So here it is… We are on an adventure of a lifetime. For two years we’re going to drive around the globe in our 24 year old camper van ‘Peggy’ exchanging vows in the most unusual and unique wedding locations we can find.
We are looking to embrace the culture and local traditions of each place we visit. We want to experience the difference in each ceremony and find out what it is that makes the bringing of two people together such a worldwide tradition, and of course let the world know!
At the end of the trip we will pick our favourite place and go back to officially tie the knot.
This is where you come in. We have teamed up with the wonderful Zankyou wedding registry to give you the chance to be flown out to our final destination wedding wherever that may be. To find out more and enter click Zankyou. Or visit ‘Your wedding invite’ page for more information.
Amazing Photographers!
We have been lucky enough to involve some of the worlds most amazing photographers on our wedding adventure. Have a look at our Photographers page to see there work.
Now to see whats happened so far. How do you browse?

Humble beginings to start at the beginning. You can keep going as at the bottom of each blog is a link to the next blog!

We will have to do a piece on you when your in the US. The options are endless. How about the empire state building?
Is it possible to get married in the Empire State Building!?? Love the idea of a wedding up there!

Hello you two….I have been keeping up with all the exploits of course, so sorry I missed your “wedding” but I am sure they told you I was a little afraid there would not be enough room on the pontoon, saw all lthe beautiful npictures and I am so glad I did get to meet you, of course that is all we talked about l week prior to your arrival.It was wonderful to meet you and be a part of your trip here, I know you are on a wonderful fantasy and I hope you go for it, I hope you dance, all the very best to you, remember us, we love you, have your mum drop me a line when she can, come back anytime…..this is a standing invitation…..love & kisses…Barb
Hope you are still having fun on your journey. Im with Barb would have loved to been at the ceremony but thought the pontoon was going to be full.
We are having a blast, we are just about to head down the west coast of America, heading for mexico and eventually Argentina! xx
It was great meeting you two and sharing a glass of wine and wonderful stories. My late wife, Penny would have been thrilled to meet you. I’ll be following you on your adventures, journey safely, all the best.
Richard.
I’ve always be curious about people who do stuff like this…..How can you afford this?
Hi Amanda, Work like a trojan and save all your money, then sell everything you have and keep to a tight budget. You only live once so live the dream.
I’ve just viewed the 1st wedding video….I don’t know how I missed this earlier! It’s lovely and so are you two…you sure look happy. I’m reading, watching, laughing and enjoying all your blogs…..keep smiling and loving. x
Alex & Lisa – loved your answer to Amanda, bravo…….not lilke it was any of hers or anyones in the first place,you have what was one called “gumption” You are right about only going around once, as you know I believe in that tenet. As ever…Barb
Loved the Nanaimo Wedding tonight. A beautiful Beach..Weather was perfect…sunset was amazing…Enjoy the rest of your adventures. A real pleasure meeting you both!…Desiree
Thanks for all the votes on the ‘Which wedding next poll’ The results are as follows -
Cultural Inuit wedding 58.06%
Beach wedding 19.35%
Horse back wedding 16.13%
Other: 6.45% – Hot tub wedding and a Scuba wedding
It has given us a clear indication of the sort of weddings you are all looking for and we are working on having more cultural themed weddings. Thanks for being part of the journey!
I will put up another poll shortly.
Your story is up on our website and another article is in the making. I hope you are enjoying yourselves in your travels thus far and can’t wait to talk with you again soon.

Will have to visit them for next Halloween!
Marino and Victor created an amazing ambience with the incredible music.
I hope it was captured on video…? If yes, add it to your blog as I’d love to see it.

