The geography of this part of the Caribbean can add to the romance of a St Lucia honeymoon.
Historical location contributes to the romance.
Saint Lucia is part of the Lesser Antilles island chain of the Caribbean, also known as the Windward Isles.
Dating back to the age of sail and a total dependence on the natural environment to travel across the Atlantic, the name of this group of islands comes from their relative position further east in the Caribbean, closer to the trade winds, and there is also a group of Leeward Islands further north in the Antilles chain.
The trade winds and the trans-Atlantic currents and mark the dividing line between these two groups of islands.
St Lucia shares its status as a Windward Isle with Dominica, Martinique, and Grenada.
Barbados is sometimes considered a Windward island.
Unlike many Caribbean islands that are built on limestone and coral foundations, the Lesser Antilles chain is volcanic, and many people will remember the events of Montserrat over the past decade when the whole island was evacuated because of an eruption.
Saint Lucia itself was formed as island relatively recently due to volcanic activity.
The three highest peaks of the island, Mount Gimie and the two Pitons, were originally volcanoes.
Sulphur springs, near Soufriere (French for sulphur) is billed as the world's only drive-in volcano.
These sulphur springs are a result of a weak spot in a volcanic caldera, high temperatures and an underground connection to the nearby ocean.
The result is superheated steam, strong smells of minerals, and a fantastic way to spend an afternoon learning about the geology of the island, and even take a dip in a mineral spring after returning to town.
Of course, many people choose St Lucia weddings because of the island's beautiful sandy beaches.
But for some, geography may also play a role.
