Now that it's legal for U.S. couples to tie the knot in Tahiti, here are our tips for planning a wedding in Tahiti and our picks for the best places to get married in Tahiti with a look at ten resort locations where couples can enjoy a traditional Polynesian ceremony with a vibrantly-dressed local priest and dancers, or a standard Western ceremony with a justice of the peace or minister (or some combination of both) that's as memorable as the South Pacific setting is gorgeous.
