Well not exactly, but let me back up a little bit here.

I'm back to my wedding in Nassau Bahamas, and I wanted to address a growing trend...the "get to know each other pre-party" before the guests roll into their beach weddings.

Traditional weddings have always had the rehearsal dinner, where guests can mingle and exchange small talk.  Although some couples have done similar dinners at their destination weddings, I have noticed a trend towards more adventurous and laid back events.  So we decided to go that route in the Bahamas prior to our scheduled beach wedding in Nassau...

Being avid sailors we sought out a catamaran large enough to accommodate 40 people, and came across the Flying Cloud (http://www.flyingcloud.info).  Everything seemed to be perfect, so we booked it for the Friday night before the wedding when all the guests would be on the island already.

When we arrived at the dock they were placing the finishing touches on the boat, so we all relaxed with a fine Bahamian beverage and waited to set sail.  Well, given the crew that was invited on this voyage, the party began to pick up speed and I was thankful that someone else was piloting the now party boat.  As we sat down to a nice casual buffet dinner my sister asked me if I had seen one of our wedding guest couples.  I could have sworn they were on the boat, but where were they now?!?  After several minutes of worry, we decided that we would have noticed two people falling overboard (right?). 

Well, unlike the title of this post, they were not lost at sea, but we did take off without them when they weren't looking.  So, my advice to all you destination wedding couples out there:  If you are carting your partying wedding guests around an unfamiliar island, make sure you get a head count before you sail off into the sunset!

Much like my earlier post, everything ended up great anyways.  And below is a very short video of the boat/party.
