This is the story of a greatly planned Turks and Caicos Marriage Proposal; a story that, just like life, is not always as we expect but nevertheless it’s wonderful.

Sinan contacted me at the beginning of February planning to ask Dilara’s hands in May. Then the pandemic struck and the plan changed, not once, but 2,3,4,5 or perhaps 20 times. Emails, texts, phone calls, reservations… the excitement and a little nervousness grew with the passing of time.

The big day finally arrived: we boarded a sparkling new boat from TCI Car Rental in the direction of Half Moon Bay. The sky turned a little dark, blessing us with the occasional ray of sun but, as Sinan got down on one knee, the rain came and wet the romantic Turks and Caicos Marriage Proposal.

In some cultures, rain on the wedding day is considered good luck, symbolising fertility and cleansing. The same goes for the engagement day. So whether you are superstitious or just prefer to look on the bright side, think of it this way: Who couldn’t use a little good luck on their big day?

How to get to the beach without soaking your clothes?!?

She said yes! Of course!

There’s a reason some of the hottest kissing scenes in movie history take place in the rain; it’s so romantic! 

I love the wild, natural, unique character of the spectacular shoreline at Big Water Cay. The couple looks fantastic in front of it

We tried to take more engagement photos on Grace Bay, but the rain changed again our plan and chose to make us meet again the following day…

Dilara is so beautiful… no wonder why Sinan was nervous 😉

A rose bouquet (by Flowers by EA), wine, cushions, candles: he thought about everything to enjoy a romantic night…

…but the rain had once again other plans.

Everyone loves a good story, and if the rain replaced the Caribbean sun, they are the heroes of the story that persevered and loved every moment of it, the good, the bad and the wet. They are engaged – that’s all it counts!
