Video: Naked couples tie the knot in mass beach wedding
NINE TOURIST COUPLES slathered on the suncream on Tuesday and said “I do” in the nude on a sun-baked Jamaican beach.
Getting married in the buff on Valentine’s Day meant living out a fantasy for Milly Salas, 39, a stay-at-home mom from Bergen County, New Jersey, who had never visited a nudist resort before.
“It was beautiful. It was like a fairy tale,” Salas said shortly after the nude nuptials at Hedonism II, a resort for the pleasure-seeking crowd in Negril, a western tourist town in this largely conservative, tourism-dependent island.
The promise of a Valentine’s Day wedding and complimentary four-night stay attracted over 100 engaged couples from the US and Canada, but only 10 were chosen as part of a nude wedding contest, according to Zein Issa-Nakash, a marketing vice president of Superclubs, which owns Hedonism. One couple dropped out before the big day, which was filmed by a documentary TV crew.
Kevin Young, of Land O’ Lakes in Florida, said walking around au naturelle is what he’s used to since he lives in a nudist community. Getting married without clothes was a no-brainer for Young and his new wife, Shannon Witherspoon. Even body paint was too much for him, he said.
“It was easy for us cause we’re used to it. But some of these other people had never been naked before outside their bedroom,” Young said during a phone call from Negril. “I got to give them kudos, cause they really stepped up and did the full monte thing and got naked.”
