Why did they chose the Turks & Caicos for their wedding and honeymoon? "We wanted to have our wedding virtually stress free, far away, and on a beautiful beach with turquoise water. We kept running across wonderful reviews about the Turks & Caicos online, which mostly exclaimed that it was a ÔBest Kept Secret' and that it wouldn't remain that way much longer..."

While here they stayed at Ocean Club East. The wedding took place on the beach. Friends flew in from Florida and Missouri. The couple will reside in Texas.

When asked - who would you like to thank or acknowledge for making your stay memorable? "We would love to thank our wedding coordinator, Beatrix Neuhaus, who made things absolutely beautiful and organized - gracefully; our wonderful photographer, Heather, for doing a great job on our photos and making things fun; Chris, for putting together a entertaining video with perfect music. Brigitte at Captain Hook's for the hair do and Virginia for the cake. Also, I would like to thank the people of Turks & Caicos for being so friendly and kind to us while we were here. Especially, Jamo from Ocean Club Resort East, for making us feel so welcomed always and our favorite girl on the island, Leona, from Calico Jacks."
