we had to follow suit and do something similar. Especially after everyone told us we had to get married down south or else. Heh heh. So there you have it. Get your DOWN SOUTH wedding on! Woohoo!
