To Sukie and Sosso
I went married last year in the sand of Cabarete. My wife and I chose the beach spot that is right on what is called Punta Goleta (not the hotel but actually the place) very near of Dare2Fly. It's easily recognizably (I hope I wrote it well), there are rocks and a flag there, I assume dividing the beach for kiteboarders and windsurfers. There is a house right on that spot. We asked the owners and they let us use it to park the cars safely. We married on july 12th at 7:00 p.m. The sun was hiding on the west and the full moon was rising on the northeast. The sky was very clear and thanks to God we couldn't spend so much decorating the place because it would be worthless. The moon did it all. I suggest to marry on a full moon night.
We put some torches on the sand that didn't work because of the wind.
It was the best wedding ceremony I've ever been. Simple but beautiful. Almost everybody were on their bare feet. The children didn't get bored. The wind didn't allow anybody to sweat, as is usual on DR. Usually is easier for the bride to choose the right costume. My wife was beatiful. The problem, I think, comes when you have to choose what the groom is going to wear. I wore a very light "lino" (I don't know hoe to translate in english) pants and a very light hindu "lino" button-less shirt. My wife was on her bare feet. I was so nervous I forgot to take out my sandals, but I was supposed to do so also.
I hope this helps, girls. Good luck!!
