The New Beginning Wedding

According to the Mayan Calendar, December 2012 marks the end of an era and a time of renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings. To honor this historic moment the country of Belize is offering a variety of destination wedding packages. The go to gal for a Belize destination wedding is Lara Goldman, the founder of 12 Productions Belize. She will hook you and your family up with one of the many small boutique resorts (they are all small in Belize) and can coordinate your celebration from the foot of a waterfall to inside the world famous Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave (aka ATM Cave.) If you decide to celebrate your nuptials on the official end of the calendar, 12/12/12, you may choose to become a part of the Marriage of Many celebration. The plan is for twelve couples, along with 6 of their closest friends and family, will marry en mass on the Maya ruins of Cahal Pech.  For more information contact Lara at 12 Productions Belize.
