By Giovanni Grant The Bahamas is the ideal choice for anyone planning a wedding in the Caribbean. However, if you have chosen The Islands as your paradise for a wedding in the sun, which island - or islands - should you visit? There are 16 main islands in The Bahamas, so it's no easy decision to make. Here is a selection of four of the best, all unique in their own ways, to help you make up your mind. 1. The Abaco Islands The Abaco Islands are a collection of tiny islands in the north of The Bahamas. They are the most popular after Nassau/Paradise Island and Grand Bahama Island and a good deal quieter. However, for anyone who would like to do some sailing after a wedding in the Caribbean, these are the islands to choose. There is some of the best sailing in the world to be found here, especially in places such as Marsh Harbour, so if sailing is your preferred method of relaxation, then this could be the place to do it. 2. Andros Andros is an island where you will truly be able to escape from civilization, so if that's what you're after when you're considering a Caribbean wedding, then this is one island you might want to think about. It is actually the largest island in The Bahamas, so you will be able to find plenty of places to escape to! You'll be able to enjoy some excellent diving, especially in its famous inland blue holes. There are numerous local crafts to browse or buy, such as Androsia fabric and straw baskets, and it is also a fantastic destination for bonefishing - one of the most exciting types of fishing available. 3. San Salvador San Salvador is one of the most popular of the southern islands in The Bahamas, so you might want to consider this little gem. Sights to see include Columbus Monument, which marks the spot where Christopher Columbus is said to have landed; Farquharson Plantation, where the notorious pirate Blackbeard was thought to have spent some time; and the still-working Dixon Hill Lighthouse. San Salvador is also a big favorite with divers looking for challenging reef and wreck dive sites. 4. Bimini Bimini is one of the lesser-known islands of The Bahamas, but for people looking for something different, this could be your island paradise. It is the closest island to the USA, and here you will find excellent big-game fishing, fantastic scuba diving, and some incredible sea creatures - including the rare smalltooth sawfish. Regrettably, a fire has destroyed the Compleat Angler Hotel Bar and Museum, where Ernest Hemingway spent time in the 1930s writing "Islands in the Stream" and "To Have and Have Not". Choose Your Island and Have Fun There are many more islands to discover in The Bahamas, but if you are planning a wedding in the Caribbean, the above four are a good place to start. Whatever type of wedding you are looking for, you'll have plenty of choice in The Bahamas, so plan your trip with a reputable and knowledgeable operator and enjoy a wedding to remember!
