Beginning January 16, 2015 at 1600 hours, 16 couples from the United States (America) will get married on 16 Islands of The Bahamas. “The campaign, launched last year in the United States when couples were invited to enter a competition to have an all-expense paid wedding in The Bahamas.

At the time, it was said a great outcome would be to have 400 people enter the competition. However, the Ministry of Tourism is delighted to report “Over 3,000 couples entered, which had to be narrowed down to 16 winning couples,”  according to Joy Jibrilu, Director General of Tourism for the Bahamas. According to the director general, the popularity and quality of the promotion is well-known and regarded as the most innovative campaign launched by the Ministry of Tourism.

eWedNewz has been watching the campaign since it began last summer. Overseeing the promotion, Jacqueline Johnson of Marry Caribbean.com has been meticulously monitoring each step of the process, dealing with the selection of featured vendors and which 16 couples out of thousands were chosen to take their vows next week. “It’s been a very pleasant experience dealing with our vendors, who’ve shown their professionalism and ability dealing with selected couples, making sure every detail is perfectly executed,” said Johnson today.

Among the participating vendors, Mon Cheri Bridals  has been busy outfitting the brides in new designs for the destination events. Owner and head of the company, Steve Lang told eWedNewz he’s already busy with designs and marketing for next season but is overseeing the Caribbean promotion with plans of expanding the company’s involvement.

New for Spring 2015 Michael Kors in black Desire, gray Passion and midnight blue Fantasy.

For the men, top formal wear label, Michael Kors products furnished by FLOW Formals through 1888mytuxes will make sure the men look equally as dapper next to the women. 1888mytuxes, recent winners of  best formal wear provider in their New York market for the sixth time, reports brisk demand and interest in Michael Kors products. “The couples immediately identified with the name Michael Kors  when we explained their choices,” according to Joyce Gill and Jennifer Galletta, owners and men’s formal wear coordinators for the promotion.

So the fittings complete, the plans finalized. All that’s left is getting the couples to their destinations and help usher them into a life of united bliss. For those of us watching, we wish each of them a lifetime of happiness in the years ahead and their life together.
