Alicia and I met in College at the University of Missouri-Rolla in 2003. We started dating in the spring of 2004 and have been together ever since. I proposed to Alicia on Thanksgiving 2006. We knew right away that we wanted to do a destination wedding and have been planning this dream wedding ever since.

Our wedding will be held at Couples San Souci in beautiful Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The wedding will be held at 10 am right on the beach on Wednesday December 23rd, 2009.

There will be a short wedding reception following the ceremony. Cake and champagne will be provided. This will be the perfect time for toasts and to enjoy the steel drum band. After the reception we will be doing photos. Following that we will most likely all eat lunch together at either the buffet or beach grill. Then that evening we will be dining at the Ristorante Casanova.

If you are unable to stay at this resort because of that, there are other great resorts right around the area that allow singles. A great example for a single would be Hedonism III in Runaway Bay. If you have to stay at another resort, Couples San Souci offers full day, half day, and wedding passes. The prices are $200 for the full day, $100 for the half day, and $50 for a 2 hour wedding pass. The pass entitles you to all the food and beverages you want.

We are so happy that so many of our friends and family are going to join us on our special day. The count is up to 28 guests!
