When is a Wedding a 'Non-Wedding'?

We were so lucky to have Andrew & Cherie visiting us at Crusoe's Retreat. They traveled all the way from the USA and planned on getting married on our sandy beach. However, due to other circumstances (particularly, their families REALLY wanted them to get married at home so they could attend), they had to cancel their wedding plans with us. Their trip to Fiji, however, was still a GO!

Andrew and Cherie stayed with us for a week and really enjoyed their stay. While they were disappointed that they could not get married here, they most certainly got the most out of their stay at Crusoe's.

Toni, one of our new Managers, had a great idea: let's surprise them with a "Non-Wedding". So, on their last day with us, we surprised them with a wedding ceremony at Crusoe's Retreat (don't worry family - it was just a ceremony, nothing legal!). We had several staff members dress Andrew & Cherie for their wedding in colorful sulus. We decorated the beach area, and we brought in some 'witnesses'. We gave them an Unofficial Wedding, complete with Cake and Champagne.

Andrew & Cherie - Thanks for coming to Crusoe's Retreat for your Non-Wedding. It was so nice to meet you and we hope to see you again very soon!
