(Continued...) For all its watersports options,
however, we found plenty of diversions on land as well. After
our fun in the sun, we headed for the shade of the billiards
room to challenge each other to a game and to consider the evening's
choices. Sandals Royal Bahamian has eight gourmet restaurants
and, although the Caribbean restaurant and the Mediterranean
show kitchen each sounded tempting that night, we opted for the
classical French eatery. Soon we were seated at the intimate
restaurant that overlooked the pool, which was aglow with the
moon's first beams.
"Would you like to see our
wine list?" asked our white-suited waiter.
We looked at each other for a
moment and habitual budget concerns came to mind. Then, remembering
where we were, we quickly smiled across the table. "Yes,
please, we would," answered John.
The all-inclusive package made
our Sandals trip easy, just as the WeddingMoon has made thousands
of couples' weddings both easy and memorable. From our couples
massage to our days on the beach to the chance to order from
menus devoid of prices, the resort helped us relax. Similarly
the WeddingMoon helps couples to take the tension out of a wedding
day. "Have fun, take lots of pictures, don't stress,"
said wedding coordinator McKenzie. "We're stressing for
you. Be prepared to have fun and a wonderful honeymoon."
WHEN YOU MARRY THERE
Fees: $40 for marriage license (included in WeddingMoon package)
Applications and/or Documents
Required: Both the bride and groom need to bring certified birth
certificates or passports as well as a completed wedding information
form supplied by Sandals. If either party has previously been
married, a final divorce decree judgment or former spouse's death
certificate is needed. Divorce papers must be certified and notarized;
the Registars' Office in Nassau will keep these divorce documents,
so couples are asked to make their own copies of the documents
prior to their arrival in Nassau. If one party has had a name
change, adoption or name change papers are necessary. Also, if
official documents are in a language other than English, couples
will need to bring legal translations of all documents.
Waiting Period: 24 hours
Witnesses: Yes; can be provided by the resort
Blood Test: no
