Nassau, Bahamas - Sixteen lucky brides are one step closer to that walk down the aisle in The Bahamas as they head down to Miami, Florida this week to choose their gorgeous gowns.

With less than 90 days to go until The Bahamas’ 16 weddings, 16 islands, One Priceless Day promotion, Ministry of Tourism officials are steadily preparing for the premier event.

Director of Weddings and Romance Freda Malcolm says brides are becoming more excited about the event.

“The brides are exceeding excited at this point because this is a once-in-a-lifetime event and we are going to make their day perfect for them with all of the gifts that they are getting,” she said.

“In a few days I will be meeting with a few of the brides and we will be selecting their dresses and we will have a small reception for them and their grooms. The sponsor for the dresses is Mon Cherie.”

The unique, social media promotion aptly named “16 Weddings, 16 Islands, One Priceless Day,” commenced on February 14, 2014 and ended on June 31st, 2014.

The promotion was opened to residents of the United States of America only and showcased The Islands Of The Bahamas as the premier destination in the region for romance – weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals and romantic escapes.

In addition, the promotion also highlighted the diversity, beauty, charm and distinct characters, flavors and cultures of each of the 16 Bahama Islands and simultaneously provided an opportunity for 16 newly engaged couples to have a complementary dream wedding.

The priceless wedding experiences are expected to take place on Acklins, Crooked Island, Abaco, Andros, The Berry Island, Bimini, Cat Island, Eleuthera, Exuma, Harbour Island, Grand Bahama, Inagua, Long Island, Nassau, Paradise Island and San Salvador, Bahamas.

Each lucky couple will receive complementary round trip airline tickets from their respective towns to The Bahamas, hotel accommodations including meals for 4 nights and a wedding ceremony, cake, flowers and reception for up to four guests.

Wedding rings, a bridal gown, tuxedo and personal wedding coordinator will also be given to each couple.

The 16 lucky couples were selected by a panel of travel and romance experts, based on interviews conducted and the total number of votes each couple received from their Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook accounts of their shared story of romance and reason for wanting to get married in The Bahamas.

In addition to the Ministry of Tourism, other partners for the promotion included: MasterCard®, 1888mytuxes.com, Mon Cheri, Green Turtle Cay Club, Acklins Island Lodge, Tiamo Resort, Carriearl Boutique Hotel, Resort World Bimini, Pigeon Cay Club, Tranquility On The Bay, Pineapple Fields, Valentine’s Resort, Sandals Emerald Bay, Inagua Ocean Villas, Gems of Paradise, Riding Rock, Grand Lucayan Resort, British Colonial Hilton Hotel and Atlantis Resort.
