Romance is the expressive and generally congenial feeling emanating from an emotional attraction towards another person. It normally involves a great sensation of excitement and mystery. What better way to enjoy that feeling than in the company of that special someone in an exotic, tropical paradise?
Belize is a popular and unique wedding destination. With numerous landscapes, tropical climate all year round, beautiful beaches, and ancient Maya temples, a destination wedding in Belize gives you the opportunity to escape to an amazing location and spend quality time with your loved ones, all the while celebrating your marriage with your true love.
When you think about it, a destination wedding is an excellent idea! There are a few places that can make things grand, and make you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere or, quite literally, on top of the world. While beach weddings are beautiful, have you ever thought about getting married on a Maya Ruin? For the more adventurous couple, nothing is more majestic and exciting than a ceremony at an ancient Maya Temple. There’s always a sense of greater purpose when you’re standing on an ancient temple saying your vows to each other.
In Belize, you can seal your love on top of one of Belize’s many beautiful and mysterious Maya Sites. The two most popular sites in the Cayo District are Cahal Pech and Xunatunich.
