Couple beats the pre-winter weather with a wedding in sunny Dominican

With winds blistering outside and salt stained pants dripping with slush, it's hard to imagine that Spring is in the near future. And as the Team at The Ring turns up the furnace, we find ourselves lost in photos from destination weddings. The sun, the sand and the vibrant colours almost made us forget that it was minus thirty outside.

Jennifer & Tyler had the same idea when they planned their wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for November of 2009. And now, while all of our tanless bodies dry out, Jennifer and Tyler have their photos to look at while they drift back to their perfectly sunny wedding day, which was held on November 24, 2009. Luckily for us, they've shared their photos and a bit of their wedding story.
