Happy Saturday!  I just couldn't go about my business today (which, by the way, includes attending a wedding) without sharing with you a rather unique wedding venue:  aboard a catamaran in Costa Rica.  Talk about taking the plunge!

The Hilton Papagayo Resort, located on a private bay on the Gulf of Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, has put together a fabulous "Catamaran Wedding Package," which allows you to say your vows while cruising the Bahia de la Culebra and the Gulf of Papagayo on a catamaran. 

The Catamaran specifications are as follows:

• 85 feet long, 45 feet wide
• 4 bathrooms, with potable water
• Capacity up to 150 guests (cocktail set-up)

You and your guests will board the catamaran directly from the beach, where you'll have your wedding ceremony while cruising the peaceful waters with a stunning sunset as your backdrop, toast with sparkling wine, have a lovely catered dinner on the covered wooden deck, then dance the night away.  Can it be more romantic?

This package allows for a ceremony for up to 50 guests on the second level solarium of the catamaran, or up to 100 guests if held on the lower level.
