Our dream wedding was to have a destination wedding with all of our family and friends as witnesses, but we knew that would be hard to pull off.  So, we put our thinking caps on and married the two ideas and designed our "Ultimate Wedding and Celebration" idea. 

Both of us are very excited and look forward to Sunday, October 28, 2012, when we will say our I Do's  before God in the presence of our family and friends and start a new chapter of our lives together. We hope that you choose to join us.

Love,

Tanya & Darrell

Our Ultimate Wedding and Celebration idea is to have our wedding and reception onboard Carnival Pride cruise ship in Baltimore, MD on Sunday, October 28, 2012.  The wedding and reception will take place while the cruise ship is docked in Baltimore, Maryland before it sets sail for Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and Freeport, Bahamas.

 Note: Formal Invitations will be mailed to our guest 

We both come from large families and we would love for everyone to share in our wedding day, but this is not possible. We are limited to the number of guest that can attend the wedding and celebration. 

However, guest can attend the wedding if they decide to book the 7-day cruise and sail from Baltimore, Maryland to Port Canaveral, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and Freeport, Bahamas, Sunday, October, 28, 2012 - Sunday, November 4, 2012.

We know that this may not be possible for some, but we wanted to extend the invite and allow you to make the final decision and be a part of our Wedding & FamilyMoon!  If you are interested, please let us know and we can provide you with more specific details. Otherwise, we hope that you will wish us well in this new chapter of our lives and we will see you when we return from our Wedding & FamilyMoon.

We will start our Honeymoon once the cruise disembarks from Baltimore, Maryland on Sunday, October, 28, 2012. 

Of course we expect to have our special, private time together, but since a cruise ship is very large and can accommodate so many guest, we thought it would be great to invite our family and friends to take part in what we call a FamilyMoon. 

We hope that you will decide to cruise with us on our special day and enjoy a 7-Day cruise aboard Carnival Pride from Baltimore, MD to Port Carnaveral, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and Freeport, Bahamas - Sunday, October 28, 2012 - Sunday, November 4, 2012.

Carnival allows everyone to pay for their cruise over a span of time.  Cruises require an initial deposit($250/per person), and the final payment will be due two months prior to sailing(August 14, 2012). Currently, they offer an EarlySaver deal which provides price protection should the cruise price decrease prior to sailing. 

The preliminary pricing details, excluding taxes and fees for our FamilyMoon cruise are as follows and more details can be found at http://www.carnival.com.
