Fairytale weddings

I have talked about my "someday husband" in an earlier post and how we've been engaged for several years now with no date set. The mention of us getting married came up in our conversation at home the other day as it often does. I have been married before and although a big fancy wedding would be wonderful I'm not against the idea of a small wedding. My "someday husband" Justin on the other hand has never been married and wants it to be big and beautiful with lots of family and friends around. He wants to get married at Disney world. I'm a dreamer and a princess wedding would be magical but he's a MEGA dreamer and a Disney wedding, now that's just about pushing the limits of dreaming. Don't get me wrong I would kill to ride up in Cinderella's carriage to a ceremony in front of the castle with music playing and huge bouquets of flowers everywhere.  Wearing the most beautiful princess inspired dress. Side note, what the hell Alfred Angelo?  Let's just close up out of the blue. Now how am I supposed to wear a princess inspired dress? Okay,  sorry just had to get that out there. Back to topic. Where was I?  Oh yes, Disney fairytale weddings. I've planned countless ones on their wedding site. Small ones that only include 4 people and cost as little as 4k to big ones with all the fancy trimming priced upwards of $25,000 dollars. Just the other day I planned one for around 15k and that's when it hit me.

  People love destination weddings and we want to move to one of those beautiful destinations. Good-bye snorkeling tours hello wedding venue.
  Every day we could make people's dreams come true on the happiest day of their life. I'm loving this idea. Justin he's still stuck on the snorkeling tours thing. That's so last week for me. Lol.
Idea forming.....Duh! We could combine both. We could offer out to sea weddings and sunset cruises. We could do snorkeling trips for the bride and groom or their guests. We could make it an all inclusive wedding venue with bungalows and gardens. We could offer wedding packages that include the ceremony,  reception, pictures, tours, flowers and lodging. I frantically searched St. Croix for a piece of property that was large enough to build my dream on. I found one! $475,000  for 4.6 acres. The best part is the property around it is empty, it's for sale and someday there could be something there but for now privacy.  I could work with that. It's a waterfront lot with a rising elevation up to '100. Ideas started forming in my head. I could put a ceremony platform near the top of the property. It would offer unlimited views of the crystal blue Caribbean for the guests while the bride and groom promise  each other forever. Moving down the hill a little ways I could plant gardens of tropical flowers and greenery.  The perfect place to do wedding photos of the newlyweds.  Moving farther down towards the water a reception area where the friends and family could give their toasts and wish the newlyweds  happiness in their new life. Music would fill the air long into the night as they take part in all the wedding  traditions. Then when their ready to retire for the night bungalows would be waiting for them on the beach.
I worked up the courage to call the owner of the property. The phone rang 'Hello' he says and then we got disconnected. I stood there phone in my hand trying to decide if I should call back again. I gave myself a pep talk and dialed again. This time it worked, we spent over a half an hour talking about the property and my ideas. Although there is currently an offer in on the piece of property I wanted as well as the surrounding properties he still took the time to try to help me by thinking of other properties he knew of on the island. In the end it worked out for the best because I honestly don't know where I would have come up with the money to do all of this. I did make a friend though and hope to someday meet them if we end up moving to the Virgin islands.

Who knew? Amazon has bouquets! Is there anything you can't get on Amazon.com? I'm tempted to check if they have husbands or wives. Just kidding!
