Bahamas Wedding - Pelican Bay Hotel

Amy LoVallo and Frank Bates tied the knot at an intimate beach wedding at Pelican Bay Hotel, Grand Bahama Island June 4, 2013.  Eight guests, including the bride and groom, shared this intimate affair ... Amy and Frank's dream.  Ferried to Spanish Main beach via ferry boat, guests disembarked as the boat pushed up on to powdery white sand to await the bride, who arrived via limousine.  Methodist minister, the Rev. Dr. Emmette J. Weir performed the ceremony.


Amy and Frank are pictured as they exchanged vows on Spanish Main Beach, Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, perfect for a Bahamas wedding.



Friends who the groom's sister met on a diving trip on Grand Bahama Island, were offshore guests at the wedding and viewed the ceremony from their boat.  As the couple exchanged vows, all men on the boat stood in pledge of allegiance fashion.  How special!   Then, at the end of the ceremony, as Amy and Frank shared a Champagne toast, the new found friends played Etta James' At Last.




Amy and Frank share a quiet moment.


Dinner at Aquarium Dock, Sabor Restaurant ad Bar, Pelican Bay Hotel.  Great for couples desirous  of secluded, private settings, Pelican Bay hosts destination weddings for up to 100 guests.
