Love is in the Air in the Florida Keys
THE FLORIDA KEYS, CA, January 31, 2006. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, where better to let romance take hold of you than in the Florida Keys ? This string of islands offers beautiful views, stunning sunsets, fabulous hotels and a relaxed attitude to life that lends itself perfectly to honeymoons or just a romantic getaway with your amour. Why not go one step further and take your vows on the beach - or in one of the Keys' other unique settings?
No matter how unusual your dream, Keys wedding planners can cater to your wishes. Diving fans can get hitched underwater, which should come as no surprise since the entire island chain is surrounded by the clear azure waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Key Largo is home to the world's only underwater hotel, where dive buddies can honeymoon in sub-sea solitude.
You might fall in love with the idea of having a bottlenose dolphin witness your nuptials at the water's edge, or marry amid clouds of exotic butterflies in a huge glass-enclosed conservatory. It's also possible to say "I do" while kayaking the tranquil waters of the Florida Keys backcountry. With its open and accepting attitude, Key West is a hit for couples planning same-sex commitment ceremonies as well as traditional weddings.
Costumed couples have even tied the knot aboard a float during the parade that highlights Fantasy Fest, Key West's outrageous masking and costuming festival held each October. Alternatively, you can dress in a traditional buccaneer's garb, and marry on board one of the island city's many tall ships. Culture vultures can add a touch of class to their big day by sealing their vows in the gardens of Ernest Hemingway's former home, or tying the knot with presidential approval at former president Harry S. Truman's Little White House.
In fact, whether you are tying the knot or not, the Keys offer a wealth of ways for you and your loved one to rediscover each other. Be it beneath the whispering leaves of a palm tree, on a secluded beach, or watching the sun dip below the horizon with a cocktail in your hand, realise your romantic dreams in the Florida Keys.
