Our wedding will be on the beautiful island of Vieques, Puerto Rico.
The ceremony, reception, and accommodations for some guests will all be held at the Inn on the Blue Horizon.

About 7 miles east of the big island of Puerto Rico lies Vieques, an island about twice as large as Manhattan with about 8,000 inhabitants. It is mainly visited for its 40-odd white-sand beaches. Since WWII, about 70% of the 21-mile long island has been controlled by the U.S. military forces. Much of the government owned-land is now leased for cattle grazing, and when there are no military maneuvers, the public can visit the beaches. The fact that the island is a military base should not deter a visit. It is unlikely you'll hear planes flying low overhead, or that you'll even be aware of any military equipments and personnel when you visit. (Excerpt from Frommer's Guide to Puerto Rico)
