The beginning...

Honestly I don't know where to start and describe the Maldives, therefore I will start by with saying.. we are not married nor are we engaged..
Now I would like to explain what's going on in the pictures.. Maldives is the island, no question about that! If you would like peace and quite, turtles, stork's, a crystal clear ocean and so smooth white sand on the beach as it feels like walking around on clouds, then visit the Maldives.
Also, if you would like to gain weight during your visit then stay at Lily Beach Resort. They have been rewarded 4 years in a row for their excellent food.
The picture;
Peter and I are standing in the 'doorway' to our restaurant for the night. Ibrahim - the best waiter ever, arranged this night for us. From the beginning we wanted to get married in the Maldivian way. When all was set and what we thought arranged, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, no musicians. If we wanted the musicians we had to fly them in meaning $700 extra. At this point I was actually tired of the person who was arranging it all, as he had been changing everything almost all the time. So I said No.
Our waiter Ibrahim then asked us if he could arrange a night in the sign of romance for us?
And he did. When we arrived Ibrahim gave me a necklace made of flowers and he had also brought flowers for my hair. Everyone working in resort was talking about this night, when we got to the bar at night to be picked up and brought to the place, the bartenders told us that the staff had been working for hours so that everything would be the most romantic night that we had ever experience. And it was.

on the beach

As you might see the palm trees were shaped as a heart.. They started with serving us a nice cool coconut drink

Our bed...

When we got back to our bungalow after dinner this is how our bed looked like...
