The Wedding Must Go On

A dream beach wedding for Matthew Lamberti Jr. and Natashja Udzella was scheduled for today, October 5th at 3pm at Super-Inclusive® Breezes Resort & Spa – Bahamas in Nassau. Due to the threat of Hurricane Matthew, Breezes' wedding coordinator suggested rescheduling; however, the bride and groom from Coatesville, Pennsylvania were adamant about having the date remain, as the 5th is significant to them: they met, then got engaged on the 5th, Natashja's birthday is the 5th, her best friend was wed on the 5th, and her wedding band has five diamonds. So Wednesday, October 5th was not to be changed! The wedding was held today, October 5th at 10am at Breezes Bahamas' West Beach Arbor in front of 24 family and friends.

After the nuptials, the couple admitted they were nervous they would be unable to have their beach wedding as envisioned, but were ecstatic to receive a call this morning from Breezes' wedding coordinator to confirm the beach location. Matthew said, "The weather was perfect, nice and breezy, very light rain and the seas were beautiful." The mother of the groom, reflecting on the coincidental name of her son and the barreling hurricane said, "My Matthew is stronger than the Matthew that we are all waiting for."

Breezes Bahamas is organizing special amenities for the couple, including petal turn down service, in-room champagne and fruit, breakfast and mimosas in bed, a private candlelit dinner on the beach, and complimentary treatments at the Blue Mahoe Spa.

Following the ceremony, a reception was held in Yellow Elder Ballroom. Hors d'oeuvres, open bar, cake, and champagne was served. The bride wore a beautiful white, off the shoulder dress adorned with crystals; the groom sported a handsome grey suit with peach accessories.

Breezes Bahamas, Nassau's first and only Super-Inclusive® resort, sits on a 1,000-foot stretch of legendary Cable Beach. In addition to accommodation, virtually everything you can eat, drink and do is included in one simple, upfront price with no tipping allowed.
