My fiance and I want to get married on an island, but don't know where. I've done a lot of research, but looks like there is going to be rain. With my luck, probably even a hurricane. We want to go somewhere warm and relaxing for about a week.
Our options so far are:
Barbados, Jamaica, ABC Islands, Turks and Caicos, Virgin Islands, Tahiti, Thailand, Puerto Rico, and Malaysia.
Thank you!
Where to visit in November?

i've been in usvi, bvi & turks/caicos in different novs and had wonderful weather each time.
getting married in the islands is not that difficult. a few islands require that you be ON the island for 2-3 days before you may go to the registar for you paperwork. i think a couple islands want blood tests. if either have been married you'll need proof of divorce.
every island and many resorts have wedding planners who will assist you with the details of a given island.
to give you any useful advice we need to know your budget (if fam/friends are on your dime? or if any need cheaper accomodations) also what sort of picture you have in mind - intimate beach with swaying palms, long wide blindingly white sand beach, waves crashing on rocks below??? and some idea of how you're going to want to spend you time - are you beach sitters, do you want to fish, zipline, snorkel/dive, play golf, shop, gamble, see some history? are you looking for outstanding restaurants? anything else you might think pertinent...
We want to go to vist and island, eat seafood, and learn about new cultures.
Congrats!

Happy Journey,
Congratulations. All of the destinations you've listed are so beautiful and unique, that it really does come down to the ambience you're imagining for this special occasion and your budget. Turks and Caicos truly naturally alluring and romantic, Barbados offers something for everyone loads to do... and so on, I'm thinking a great way to narrow your interest to the suitable destination is to do a search on the hotels of the destination and look at their wedding packages, and sort of work backwards from there.
All the best
