For Fans of Fishing
A beautiful, clear day out on the water casting for reef fish or luring a bigger prize farther out may sound like nirvana to you and your new husband or wife. A number of Sandals Resorts properties in Jamaica are prime locations for a fishing trip. If you ' re staying at Sandals Negril, plan a reef fishing adventure close to the shore, where grouper and bonefish can be found. Off the coast of Ocho Rios, cast your line for snapper, kingfish and blue marlin on a deep-sea fishing trip, or lure mahi-mahi and barracuda in the waters near Montego Bay. Catching a barracuda during your destination wedding trip would be a fish story to remember!
For History Buffs
Is one of you a history teacher? Do you lose track of time watching the History Channel or easily become engrossed in a historical novel? You’ re lucky, because it’ s easy to incorporate history into weddings at allinclusive resorts in Mexico and Jamaica. Beach Palace in Cancun is a mere 10 minutes from the famed El Rey ruins. Put yourself at the center of this pre-Colombian Mayan settlement and imagine what life was like at this archaeological remnant of a commercial port dating back to 1200-1500 CE. Just a few miles from Hotel Riu Palace Jamaica is a site from more recent history: The Rose Hall Great House. Tour this historical property built as a plantation house in 1734( later serving as the home of the legendary Johnny Cash), find out about the murder and intrigue surrounding some of its former occupants and if you’ re lucky, catch sight of one of the many ghosts rumored to haunt its storied halls.

For Nature Lovers
Do you love camping? Is your wedding registry at REI? Then you may want to book your destination wedding at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort in Cancun where you can take an eco-tour through the jungle with your guests and learn about mangroves and Maya culture. Bike to on-property cenotes and dive into one of these natural sinkholes, or swim between the mangroves in a river. If your home base is Riu Palace Costa Mujeres or Riu Palace Costa Rica, book a horseback riding adventure on the beach for you and your wedding party. Of all the occasions you’ ve been astride these majestic animals, you’ ll remember the time you were wearing a bathing suit, splashing through the salty surf and sporting your brand-new wedding band.
