Gregg & Denise chose Great Guana Cay in the Abacos islands of the Bahamas as the location for their destination wedding. The invitations read:
"We've decided on a destination wedding... and the location is as unique as our love!
So, in our island lovin', sandal wearin', sand in your suit, boat until the sun goes down style... we would love to invite you to join us for a week in paradise!"
The ceremony took place on the beach at Orchid Bay, with stunning views of the ocean and barrier reef. The wind picked up, and clouds darkened as the guests were seated. Rain drops chased everyone under the shelter of the pavillion for just a few minutes, but the skies cleared and the sun peeked out just long enough for the ceremony.
Everyone smiled as Gregg watched Denise walk down the sand aisle. He bit his lip as their eyes met and gave her a big smile.
Gregg told a group of us the night before the wedding how he first met Denise. How he saw her from a distance, looking cute in her hard hat. He knew. He told us he had a hankering for her. "awwwwwwwww..." we all exclaimed. Sweet guy.
The beautiful details & wedding planning were taken care of by Wedding/Events Coordinator Patrice Cooper of P & F Party Rentals & Supplies, Cooper's Town, Abaco, Bahamas. If you need assistance planning your wedding in the Bahamas, be sure to contact Patrice at pfpartyrentals@hotmail.com, she will take great care of you!
This rock formation was just perfect to frame a bride and groom. Isn't her dress just gorgeous?
Guests braved the rain and travelled in a caravan of golf carts to the Panoramic View, a grand home at the highest point on the island for a fantastic dinner including locally caught grouper and lobster.
The cake was decorated with frosting shells and coral... delicious!
Denise was a radiant, beautiful bride. She is a sweet soul and a perfect match for Gregg. This is a couple full of life, laughs and love.
It was St. Patrick's Day, and the guests consisting of 30 friends and family danced into the night.
and this is how every island wedding should end...
Cheers, Denise & Gregg! To a long & happy life together!
