Dec 23rd, 2009 at 10:30AM: Cinnabon-tinged air. Mumbled overhead announcements. And a few hundred weary strangers by your side. Now that's romantic. But that's probably what Robyn Moore must've gotten when she arranged an impromptu wedding for her fiance, William Acosta, at the Corpus Christi International Airport. He arrived on his flight from Toledo, Ohio, wearing jeans and a sweater, and clutching his carry-on bags. ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Groom arrives at Corpus Christi Airport to a surprise wedding -- his own
Dec 23rd, 2009 at 10:30AM: Cinnabon-tinged air. Mumbled overhead announcements. And a few hundred weary strangers by your side. Now that's romantic. But that's probably what Robyn Moore must've gotten when she arranged an impromptu wedding for her fiance, William Acosta, at the Corpus Christi International Airport. He arrived on his flight from Toledo, Ohio, wearing jeans and a sweater, and clutching his carry-on bags. ...In the Heart of Central America: Planning a wedding or honeymoon in Honduras
Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:00AM:
Imagine walking down a lush green aisle to a small open-air wooden structure where billowy white curtains frame a view of a valley spread below and blueish mountains in the distance. An intimate group of family and friends has gathered to watch you say your vows on this hilltop and after the ceremony, they'll join you to celebrate as the sun sets and the lights of the village beneath you and ...Tie the knot or just recharge in the Riviera Maya

Oct 23rd, 2009 at 2:00PM: Hosting a destination wedding is a great way to cut down on the expenses involved in getting married. Fewer guests equal less money spent on food, drinks and invitations, and fewer tables to seat those guests means your costs for flowers and rentals like linens and chairs will also be lower. Two Sonesta resorts in St. Maarten - Sonesta Maho Beach Resort and Casino and the Sonesta Great Bay Beach ...Woman sues Hyatt after dancing wedding guest breaks her arm
Oct 21st, 2009 at 4:00PM: Weddings are a time of celebration. People like to have a few drinks, maybe hit the dance floor. But there always seems to be one guest who takes things too far - who drinks a little too much and gets a little too wild. At a wedding at a New Jersey Hyatt in 2008, that guest not only got a bit too drunk, he allegedly got so forceful on the dance floor that he broke another guest's arm. And now ...Get married at Colorado's Keystone Resort and get free season ski pass

Aug 16th, 2009 at 8:30AM:
In a continuation from yesterday on my post about Hong Kong weddings, I wanted to shed some light on the interesting history behind a prominent symbol that can be found decorating virtually every wedding in China. Double Happiness.
Sometimes translated as "double joy", or "double happy", the character itself is a ligature of two Chinese characters that mean "joy", pressed together. It's ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Love & Marriage
Aug 15th, 2009 at 8:30AM: Weddings in Hong Kong are big business. In every district, small shops advertise dress tailoring, videography or photography packages, and event planning services. Go into any of the big hotels on a weekend and you'll find over 300 people congregating in the grand ballrooms, feasting over a ten-course meal that boasts elegance and affluence. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to help a ...Ave Maria or Hava Nagila? No Need to Choose at Cabo Azul
Jun 23rd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Planning a wedding is the final test of a relationship. If a couple can survive this gauntlet of vendors and family members, the marriage has a real shot. It's even more taxing when you're putting together a destination wedding (definitely not my favorite kind). The only thing that could make this experience worse is the emotional toll exacted by interfaith struggles. If you're dealing with this ...Easyjet's jilted in the sky
Jun 2nd, 2009 at 1:00PM: easyJet was ready to help passengers walk down the aisle while walking down the aisle. The airlines plans to conduct mile-high marriage ceremonies, however, were stymied by local British bureaucrats who said they couldn't give the airline permission. Under this unusual program, pilots – like captains at sea – would have facilitated the swapping of vows.
The relevant officials in ...Say "I do" at 30,000 feet - easyJet wants to get into the wedding business
May 5th, 2009 at 2:30PM: Desperate to generate some extra cash, every airline in the world is scrambling for ways to introduce new money making services.

The airline is planning to introduce in-flight weddings on their planes, allowing couples to tie the knot at ...Marry at the House of Juliet, hope for better results
Mar 19th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Finally, there's a wedding destination for fans of Ishtar, Zima and the Dukakis campaign – among other disasters. If you want a bit of hype to your nuptials, book some space at The House of Juliet. Maybe your marriage will have a little more traction. Officials in Verona, Italy, where Shakespeare's famous play was set, will soon be used for weddings. Daniele Polato, the rocket scientist ...Boot camp yourself to wedding-dress thin
Mar 4th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Any man should know better than to talk about women and weight ... especially when it comes to fitting into a wedding dress. But, this idea is interesting enough that I'm willing to risk my safety. Live in Fitness Enterprises has put together "The Bridal Retreat," which is not as innocuous as it sounds. If you're worried about looking good for your groom in a two-piece on the honeymoon or need to ...7 steps for surviving a destination wedding
Mar 3rd, 2009 at 9:00AM: It always sounds like it's going to be fun. Your friend is getting married somewhere exotic and has invited you to come along. What's not to love? Really, everything. Destination weddings are recipes for disaster. They are even worse when it's your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend or family member who has the connection. Quickly, you find yourself surrounded by people who don't interest you in an ...Say "I do" at the airport
Jul 17th, 2008 at 10:30AM: I'm not sure if I'll ever get married, but if I do, I'm clear that I'd want it to be as quick as possible, a couple of minutes is what would work best for me. Being Indian, a wedding under four days is sacrilege, but oh well. A registered wedding at the court was what I thought the only option, a super boring option indeed, until I read in USA Today about quickie weddings possible at the airport! ...Photo of the day (02/11/08)
Feb 11th, 2008 at 9:30AM:
Granted, this photo doesn't exactly scream "travel", but who knows, the bride could have traveled from anywhere to get married at Meiji Shrine in Tokyo. Plus, Valentine's day is coming up, which gives us a little creative "travel/love" license.
It is an amazing moment the photographer, LeeLeFever, has captured here. The snow. The stunning bride, radiating happiness, surrounded by two people who ...Band on the Run: My First and Last Gig as a Hawaiian Wedding Singer
Aug 24th, 2007 at 10:08PM: Ember Swift, Canadian musician and touring performer, will be keeping us up-to-date on what it's like to tour a band throughout North America.

The wedding was beautiful. I sang my songs. There were two white doves that ...Getting Married? Here's Some Good Advice.
Aug 23rd, 2007 at 10:00AM: My recent post about the wedding at Prague's Ruzyne airport got me recalling my own marriage to Carol in 2003. Travel's a big part of our life together. Even though we're both from Auckland, we actually met in Thailand, and more often than not it's her photographs which complement my words.
When we got married we'd already been living together for several years, so certainly didn't need anything ...I Do, and Now I've Got a Plane to Catch
Aug 21st, 2007 at 1:36PM: Here's the ideal solution for those couples that always seem to flit past each other in the whirlwind of a busy life. Get married at the airport.
In a promotion organised by innovative British airline easyjet, Czech couple Miloslava Vopelkova and Robert Hruska won a wedding at Prague's Ruzyne airport. I've spent a few hours at Ruzyne, and while it's more spacious and modern than a few other ...
