That would sound reasonable since it was a Dutchside wedding as opposed to a Frenchside wedding, and I'm thinking you meant you had a pastor of choice officiate on the beach at Cupecoy since I don't know of any churches there........though perhaps I'm just not aware of them.
One of the nicest weddings we ever attended was a destination wedding in the Bahamas.......and while they skimped on absolutely nothing - from the Vera Wang dress to the white carpet leading to the beachside altar at sunset to the white glove cocktail hour, to a formal sit down dinner for the hundred guests in attendance. It required a lot of planning but it certainly was considerably less costly than a wedding at home in Manhattan with two or three hundred guests in attendance. Best thing though, was the guests there were the people who really cared about the bride and groom and truly wanted to be a part of their special day. They blocked the majority of the hotel and had events from Friday afternoon right through to a Sunday brunch the day after the service......it was truly a lovely event. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
