A wedding is a civil or religious ceremony at which the beginning of a marriage is celebrated. Wedding ceremonies may contain any number of different elements; however, most contain wedding vows of some kind and a proclamation of marriage, usually by the efficient. Other elements may include music, poetry, prayer, scripture, or other traditions. Recently in some cultures, same-sex weddings have begun to be celebrated. Nevertheless, every couple is looking for better wedding getaway!
Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island with a difference. It can be named one of the most both popular and exotic wedding getaways. Puerto Rico enjoys a warm, tropical climate with temperatures of around 82?F (27?C) throughout the year. It has the pristine beaches, tropical climate, crystal-blue sea and coconut palms characteristic of its counterparts, but along with its unmistakable Spanish colonial heritage, the island also has a first world infrastructure mixed in with its traditional Latin American culture. It is a hybrid of old and new which makes it an intriguing destination, rather than just another tropical island paradise. Coral reefs edging the island are also one of the reasons why Puerto Rico is often called the Caribbean's best kept underwater secret...
One of the things that makes Puerto Rico different to other Caribbean wedding getaways and resorts is that it remains largely undeveloped, except for the coastal region around its capital city, San Juan with strips of high-rise beachfront hotels. Exploring Puerto Rico, both around its coast and the interior, is a delight. Roads are excellent and there are numerous interesting attractions and unrivalled experiences, from the world's largest radio telescope to the magical experience of swimming at night amongst tiny phosphorescent creatures on the offshore island of Vieques. It is a perfect wedding getaway for those who love nature and travel!
Puerto Rico has some of the best white sandy beaches in the Caribbean, all easily reached from San Juan on this compact island. Let it be your wedding getaway! The capital city itself boasts good but commercialised beaches at Isla Verde and Condado. Extremely popular for wedding getaways, about 19 miles (30km) east of San Juan is Luquillo, with a clear shallow lagoon in a crescent-shaped bay, edged with coconut palms. The beaches on the southern coast have calm water; the northern coast tends to be rough and less safe for swimming, although it offers some good surfing spots.
Located on three promontories on the extreme northeast corner of the island, Las Cabezas reserve is one of the most beautiful natural areas and best wedding getaways in Puerto Rico. The reserve is close to Fajardo, a major marina and diving resort, about an hour's drive from San Juan. The area offers pristine beaches ideal for snorkeling. The reserve contains seven different ecological systems including coral reefs, sandy beaches, lagoons, mangroves and dry forest. It is also home to several endangered species. Boardwalk trails provide easy access. A restored 19th century lighthouse, El Faro, is situated on one of the headlands and offers an information centre and observation deck. It is a wonderful wedding getaway!
