Santorini, Greece

If I had just one chance, one opportunity to live longer and wealthier and if I could reach out to the time where I was about to be married, and I had to choose -- and had the privilege to choose wherever and by wherever I mean WHEREVER -- where I want to be married in, I'd ask for one place and one place only. I would want to, would like to, and would LOVE to be married in my number one list of places I want to visit. Santorini, Greece. It is my dream place to live in. It's HEAVENLY.

In my opinion, it's just the right and perfect place to get married. Well maybe my hope is too high, but it would be really awesome to do that. Although just to spend the honeymoon there, I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't ask for a better place to be, I want Santorini.

The beauty is divine. Its clear blue sea, the white buildings add the sense of how beautiful the place is, it really matches the clear dark blue sea. Flowers everywhere giving colours to each building. The white boats and cruise ships at every marinas to travel or to go on a voyage and enjoy the sea at noon or even at night. The view of the sunset which we can witness while we're having dinner at the restaurants at each side of the cliffs.

Oh my god, just talking about this makes my heart beat faster because I really do want to go there. The imagination I have in mind is like, I am there. Viewing the blue ocean as I have breakfast on the terrace, with my family or my boyfriend. Every picture I see, I imagine myself right there in the picture. I wouldn't be bored living in there.

But the question is "when". And would I be able to go there? Let's hope so.

And here's a bit of the history of how this island turned out to be the most beautiful place in the world -- according to me. I quoted it from Wikipedia.

"Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic explosion that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. A giant central, rectangular lagoon, which measures about 12 by 7 km (7.5 by 4.3 mi), is surrounded by 300 m (980 ft) high, steep cliffs on three sides. The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia; the lagoon is connected to the sea in two places, in the northwest and southwest. Santorini was ranked world's top island for 2011 in Travel+Leisure Magazine. It was also named "the world's best island" by the BBC in 2011"



Well, just to show you how amazing Santorini is, here's a few of the pictures from the internet.
