Very true, however I doubt we would hold two men in a Canadian prison for 3 months while we investigate a fight they had nothing to do with. It is sad that this happened right on resort as well.

 

I am suggesting new brides that are looking for venues do not use the DR (if possible) as away to show the DR that we stand as one and we will hit them were it hurts...there pocket books. Tourism is a huge industry for this country. There are many other great locations that offer the same result. I posted this so that other brides would know whats happening and make a sound decision if they are still looking for a wedding location. This would show a tremendous amount of support to a man who did nothing wrong other then protect his new wife from harm.

If this were a regular occurrence, I would agree. But we can't boycott countries over isolated incidences.  
There is no need to be scared to go to the DR. If you are scared, perhaps stay on your resort and don't go out at 3 in the morning. 
(They actually weren't on the resort, btw: "Vernon, who runs a design company with his wife, Anne, said the wedding reception at the Bahia Principe Esmeralda resort wrapped up at about 11 p.m. and the newlyweds and about 10 of their friends went off to dance at a disco. He said 3 a.m. found them getting a bite to eat at a 24-hour buffet table.")

I don't know, I think being put into jail over Facebook comments, and then failing to have adequate security and being beaten while you're waiting for bail to the point that you will never recover from the brain damage is pretty bad.
And if you want to find horror stories, you can for any country.

Here's a whole book about unfairly imprisoning foreigners in Canada.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
