Barcelo Maya Playa Azul Wedding Photos
There are a few places on the grounds of the Barcelo Maya where couples can tie the knot - terraces overlooking the ocean and on-site chuches - but the southern-most beach of the property (Playa Azul) allows lovers the treat of having the ocean nip at their heels as they wed.
I stood in as the groom for the purposes of a promotional video (similiar to what I did in Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo... see photos). It's a rather strange feeling to watch the chairs being set up, the flowers spread out on the sand. I sat under a straw palapa, awaiting the arrival of my bride in a golf cart resembling an Escalade.
I've never been married (or even close), so needless to say walking down the aisle is an interesting experience. There are a lot of stresses that come along with a beach wedding (weather, for one), but I've got to be honest: At the end of the day, the sand between my toes felt a lot better than the inside of any designer shoe.