I look forward to seeing the news coverage when you post it!
Best Wishes for many more happy “I do’s”!
Xx T.J.
Thanks T.J. We had a really great night and it was such good fun….. LOVED Marino on Guitar!
Hi my friends,………you sure are making it interesting on the net……So happy things are going so well, and making good time at that…….fiound Mexico interesting especially the Maya peninsula and the pyramids, the people were very gracious, I can’t wait to read what that part of the trip was like…..OXOXOXOX Barb
Hi Barb, we head down to Mexico mid December and then south hopefully all the way to Argentine over the following few months.
Wish I could go with you to Mexico…just remember do not drink the water, cerveza (beer)
is great,they also sell a lot of Blue Moon down there……just kidding – not about the water though…..have a blast. you have to love the people….be back with you shortly…..be safe 
:),,,,,oxoxoxoxoxo Barb
Hahaha we will forgo the water and stick to the beer on that note! Thanks for the heads up! you are welcome to join us in Mexico if you fancy a break!! you know us, the more the merrier!!! Xxx
The voting on the Las Vegas wedding was a virtual land slide YES!! So we did it and will post it soon!!!
Oh goody….did Peggy enjoy the celebration and behave herself?
Hi guys…..just took a trip though the slide program….wonderful….so glad everything is going well, its like having you still here, memorable to say the least, love ya xoxoxoxoxbarb
I know I’m just a hopeless romantic, but I’m most looking forward to a Paris wedding.
Where abouts in Paris? We have a few ideas but where do you imagine it?
I love this idea! I’m planning my own wedding right now, and it’s such a wonderful time. How lucky you are to be able to have the wedding of your dreams over and over again. When I got engaged and actually started planning I realized that the only disappointment I had (among the many thrills of being engaged) was that I couldn’t incorporate everything I loved into one day. You can’t have a beautiful rustic reception among trees and wildflowers AND also have a breathtaking view of the twinkling lights of the city skyline. You can’t celebrate on an elegant vineyard with delicate hors d’ouevres AND host a down-home pig roast and barbecue. I’m very happy with the choices I made for my wedding, but you both will have the unique opportunity to explore and live out every dream you ever had for your big day. How wonderful! Good luck in all your celebrations. I hope each one is as memorable as the last.
P.S. An Indian wedding would be spectacular!
Thanks Jennifer, Its a good point. What did you choose in the end!? We are having a blast and we hope we can have an Indian wedding to. We can feel your pain with having to make a decision though as after all this fun we are going to have to pick the place to finally go back and tie the knot officially! Its going to be tough!
Dear Lisa & Alex,
I’m delighted beyond belief to have found your adventures (and I have to admit a bit jealous as well)! The reason is my life with my long-time scientist fiance has dragged us around the world and not allowed us to settle anywhere, so getting married has become a chore that we can’t seem to get to! Plus, as another girl mentioned, how can you have every type of event, to which I’ll add that I’ve always asked him, ‘How can we choose a place and include those we’d want there when we’re all over the world?’ His sweet response to me one day was, “It’s simple. We can get married as many times as we want.”
So, though I was so pleased at his reply, it sounded like a great dream but somewhat (financially) unrealistic. Thus, you can’t even imagine my delight at discovering you’re doing this! And I love that you’re incorporating local customs as part of each ceremony as this makes it even more special. I’m so happy for you and look forward to following your future journeys. And sad that I missed Hawaii as that is my current first choice.
Enjoy every minute!
Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth,
We are so happy you have found us and are enjoying our adventure! We are having the time of our lives and learning so much at the same time. Meeting new people everywhere we go AND virtually through the blog is making our journey so special! We have found somewhere to stay in Telchac Puerto for the holidays and are currently driving through the center of Mexico. Where abouts are you and are you here for long? If we are nearby we could meet up?
Us 2
Hi L & A,
Sorry my reply has taken so long, crazy few weeks. So of course I had to ask where you are and was told its in the Riviera Maya. Beautiful area, I have never been to the East coast of Mexico, on ‘the list’. As you know I’m not near you, but will be in the country of Mexico for the forseeable future. I’ve been updating my fiance on your adventures as I read them and we’d love to meet up if you for some reason happen to find yourself back in our area. I’ll be following along on your journey to find out.
Merry Christmas!
E
Hi L & A,
Noticed you’re in Mexico, as are we at the moment, but unf not near the gulf right now. Just this week we were discussing where we might go on the west coast if we can take a vacation. Can’t wait to see what pueblo you cose!
E
We recommend Sayulita on the west coast! Such a lovely laid back place. Although a little basic, it depends on what you like to do.
Hi L & A,
We just opened Google Maps to help us with this one. Found Sayulita. So then I guess you’ve already been to one of the two areas we would have recommended for a wedding. Are you going back to the West coast before heading South?
E
Hi L& A,
