Real Wedding: Shanley & Rebekka

Shanley and Rebekka were a fabulous couple to work with. Rebekka was one of the most organized brides I've worked with. Working in the technology field, she stored all her information on her computer (which she carried everywhere) and in order to have access to her wedding information I had to learn a new computer program (patiently taught by Rebekka herself). :)

On March 7, 2010, at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, Shanley and Rebekka "submitted" themselves to each other in front of 140 friends and family members. Their personally written vows bought many to tears. You could feel the love, care and concern they share for each other. They will forever have a special place in my heart!

Yacht Weddings...Sail Away

Most couples "tie the knot" on land, but some brides and grooms are opting to say "I do" on water.

I recently spoke to Melanie C. and this is what she said about her yacht wedding on Sun Dream Yacht Charters: "The staff was attentive and no one went unnoticed. Everyone had a great time and raved about the food! The Captain performed my ceremony and he was wonderful. When I think what I would have paid at a hotel for the same thing, it was a steal!"

Hosting your wedding on a luxury yacht can be an intimate, fun, exciting and memorable experience for you and your guests.
