For many engaged couples, the happiest time of their life can also be the most stressful. From cakes and canapes to dresses and deejays, couples exhaustively taste, test and sample it all, with the exception of one of the most important elements of getting married -- their highly anticipated honeymoon. With the notion that one's honeymoon should be just as perfect as the wedding itself, Sandals Resorts, the Caribbean's most romantic vacation experience, is offering a stress-free approach to honeymoon planning through its annual Test Drive Your Honeymoon event. Available on January 14, 2009 and January 28, 2009 for only $149 per person, including airfare, this exclusive event allows couples to take an unprecedented peek at their honeymoon long before they say 'I do' during a one-day jaunt to Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

"When it comes to honeymoons, it is stunning how many couples rarely try before they buy -- especially for what is considered one of the most anticipated of all wedding festivities," Joann Delgin, Chief Romance Officer of Sandals Resorts, said. "What we have created here is an amazing opportunity for couples to feel confident, excited and stress-free about their choice in honeymoon destination. From gourmet dining and luxurious accommodations to entertainment and the exclusive Red Lane Spa, 'test drive' couples experience it all and, as an added bonus, break free from winter's icy grip for the day!"

For couples who fly in to take their honeymoon for a spin, the exclusive sneak peek at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island is available for $149 per person, including airfare. With same day non-stop champagne flights aboard award-winning airline Air Jamaica, the "test drive" offer is available from New York (JFK), Philadelphia (PHL), Baltimore (BWI), Atlanta (ATL) and Chicago (ORD) on January 14, 2009 and January 28, 2009.

In addition to a full day on the shores of Montego Bay, the "test drive" event includes a preview of all of the luxurious amenities offered as part of a Sandals Resorts Luxury Included(R) honeymoon; a lavish beachside lunch; extravagant gift giveaways; as well as wedding tips from the experts at BRIDES magazine. Couples considering a destination wedding will also have an opportunity to learn more about Sandals Resorts' exclusive Preston Bailey Signature WeddingMoons(R) collections, recently
enhanced to include five distinctly themed packages. Following their whirlwind spin, couples who decide to book a six-night or longer Luxury Included(R) Honeymoon in a concierge room category or higher at any one of the twelve Sandals Resorts located in Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia or The Bahamas within two weeks of the test drive event will have the entire cost of the day trip credited to their honeymoon reservation. Seats are limited so couples are encouraged to book early.
