I could be mistaken, but I thought September/October was hurricaine season.

What about the risk
of hurricane season?

If you decide on a tropical destination wedding/honeymoo you must first consider the hurricane season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs each year from June 1st through November 30th. The East Pacific hurricane season runs each year from May 15th through November 30th. The greatest danger-risk is generally during the later months August through October -- with September often the worst month.

Always have a back-up plan just in case. Hurricane paths can sometimes be very difficult to predict, down to the very last minute. Lovetripper.com gives tips for a Caribbean destination wedding/honeymoon during hurricane season: 'In the far southern reaches, the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao (also known as the ABC islands) and Trinidad and Tobago are below the hurricane zone and should be safer bets during the summer and fall months. You'll also find that some resorts offer weather guarantees. At the Jamaica resorts operated by SuperClubs, for example, you're guaranteed sunshine every day. No sun? You'll get a credit voucher for the value of that day, good for one year on your next SuperClubs stay. And, if a hurricane hits the resort, you'll be reimbursed for the disrupted nights and also get a voucher for a future stay for the same number of disrupted nights for use during the same month the following year.'

You can follow each region during hurricane season through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Hurricane Center.