I see you’ll be going to and just voted for South America. If you haven’t already chosen your destination(s), I had 2 locales I wanted to share with you for both the views and culture:
1) The salt mine cathedral in Zipaquira, Colombia, which is near Bogota is an absolute underground wonder to see. I’ve been there twice and still want to go back. I’ve heard people say they’ve seen photos on the net. Well, those pictures don’t capture the sheer vastnest of the different stations and especially the main cathedral as well.
2) Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As beautiful as you might think, a lovely train ride to the route, and unsurpassed views of Rio. Wish we’d gone there the first day of the trip instead of the last. It’s a great way to ‘get’ Rio.
And here’s a 3rd suggestion that just came to me, though in Central America, not South – - Antigua, Guatemala. Envision an old colonial city parts still in ruins that they’ve rebuilt around, and to mark ‘South’ just look up at the volcano. Then, though there are many beautiful hotels, at the entrance is the Casa Santa Domingo, an old monastary. Any time we went to Antigua we always wound up there.
Perhaps you’ve heard of all of these before. But I just felt the need to share.
E
Thanks for the great suggestions, we will be sure to look up those places when we get there. Any recommendations on Mexico!??
Hi L & A,
Mexico. 2 ideas:
As you’re East near Merida at the moment, if it’s allowed we think an amazing backdrop for a wedding would be the Cuculcan pyramid.
If you plan to head back to the West coast, a great beach location and less costly than Cabo or Mazatlan could be Puerto Vallarta. It’s near a great city, Guadalajara, that you could visit. And as you know as you head up the coast toward Mazatlan are many small towns to discover. D’s friend recently took an inexpensive beach vacation at the beach near Tepic. However, it’s too new so not really developed enough for a wedding.
These are the coastal ideas we came up with.
Feliz Navidad!
E
Thanks so much for the advice, we loved Guadalajara. We are still looking for that perfect place. We know that we want it to be Mayan influenced and hopefully held by an elder but are still unsure of the location. There is so much to choose from in Mexico.
Come to New Zealand! I will donate you the most awesome Nz themed Wedding Cake ever made, and you would love our country and New Zealands great hospitality
Hope to see you soon and good luck with all the upcoming nuptials.
Hi Nikki! We will take you up on your kind offer! New Zealand is right at the end of our trip and we won’t be over there until May 2013! Hope you can wait that long???
Loving every minute of the travelog, keep up the good work and be careful and happy,xoxdoxoBarb
Thanks Barb! Not needed your hand cannon so far! keeping it safe.
Alex & Lisa:
Nice to meet you at Acamaya Reef RV park. Your travels so far are exciting and we look forward to keeping in touch as you travel through Central and South America. We went to the Paamul website and it looks great. We’ll be down there on January 4 and hope to see you again.
Mike, Lauree and Tigger the cat
By the way, Mrs. Low and I have been married for 33 years. Getting married once in Missoula, Montana was enough for us though.
Look forward to seeing you, the sand isn’t quite as soft here but its not bad! Ahh the things we have to worry about. We are having a wedding on the 5th at Paamul so if you guys would like to come and be part of our 11th wedding that would be great. Obviously Tigger is welcome to. Congratulations on 33 years of marriage!
hey guys,
this is sooo cool what you are doing, just saw you on twitter and went into the blog to see what about!
We are living only once and you do right,
hope for you all the best, stay in love and take care on your trips.
If you decide to do a wedding on a greek island or in a traditional greek village maybe, I could help you with information and of course be your personal hair & make-up artist , Lisa;)
Love from Thessaloniki, Greece!
Thanks for the follow!
A traditional wedding in a Greek village sounds right up our street! I think we will meet in the future! Around August! xx
I live in Antigua and will get marry here next weekend, please let me go to yours and enjoy this experience and add it to mine!
Hope to hear from you guys,
Felicidades en su boda!
Of course! You are welcome. I have sent an email to you about a photo opportunity later today xx
Hi L & A!
I’ve been so far behind on reading the blog I don’t even know where to start! (Work just gets in the way of fun!) But I noticed you’re currently in Antigua, Guatemala, which was our getaway when we lived in Guatemala City. We were there as often as possible. So have a great time and no matter where you stay, be sure to check out the hotels. They’re quaint, beautiful, and serene.
Enjoy!
E
We Love Antigua and after passing though Guatemala city to get here and can see why you liked to visit so much. It is a epic contrast for a 33k drive! We have been lucky enough to be put up at the Hotel El Meson De Marie in the heart of the city. It is one of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in ever! They have arranged for us to have our Guatemalan ceremony on the roof terrace later today held by a local Shaman! We will be surrounded by Volcano’s and an amazing view of the city! We feel so lucky! xx
Beautiful!!!
We visitied that hotel on our ‘hotel tours day’ trip. Absolutely gorgeous.
Enjoy a beautiful wedding. Wish we were there!
E
It was great to meet you and share some of your fantastic journey.
It is great to have you along! Look forward to catching up in LA in a few weeks.
