Caribbean Islands Wedding and Honeymoon Planning

All islanders welcome honeymooners, but not all have laws that make it possible for non-residents easily and conveniently to be married there.

If you have your heart set on a particular island, check out its legal requirements (look for the Getting Married link on most GTCV island homepages).

It may be more practical to have a religious ceremony at home, followed by a civil one in the tropics. Much of it is determined by the time you have.

Some islands want a lengthy residence (6 months!). Others will marry you as soon as you fill out the paperwork.

Or you may wonder if it isn't easier to take a cruise honeymoon and be married at sea?

This section isn't to rehash the legal requirements described with the individual islands. Instead, it's to show you some of the possibilities.
