We searched the industry for someone completely obsessed with beach weddings, and found her!  "Beach Bum" will be dedicated to one subject: The beach wedding, past, present, and future.

Do you know that I just discovered that super model, Heidi Klum, and musician, Seal, who married on May 10, 2005, exchanged vows at a beach wedding held in Mexico on a beach that is accessible to anyone? I know I am a little slow on the uptake, but can you imagine saying ‘I do' to your fiancé in an equally intimate ceremony, standing on the same Costa Careyes shore as waves tickle your toes?

I know I can.

The couple's Mexico wedding was relatively small with only a little more than 40 guests, and Seal serenaded his soon-to-be wife with a beautiful song he had written for the occasion as a violinist played melodically in the background. That sounds simply gorgeous to me as does Heidi's dress, which was made of ivory Chantilly lace and had an empire waist. I can really visualize this as I am sure all of you reading this can. A soft breeze blows across the couple as waves gently crash onto the shore and the wind carries that beautiful voice to the ears of his lover.

In fact, the allure of this region is so strong that Heidi and Seal confessed to InStyle Magazine in May 2008 that they renew their vows by performing the same beach wedding annually. Heidi and Seal said that they had elected to do this every year to re-affirm their love for each other.

And, why shouldn't they? The beaches along the Mexican coast are said to be simply exquisite as is the scenery, providing the perfect location for a beach wedding that any couple will cherish for a lifetime. Undoubtedly, the couple returns to this location annually because of its sheer natural beauty.

Do you know that I think I am going to have to find out more from Destination Weddings about renewing my vows and having a Mexico wedding on the beach and maybe even have my own violinist playing? However, I doubt that my husband could serenade me since his voice is not quite as good as Seal's velvet sounds.
