My fiance is Jamaican and I would love to have a beach theme wedding but we are getting married at the end of January. We live in Maine. I think this is a cute combination of Jamaican and Mainer but I am afraid people may think it is weird. What are your thoughts?
Thank you!! It will be in doors. But I want a beachy theme – star fish, etc. You all helped so much!!

It’s your wedding! Who cares what other people think! Just make sure it isn’t too cold for your guests, congratulations!
No, it’s your wedding, so do it however way you want to!
People used to think wearing white after Labor day was a crime, and the only thing you can eat on Sundays is Pot Roast. I say, if you want it, go for it.
its your wedding – do what you want! i think it is a nice way to bring a bit of the summer into the cold winter. maybe you should let your guests know the theme, so they can dress appropriately (if you want them “beachy” too).
i think its a great idea!
I think it’s your wedding, hopefully the only one you ever need, and as it is YOUR day, do whatever you want. If people think it strange, or weird, who cares? Your wedding is the most perfect day of your life, so do whatever you want with it. And so many, many congratulations!
Who cares what other people think. It’s your wedding do as you please. I think it’s an awesome idea.
Babes its UR DAY do WHATEVER u wanna do u only get married for first time once
Hey, it’s your wedding – do what you like!! If people can’t have a sense of humour and enjoy the moment, perhaps they should send their regrets…
Seriously, go for it!! It’ll be a nice break from the cold weather. Have a great time!!!
It’s your wedding, and actually, I think it’s a wonderful idea. And I’m sure your friends and family wouldn’t mind getting a break from shovelling snow out of thier driveways to come see a beautiful wedding ceremony on the beach.
you can pull it off, just don’t do things cheesy.
Not at all. You make your wedding theme how you want to. Not what you think everyone else will like. Trust me.. This is your day. You only get one (Hopefully).
I think it is great to try to combine your home with his. Good luck to you and congrats!
ill be honest its a little weird but if you incorporate the two. make it look good that would be awsome looking but who really cares anyway its your wedding GO FOR IT!!!
I think that you should do what makes you happy. A beach theme wedding may be just what your friends and family need to break the monotony of winter. At the end of the day, you will be married to the man of your dreams, regardless of what type of wedding you have. So, do what makes you happy. You only get one chance (hopefully!!).
What would your fiance and his family like – are they keen for the beach theme as well? If all parties are keen (and I would, to be frank, worry that it wasn’t a bit “Jamaican = beach” stereotypical), then by all means go for it.
It is your wedding, and presumably the people you are inviting are the family and friends you are most close to, who will appreciate, respect and celebrate your wishes.
I think that would be cool.It is your wedding and have it the way you want,no matter what others think.I give you my best wishes in a life long marrige.
I think it’s perfectly appropriate, but I’m familiar with winter in northern New England, so I think it needs to be inside! I’d look for a resort hotel that has function rooms with a gorgeous beach view…which is about as close to the beach as most of your guests will want to be. You can probably get an excellent rate since you’re having your wedding at what would normally be a beach resort’s slowest time of year.
NOPE!!!
Aww that’s cute! I say do it! lol ♥
Any one who doesn’t like it can stay home.
As everyone else said-it’s your wedding! But, also-it serves a purpose. People might think the idea in general is weird; however, since your fiance is Jamaican it symbolizes something and I think people will recognize that and love the idea.
Go for it!
I think it is Fabulous.. I live in hawaii.. I helped my friend in Boston plan her themed luau ,,, And it was in February. They were both originally from teh Hawaiian Islands and they wanted to take the tradition with them when they were married.
Do it. you will never regret it
What is weird the fact that its winter the fact that its a beach party or the fact that your friends might not understand .
Hey its your day its no one Else’s and if you cant have a say in your own wedding then….Wedding is a flop.
Cook some of those Maine lobsters and sink your toes into the sand play a little Calypso music and dance with the man of your dreams under the cool winter stars I cant think that it would be any thing other than hugely ROMANTIC . Great theme and a moment that you both will look back on in your later years and think We had a fun and original wedding more than most couples that are joined in a chapel.
It’s your wedding but spruce up the place where you are going to get married, make it a bit more beach like. Test it with a few people and see what they think.
as long is the place is nice or ther is`nt any snow so peoples dont get pneumonia.
Sounds good to me, do what you like. I like the way you’re incorporating your fiance’s heritage.
This is YOUR wedding – a reflection of YOU and YOUR Fiancee. I think that having a wedding that celebrates who you are and the things that you enjoy is the best wedding that YOU can have. Please don’t become just another number in a whole fluury of weddings that your guests will attend in their lives. Make yours a reflection of you. And aside from a beach theme being your own style, I would think it would be a refreshing positive spin in the artic cold of a new england winter, as a new englander myself.
As a New Englander myself, I think that would be a GREAT idea! Especially the end of January… you know how the winters can be sooo long for some people! And January especially. So a wedding with a beach theme would probably be a very welcome escape from the cold weather outside. What a cute idea… and I think the fact that your fiance is Jamaican just makes it all that more appropriate. Have fun with it and DEFINITELY go with it! I’d love to go to a wedding like that!

totally tacky. i mean, in the end, u can do whatever u want, but remember that besides you remembering the wedding fo rthe rest of your life, so r your guests and they may be wondering, that if you had a summer themed wedding, why didn’t u do it in the summer.
yes it is weird. why don’t you roll over your wedding to june or something?
totally tacky though

it’s your wedding. screw what other people think. as long as you like it, and you have an open bar, it will be a good wedding
Absolutely not! If you want to go with a beach theme–go with a beach theme. This is all about you and your future husband, you should have what you want.
There must be some other aspect of Jamaican culture– food, music, etc– that you can use in your indoor wedding! I think a beach-themed wedding in January and not ON a beach would be strange, indeed.
Like an ocean-themed wedding in Nebraska. No point and awkward.
But maybe you could just incorporate some Jamaican or beach aspects in your wedding cake design, rather than go whole-hog with an entirely indoor beach theme? That would be better.
And be sure to serve Red Stripe beer!
If it is indoors, it will be fine. I think it’s a great idea! You could combine the two ocean themes by splitting them up…. Main/Nantucket looking decor for the brides section of the reception and tropical Jamaican for the grooms side!
Maine’s side should be lots of white… starfish, light and dark blues…. very Martha Stweartish. The other side should be brighter… more colorful and tropical.
Check out http://www.breezybeachwear.com in their apparel section. They have a fun “island Bride” and “Island Groom” T-shirt that you two could get for your
Honeymoon! I also recommend a pretty silk flower hair clip for you to wear from their flower clip section. Check out Beach Wedding Swarovski and North Star. Or go with a bright one instead to wear to your honeymoon!
I think it would be a FABULOUS way to warm up your friends in the cold, cold winter!
