So you’re dying to have your wedding at a Caribbean family vacation destination where all the people you love can gather and celebrate.

Fabulous!

There are plenty of places to choose from, and all of them are rich in beauty and history.

However, before you start ordering your vacation guides, it’s important to find out what you’ll need in order to get your marriage license in this part of the world. Though it can be relatively easy to do, you’ll still need to plan.

To start you off on the right foot toward marital bliss, GuestQuest has researched a few Caribbean family vacation destination hotspots’ license info for your consideration:

  • Destined for Barbados? There, you can enjoy no waiting period at all. This family vacation getaway is designed for people of all ages. You will need parental consent if you’re 16 or 17 and want to wed, though.
  • In the Cayman [...]

As GuestQuest noted in our previous post, the shape of Michigan is reminiscent of a glove. No biggie, right? But contained in the word “glove” is the word “love”… so what better place than at one of those terrific Michigan hotels to get married?

In all seriousness, if you’re preparing to get hitched in the gorgeous state of Michigan, you need to keep in mind all the legal “stuff” that goes with getting a marriage license. Here, we’ve compiled a few tidbits of information to help get you started on your path to a beautiful partnership:

  • If you’re not from Michigan, you’ll need to pay an extra $10 for your marriage license.
  • Bring along an official ID if you’re getting betrothed at one of the many Michigan lodging and resort spots. Oh, and don’t forget your birth certificate (the original or a certified copy).
  • Like Pennsylvania (see two posts [...]

You’re getting married? That’s fantastic! Now the planning can begin… and if you’re dead set on making a Virginia lodging facility the site of your “I dos”, you’re in luck.

This “southern, but not too southern” state is a family vacation destination and boasts mountains and a relaxing shoreline. However, you need to know the ins and outs of getting a marriage license in Virginia before you can proceed with your dream wedding.

  • If you’ve been married before, you may have to provide proof that you’re either divorced or widowed. This depends on the county; if you already have any of the numerous Virginia condos in mind as your destination, the staff there may be able to help you find out if their county requires documentation in this area.
  • The fee to get married in Virginia is relatively low – under $40 as of the writing of this post. [...]

Are you and your loved one planning to get hitched somewhere in the Keystone State? Maybe that Poconos getaway spot that was your family vacation destination as a kid is a place you’ve always wanted to say your vows. Or perhaps you’d love to recite your “I dos” in the City of Brotherly Love.

Regardless, it’s important to know all the marriage license and related info before you you’re your dates and book your stay at one of those awesome Pennsylvania motels, Pennsylvania condos or Pennsylvania resorts.

Here are some of the rules for getting betrothed in PA:

  • It’s okay if you aren’t a resident of the state. Pennsylvania condos and resorts will still be happy to help you with your wedding!
  • A marriage license will cost you, but not too much. Expect to pay around (or less than) $50. You’ll still have plenty left over to spend at [...]

Is Georgia on your mind as you plan your fun family vacations for this year and the years to come? Do you feel The Peach State calling you?

Then definitely grab your family vacation guide and check out the many family vacation packages available. But be advised – as with other locales in the union, some weird (and downright silly) laws do exist in this southern state!

  • In Dublin, Georgia, you can’t drive through any of the playgrounds. So please just park your car away from the swing set if you take the kids to the park that’s closest to your Georgia condominium, okay?
  • Were you planning to spit from a bus or a car during your family vacation destination in Marietta, GA? Hope not – it could get you a fine. (However, if you spit from the window [...]

You hear it calling you – Florida. It’s one of the most popular family vacation destinations in the United States, but did you know that even in this travelers’ mecca there are some bizarre laws on the books?

A few of the more notable headshakers are listed below, courtesy of the researchers at GuestQuest. Enjoy!

  • When you’re at your Florida vacation condo or other Florida lodging, you may be tempted to get a hair trim and color. But watch out if you’re put under the hair dryer! Women who fall asleep while their tresses are being heated can be fined. (The salon owner can be fined, too!)
  • Please don’t bring your elephant along to your Florida family vacation destination. Really, he’ll just cause trouble. See, if you leave Dumbo tied to a parking meter, you’ll be required to pay the parking fee. And [...]

So you’re looking for the best family vacation spot for you and your hubby and kids. And you’ve heard over and over again that Delaware is the place to visit.

Guess what? You’ve been well-informed! Delaware may be small, but it’s been a huge vacation family destination for many generations. In fact, there are plenty of people who wouldn’t feel right if they didn’t head to the state at least once every year.

Still, like our previous post on Alabama, if you’re dead-set on Delaware, it behooves you to know about some of the more bizarre laws on the books. After all, you wouldn’t want your stay at any of the fine Delaware condominiums or Delaware resorts to be marred by a faux pas!
