I had the great pleasure of having the opportunity to attend a Destination Wedding in Bali, Indonesia.  It was absolutely luxuriously delightful in that it had the exotic factor, it was breathtakingly beautiful…and did I mention that it was in Bali?  Jack and Maggie were married on July 4, 2010 and usually I wouldn’t miss fireworks for the world, but this time, I think my fourth of July was spectacular on its own accord.  Have a look!

The wedding took place at the prestigious Conrad Hotel at the Infinity Chapel.  This Chapel was incredible as it was all glass surrounded by a water with a walkway leading up to the chapel, with the ocean as its background.  There were live, Balinese singers that sang as the Bride and Groom walked in and the maximum capacity of 60 made the ceremony all the more intimate and beautiful.

As the ceremony concluded, all the guests lined the walkway on the water to shower the Bride and Groom with rose petals.  What a wonderful and surreal way to be greeted and congratulated by guests!

After the ceremony, all the guests were shuttled to another private hotel and again, the banquet room was an all glass room sitting afloat shallow water with tiki torches lining the wooden walkways.  Ivory pomanders hung from the ceiling and exotic, local ivory and lime green flowers accentuated the tables.

Guests were pampered with a luxurious five course meal followed by a grueling roast of the Bride and Groom.  All guests had a wonderful time at the reception, including yours truly (bottom right corner in a lime green dress) and the Bride and Groom truly gave all of us and especially themselves, a celebration that will be forever remembered.

Congratulations again to Jack and Maggie, many thanks for inviting all of us to the beautiful island of Bali to enjoy such a wonderful and special wedding celebration!
