Our Wedding

It all started on a warm evening in Miami, where Lisa was living and Billy had just flown in from Connecticut to visit friends. The stars aligned when they found themselves at the same sports bar, each passionately cheering for their beloved basketball teams. Billy, a devoted Boston Celtics fan, couldn’t resist sparking up a rivalry conversation with Lisa, a die-hard Miami Heat supporter, as their teams battled it out on the screen.

Our love story:

whoever's team won would take the other out on a date. As fate would have it, the Miami Heat triumphed that night, and true to his word, Billy booked a flight back to Miami the very next weekend to take Lisa on their first date. That one weekend turned into something magical, and it was clear that this connection was more than just a game-day rivalry.

With playful banter and sparks flying, they made a friendly wager: 

and just after that amazing first date, they took a leap of faith and decided to embark on their second date, an incredible two-week adventure to Croatia. As they explored new horizons together, from soaking in stunning views of Plitvice Lakes National Park to racing on jet-skis across the ocean in Split, to geeking out at Game of thrones shoot locations in Dubrovnik and of course, bonding over street food on the cobblestone streets to fine dining under starry skies, they created memories that would last a lifetime. Now, eight years later, the rivalry has turned into an everlasting partnership, and they're ready to say "I do" to a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure.

Their bond was undeniable

Travel Tips Before Flying To Jamaica

Before you touch down in the land of wood and water, here are a few must-know travel tips: 1. Entry RequirementsIf you’re coming from the U.S., Canada, or the UK, you don’t need a visa to enter Jamaica for stays under 90 days. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date and the same goes for African countries like Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Zambia. 2. Complete the Online C5 FormBefore arriving in Jamaica, all travelers—including residents and visitors—must complete the online Passenger Declaration (C5) form. You can fill this out at <a href="https://enterjamaica.gov.jm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">enterjamaica.gov.jm</a>.&nbsp;Don’t wait until the last minute—do this at least 24 hours before your flight. 3. Currency TipsThe official currency is the Jamaican Dollar (JMD), but U.S. dollars are widely accepted—especially in tourist areas like Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril. However, you get more bang for your buck with Jamaican Dollars. Avoid exchanging at the airports and yes, ATMs are also widely available. 4. Cash or Card?Well, it’s always good to carry small amounts of cash for small purchases and tipping. Most major hotels, restaurants, and shops accept cards (Visa and Mastercard are best), but cash is still king. 5. Airport TransferRound trip airport shuttle transfer from the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay will be provided by Half Moon's authorized ground handler, Jamaica Tours Limited. The transportation cost is $25.00 per person and is billed to your individual room accounts. 6. Getting AroundIf you’re not renting a car, use official taxis with red license plates only as those are designated public passenger vehicles or arrange private transfers in advance with your hotel or tour company. Uber is also available. 7. Go Beyond the ResortYes, the resorts are beautiful—but please leave the property at least once! Go see Jamaica. Try authentic jerk chicken, explore local waterfalls, party on a catamaran, check out a dancehall street party! Jamaica is full of culture, history, flavor. Nuff vibes. Trust me! Tek it from a yaadie! And a BONUS TIPRespect the local culture. Us Jamaicans are warm and welcoming, and wi tek pride inna wi culture. So when you see us, be polite and&nbsp;say “Good morning” or “Good evening” or better yet, greet us wid a “Wah gwaan” and we’ll give you all the love.
