BAHAMAS 16 ISLANDS Brides INVITATION

Last year The Bahamas Tourist office in the UK made an irresistible romantic proposal, to invite 16 engaged couples to get married simultaneously across the 16 main Islands of the Bahamas. Each Island offered a unique way to say “I do”. On the 16th of May 2012, each of these lucky couple’s dream Bridess became a reality. They secured this opportunity of a lifetime by responding to the Brides invitation and uploading a video or sending a picture with 50 words explaining which Island Brides they would prefer to win and why. More than 250 entries were received, thousands of votes were cast and 16 couples were finally picked. One of the 16 Bridess was chosen by the public vote, and the rest of the winning 16 entries were chosen by a judging panel comprising Miranda Eason, Editor of You & Your Brides magazine, Pippa Jacks of Travel Trade Gazette, and Tommy Thompson, Deputy Director General, Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.

As well as winning a personally tailored Bahamian island ceremony(sponsored by travel specialist Kuoni and leading UK jewellers Goldsmiths) each couple got to choose Brides rings up to the value of £500 courtesy of Goldsmiths and the lucky bride got to choose a designer bridal gown from the Tia range by Benjamin Roberts. Local partners were also found on each of the 16 islands to provide accommodation, Brides planning and videography for each individual Brides.

Sixteen different Brides packages were put together, ranging from beautifully simple and romantic beach ceremonies to some unusual and adventurous events - a destination Brides with a difference!
Over the next 16 days, we will share with you each of these truly unique and romantic Bridess. Starting tomorrow with Sarah Wassell and Colin Beechey of Blackpool with their “tropical dream” Brides on Long Island, the Bahamas.
