Leave the city lights behind you and lose yourself in the arms of this beautiful crescent shaped island.
The island is itself just a mile away from Houston, but it definitely looks a world away from the noise and the crowd.

The food is excellent - mouthwatering really (watch out all you fitness freaks, you're sure to burst some buttons once you get here).
Once you cross the bridge you will find yourself transported to another world altogether...

The cost of the event includes admission tickets for two, fare for using the wedding site, bridal bouquet, minister's fee and boutonniere.
