According to Forbes Magazine these are 10 wonderful locations to check out when planning a destination wedding.  I think it would be great to have your wedding here and then extend the fun into a honeymoon.  What do you think?  Your favorites?  Or do you have a place you think should be on the list? 

Keawala’i Congregational Church  Maui, Hawaii  {dates back to 1855 and overlooks the beach and beautiful sunsets}

Since yesterday I talked about eco-friendly weddings, I thought that I’d feature a fabulous eco-friendly honeymoon location today. Turtle Island is ultra-private and ultra-luxurious, always limited to only 14 couples. It seems tailored made for a dream honeymoon.

This stunning island was the site of both the 1949 and 1980 Blue Lagoon films. Okay, this one is not for the budget-minded but talk about gorgeous. This is definitely on my wish list. You can even rent the entire island! If you have $300,000, that is. Maybe next year…

Turtle Island is also one of the world’s leading sustainable tourism destinations.
* Four acre organic garden provides the island with fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs, and spices
* Planting of more than 300,000 trees over more than 30 years developing into lush forest land
* Environmental audit every five years from independent US Agency
* Green Globe 21 benchmarking of environmental management
* Preservation of mangroves and coconut groves
* Introduction of freshwater ponds to encourage bird life
