Jessica and Christiaan knew when they got engaged that they were destined for an island destination wedding. Negril, Jamaica made the cut and was the host for the couple's big day. No one wanted to miss out, and in the end, 86 guests made the trek to the infamous Caribbean island.

The couple took full advantage of the island setting and spent the event seaside. The couple's chosen color palate of pale green, pink and cream was well suited for the tropical locale. The ceremony took place overlooking crystal clear waters and under a sheer canopy.

The reception also took place over looking the Caribbean Sea on an outdoor deck at the Rockhouse. Jessica and Christiaan were fortunate to have a sun-soaked ceremony, but the reception wasn't so lucky. Halfway through the evening the celebration was interrupted by torrential rain. Luckily, the couple was easy going and simply moved the festivities inside.

Storm clouds couldn't keep this couple's joy at bay. Despite the downpour outside, the party danced and celebrated through the night. Jessica and Christiaan may not have been fortunate in terms of weather, but the level of turnout for their wedding shows they're lucky in life.
