Let's gatecrash a wedding this weekend...

Fun facts from the Fodor's Bermuda guidebook:
  • "Most major airlines offer non-stop services to [Bermuda]" - well, that's stretching the truth a little (American, US Airways, Delta, Jet Blue, Continental, BA, Air Canada is all) and where would you stop en route?! 
  • "As soon as it starts to rain, Bermudians talk at length about whether it's a passing shower or "tank rain.""... completely accurate, I get super excited when it rains now and immediately put the washing machine and dishwasher on!
  • "You won't get very far in Bermuda until you learn the unwritten rule of greeting complete strangers with a "Good Morning" or a "Good Afternoon," followed quickly with "How are you?""... completely accurate... I've seen a bus driver refuse to give tourists directions until they said Good Afternoon; it was super awkward.
  • "Locals love reading the marriage and death notices in the paper, as weddings and funerals are huge affairs with plenty of gate-crashers. It doesn't matter whether you know the person or not, it is simply assumed that any church service has an open door policy." ... Erica, is this true?!
