While every bit of your wedding day can be magical, it’s also more than who sits next to who and the food served to your guests – it’s a celebration of the deep and meaningful connection you’ve found with each other. To ensure this most important detail isn’t overshadowed, many couples are making a point to prioritize quality time together before their ceremony to enter matrimony closer than ever. If you’re on the same page, read on for some of our favourite ways for you and your partner to bond before exchanging vows and wedding bands, and where to do it!

Shake things up with your inner mixologist

There’s true beauty in building a life with someone and marvelling at all you’ve created together, even if it’s something as small as a delicious cocktail. That’s why we love the resort-offered mixology class at Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort Adults Only, a hot spot for weddings in Mexico. With a dash of your favourite flavours and a sprinkle of theirs, work as a pair and design a drink that’s as unique as your relationship. You can even use your newfound skills to concoct the perfect signature cocktail to feature at your wedding. And no need to retire your shakers in paradise – continue prioritizing quality time and make it a weekly date night at home.

Dance the night away

In life, you and your forever dance partner are as in step as ever. You know each other’s minds and bodies better than anyone, so why not put that connection into practice and master the art of salsa, courtesy of the resort-offered dance classes at Iberostar Selection Varadero in Cuba. Realize your innermost Dirty Dancing fantasies – even if you’re working with two left feet, it’s a chance for you and your partner to build trust and, very likely, share a few laughs in the process. Afterwards, take your moves to the nightclub where you can think less about 1, 2, 3, 4 and more about having fun, and maybe even showcase your new skills on the big day with a salsa number as your first dance.

Remove the knots before you tie the knot

Nothing says quality time like good, old-fashioned pampering. Known for its hip and stylish atmosphere, the new, adults only Secrets St. Martin Resort and Spa is a stunning wedding destination featuring the largest infinity pool in the Western Caribbean – cue the heart eyes – and one of the best spas in St. Martin. Find your Zen while basking in the sun and enjoying poolside wait service, then drift into relaxation and romance at the Secrets® Spa by Pevonia, which offers a menu of packages soon-to-be newlyweds are sure to love. Our recommendations – Share Your Secrets Duo Journey and Secrets True Love Journey. Self care and prioritizing quality time with your partner go hand in hand, so share an intimate day in a relaxing setting designed with both of you in mind.

Love the art of learning together

Since you’ve decided to host a wedding down south, why not embrace both the culture of your chosen paradise and the chance to expand your knowledge right on property? The elegant Falcons Resort by Meliá All Suites Punta Cana in Dominican Republic is a beautiful place to start, with many unique and elevated activities like sushi making and wine tasting, but their Dominican art workshop is the perfect opportunity to bond over the culture and history of your wedding destination on its own soil. Dissect the meaning behind each brush stroke or take in the beauty of the works themselves – you’ll make lifelong memories and enrich your wedding week. Off property, there are also plenty of exciting adventures you can enjoy together with NexusTours!

The beautiful thing about a destination wedding is that you’re not limited to only one day to work the room, but whether you’re in paradise for a few days or an entire week, we always recommend building time in your itinerary for yourselves. No family, no friends, no meetings – just you two. To start planning your own intimate escape, our Sunwing Weddings consultants are here for you.
