Row-Mantic Valentine’s Day Voyager, with Tropical Sky!

Here at Tropical Sky we pride ourselves on being the wedding abroad experts. We have a dedicated team who take care of your wedding arrangements whether you’re looking to get married on safari, want a cultural fusion ceremony in Thailand or prefer to tie the knot in the tropical and romantic Caribbean.
So, when couple Neil Ward and Louise Robertson came to us to arrange their wedding in the Caribbean, we were delighted to assist. Little did we know however that the groom planned to row across the Atlantic to Barbados to meet his bride-to-be! Now that’s what we call “Row-Mantic”!

Ski instructor, Louise said she had no idea where or how they wanted to get married, but Neil joked he’d row the Atlantic just to marry her. That idea obviously stuck, so having decided on the Caribbean, Louise threw down the gauntlet to Tropical Sky to make that happen. Tropical Sky has arranged some unusual weddings in the past, from ceremonies with elephants in Sri Lanka to saying nuptials on the tip of the Grand Canyon with a horse-drawn wagon for transport, but this one was definitely different!

We rose to the challenge though, so that by the time avid adventurer Neil left the port of San Sebastian La Gomera in the Canary Islands on the 4th January 2010, all was arranged. Getting hitched didn’t go entirely without a hitch and we had to quickly re-arrange the wedding date to Saturday February 13th to accommodate Neil’s delayed arrival. One day out after rowing the Atlantic Ocean isn’t bad going really and is the perfect excuse for the groom to assume the bride’s usual prerogative of being late on the wedding day!

To celebrate of Neil’s fantastic achievement and Louise’s astonishing faith in her soon-to-be hubby, we’ve put together a special “Row-Mantic” Caribbean Wedding Package – with only a one-way flight included! So if any other adventure junkies want to try their hand at crossing the Atlantic themselves, Tropical Sky already has the perfect ready –made solution. It starts from £1,182 per person. The price includes seven nights all-inclusive in a deluxe pool/garden view room, one-way flights with Virgin Atlantic, resort transfers and a free wedding to incorporate ceremony charges, wedding coordinator, Champagne, wedding cake, flowers and more.

Swimming, rowing, surfing or snorkeling, or even if you prefer a more conventional approach to getting married in the Caribbean, call us on 0845 543 2203 to make your special day even more special!
