What a better way to start a marriage then by helping others out too?
A new program on the Big Island's Kona coast allows you to share the celebration. If you have a destination wedding at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, the hotel's Pay it Forward program will donate 10 percent of the cost to the charity of your choice.
Not sure if that makes your wedding tax deductible. I'm your guy for travel advice � but don't expect me to navigate anyone's Schedule A.
Packages range from $750 for a simple ceremony or vow renewal with a wedding specialist, three location choices, an officiant, and a specialty lei to $5,800 for a package that adds musicians, bouquet, champagne, cake, Hawaiian wedding certificate, spa treatments, and more.
You can also have the ceremony webcast to folks back home.
Finally, it allows you to put a generous spin on your special day. Click here for some great choices for that charitable donation.
