Looking back I'm glad we did what we did as the wedding preparations took so much out of me - not to mention the day itself it would have been a shame to fly all that way and not appreciate it (I slept for the journey and first 2 days)

I got married in june this year and we done a carribbean cruise and it was AMAZING!! It was a Princess cruise and was gorgeous.
We got engaged in Cancun, Mexico and i REALLY REALLY recommend the Golden Crown Paradise Spa (although im sure it has sinc changed it's name)., that holiday was fantastic!!

We wanted to have something special for our wedding but couldn't afford a decent do here so we looked at prices abroad and did both wedding and 2 week honeymoon in jamaica for a fraction of what it would have cost to have it here. Truly a wonderful country with fantastic people. had the best time of my life.

We're going to Mexico!
He was lucky enough to only have to do half his tour and he came home in August and I'm now 11+3.
I'll be 17+4 when we fly so won't be taking advantage of the all inclusive or unfortunately going on any adventurous trips but I'm so ecstatic to be pregnant none of that really matters.
It'll be 2 weeks of relaxation and the hotel and resort look fabulous! x
Congrats on your engagement (and your pregnancy too!). I went to the Maldives on holiday in September 2006 and had a wonderful time, so would highly recommend it (especially if you like getting away from it all and relaxing on the beach lots). As another poster said, the weather can be bad around August/September, so its worth doing your homework on potential weather (here's a useful website showing typical weather information for different destinations: http://www.weather2travel.com/ I'd also recommend looking at www.tripadvisor.co.uk under the forums for information from people that have been to different hotels/islands).
The week that we were there was boiling hot everyday and with just a couple of overcast mornings. But the previous week had been torrential rain everyday according to the island's workers/longer term residents.
I got married earlier this year in May -we had our wedding in Mauritius and then a honeymoon straight after in the Seychelles. - Mauritius and the Seychelles were definitely expensive (but worth it!). In comparison, we thought the Maldives was comparable and just as idyllic (but better value really, particularly if you go all inclusive in the maldives because it often includes all drinks).
If you have any questions then let me know.
