The Location

Though it wasn't in the Caribbean, Tara and Chris' tropical celebration went off without a hitch, thanks to realistic planning and a personal touch. The bride's advice: Listen to your hearts and don't feel like you have to be 100 percent traditional, says Tara. This is your one shot to create a memory unique to you.
