Travel: Destination Wedding

The idea of a prince marrying an American girl was something the Hallmark channel mastered  – telling a story that could only be a fairytale. I mean, in real life, there was Grace Kelly who married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in the late 50’s.

So I thought it would be fun to share a destination wedding venue to consider in case you are  planning a fairytale wedding of your own.
