Tahiti
and her islands have been well known for years as being romantic destinations
for lovers and honeymooners. Deserted islands, seldomly frequented beaches, and
the traditional Tahitian culture beckon to new lovers as exotic, picturesque and
relaxing places to really get to know one another...
There aren't many distractions: Just
the wonderfully soothing ocean and
wind sounds and the beauty of the
natural tropical scenery all around
you. Moonlight walks along the beaches,
warm waters perfect for swimming day
or night, and romantic dinners in
French restaurants are what romance
is all about... and the Tahitian islands
have it all.
TAHITI
SUN TRAVEL gets many requests from newlyweds, soon to be married people, and
people who want to find information about romantic ideas, traditional wedding
ceremonies, renewing wedding vows, or unique getaways specifically for lovers.
This page is a good starting point for ideas, links, and information..
Polynesian marriages can basically be divided into 3 categories:
"LEGAL"
MARRIAGE
Many people decide French Polynesia would be a wonderful
place to get married. IT IS, however, there are some basic things to know when
planning a legally recognized wedding...
For starters, you should see what you're in for by going to our
LEGAL FORMALITIES section and reading about the Polynesian laws and legal matters pertaining to the issue. After familiarizing yourself with these "rules", we recommend contacting the links on this page to help you more with the process. (see below)
There are 2 main things to understand about these marriages:
1)
It is not easy to arrange
a "legal marriage" for foreigners! It is possible, however, with a little groundwork and pre-planning. (It is for this reason that the "Traditional style
Tahitian Weddings" are becoming the foreigners choice of ceremony.
See info below.)
2) Unfortunately, Tahiti Sun Travel
can't really do much more for you
when it comes to planning these Polynesian
weddings other than supply the information
and links on these pages.
"TRADITIONAL
TAHITIAN" WEDDINGS
are the most popular form of "marriage" in French Polynesia and can be arranged through local specialists who make your
wedding one that you will never forget. These marriages are a pure Tahitian experience and highly saught after- quite unique only to these islands.
Realize (if it matters): THESE ARE NOT LEGALLY RECOGNIZED or BINDING MARRIAGES,
(see info above), however arguably just as memorable, significant, and important!
Most consist of varying degrees of ceremonial hoo ha,
with different trappings ranging from terrific food and catering services, canoe
rides, to full dress costumes, entertainment and more...
RENEWING
YOUR WEDDING VOWS
Tahiti and her islands also offer a very unique and romantic
service that has developed over the years. Commonly refered to as "renewing
your wedding vows", this is popular with people who have been together for
years already, and are looking to "RE-spice", or "RE-new"
the energy of their earlier years of marriage... The reasons people do this are
many and complex, and we won't even try and define them.
TST is happy for all lovers and people who do this and
we have assembled this list of talented, unique and licensed marriage renewal
priests for you: We organize these priests according to the islands they perform
the renewal ceremonies on.
