“Since it was a ‘destination’ wedding for a lot of the guests, we made a week of the wedding with events, hikes, pool parties and concerts.”
After meeting as volunteers in Tanzania, Brittany and David dated for five years before David got down on one knee in St. Maarten and proposed. Although David was from England, Brittany (a Salt Lake City native) wanted to hold the wedding close to home. The two decided on a home-based wedding for her family and a destination wedding for his. “For starters, it was a unique wedding because it brought so many different people together from all over the world,” says Brittany. “David and I couldn’t believe that over 45 of our friends and family from England flew over to celebrate our special day with us.”
The couple focused on details to make the wedding a memorable experience for their family members and friends. “We named the tables after different places throughout Tanzania and each table had a globe and wine bottles we had collected from London, Utah and Tanzania,” remembers Brittany. But there was one detail every guest appreciated. “Everyone especially loved the late night snack of fish and chips we served to represent London.”
