Re: Did anyone get married in November???
I got married in November and was in the same situation regarding the weather. We split our time up between Puerto Rico and Aruba. We spent 6 days in Puerto Rico and then went to Aruba for another 6 days. The weather in PR was great. While we were in Aruba, it rained 5 out of the 6 days we were there. I have heard that Aruba hardly ever gets rain, but it was terrible when we were there. The streets were flooded and it rained all day and night.

We didn't honeymoon in November - but close enough we did 10/24 - 10/31. We went to St Lucia - the weather was great. One day it rained for about 20 minutes (we were snorkeling so it didn't effect us). And they day we were leaving it was cloudy - but didn't rain. Your best bet if you are not sure is to ask a travel agant they have the most info on where is the best to go when.

We got married in November and went on a cruise for our honeymoon. I was worried about the weather too but it was beautiful. We went to Key West, Mexico, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.

I was the end of November beginning of December, so we were pretty much out of the hurricane time of year. We went to St. Lucia and I don't think it rained at all, but once or twice got really dark and cloudy.
We also went to Antigua and it rained one day there, for about an hour very hard, then for a few hours after that it was like misty.
Oh, St Lucia for 4 nights, Antigua for 6

we wnet on a cruise in October & did quite a bit of reseacch on weather. When we went it was the end of Hurricane season, we got maybe a 20 minutes of rain the whole time we were in the Carribean. By November it shoudl be fine in that area. We looked into the FLorida keys, but it was still risky in October.
Some of the guides we had on our various shore excursions said the peak tourist time in the Carribean starts in December, so Novemebr is probably a great time to go.
We went to St. Thomas, St. Martin, St. Lucia, Antigua & Barbados.
Was there any place in particular you were considering?

We went to Aruba and it did rain, but we kept hearing from all the natives that it was sort of a freak of nature and an after effect of all the hurricanes last fall. Typically, it doesn't rain much there. It did flood the streets, but I think that is due to the fact that they don't usually get much rain, their storm water system couldn't handle what was there. So, if you go this year in Nov., you may have beautiful weather! We are thinking of going back for our first anniversary and not worried about the rain. Even the days that it did rain, it didn't rain all day and we managed to get out on the beach every day but one.

We got married in Nov. ( towards the end) and the weather in Jamaica was perfect and sunny. I think hurricane season ends in Dec. -
Check the averages for when and where you are going, maybe that will help you decide.
Good luck

We got married mid Nov but didn't go on the honeymoon till December.
We went to Costa Rica- the weather was great! It is sooo amazingly beautiful there and it's not pricey.
