Seychelles, the myth
Earthly paradise, unique experience, unforgettable journey... When it comes to telling the story of the Seychelles, compliments rain down. And for good reason! From the plane's window, the spectacle is extraordinary. A lush vegetation of impenetrable green, immaculate white sand, turquoise water bordered by giant palm trees and rounded rock piles... As soon as you land, you know that this archipelago of 115 islands will keep its promises. As for beaches, there's no better place on the planet to find them. Countless, these postcard beaches, with white sand and coconut palms at will, are as pure as on the first day, without deckchairs or parasols, without ice cream or pareos vendors. Destination for lovers par excellence, the vast majority of holidaymakers staying in the Seychelles are couples. On holidays, on a honeymoon or for their wedding, therefore, everyone offers themselves the Seychelles dream as a backdrop to celebrate their love. And many local agencies allow you to organize the ceremony, find a photographer to capture all this on glossy paper, etc.
Mauritius, the postcard
Bois des Amourettes, Trou d'Eau Douce, Poudre d'Or, Rivière Dragon, Sans Souci, Plaisance, Cachette, Sottise... Like its map and place names, Mauritius is a poetic island. A route that follows the end of dreams and is explored like a melting pot of atmospheres, fantasies and adventures... To colour the hearts, it is an explosion of green, jade, turquoise, white, emerald, indigo, red: tones of the lagoon surrounded by foam, endless sleepy beaches, scrap metal railways winding between the Creole huts or in front of the large, somewhat melancholic plantation houses... Long praised for the beauty of its coastline, the quality of its lifestyle and the notorious kindness of its inhabitants, Mauritius finally reveals all its aspects and this extra soul that makes it resolutely unique.
Many foreigners come to Mauritius to propose their marriage, to consume their honeymoon, while it is also possible to seal their union directly in the island - ah, these small altars facing the lagoon, these wedding suites with canopies full of veils! The condition: send some photocopies of official documents three months in advance and follow, on the spot, some simple administrative procedures - partly taken care of by the specialized agencies and wedding coordinators of local hotels.

Tahiti, distant dream
French Polynesia remains a privileged destination for weddings and honeymoons. Many luxury hotels offer special packages: magical accommodation, such as bungalows on stilts, or Polynesian weddings on motus led by Polynesian troops. Because hotels offer newlyweds a new opportunity for union in the form of a Polynesian wedding ceremony. In Moorea, Tiki Village organizes this type of event, requiring prior preparation of the bride who is massaged with monoï oil and then dressed as a real Tahitian princess. Her husband, for his part, leaves for a session of felt tattooing and clothing as a head chef. Back in the village in a canoe with a pendulum on truly turquoise waters, the villagers and priests in traditional costume welcome the happy couple. The marriage takes place in a specific fare and takes place entirely in Tahitian language. However, a translator is present. Tahitian women sing beautiful religious songs, while the man and woman join a flowered royal chair, where they see themselves carried by four warriors. But it should be remembered that Polynesia is an expensive destination and that, apart from air travel, a substantial budget is necessary.
