RACHAEL RAY hosted a wedding for 33 couples whose wedding dreams were destroyed when Hurricane Ike tore through the Houston region in September. Funjet Vacations knows that a wedding is a memory that lasts a lifetime so, as part of the RACHAEL RAY wedding experience, the company gave them something they'll never forget: a three-night all-inclusive honeymoon to the Iberostar Paraiso Beach Resort in the Riviera Maya.

Many of the wedding couples lost thousands of dollars in deposits and are unable to afford their dream wedding. The devastation of losing their dream weddings prompted Ray to foot the bill for a mass wedding at Minute Maid Park, with partners like Funjet Vacations jumping in to make this a once-in-a-lifetime event. With 500 friends and family members watching, the couples simultaneously recited vows and placed rings on each others' fingers. Family and friends sat at tables adorned with white roses and lilies, sipping on champagne glasses.

For nearly 35 years, Houston has made Funjet Vacations a welcome part of its community and the company is thrilled to have the opportunity to give something back.

"Over the years, tens of thousands of travelers from Houston have made Funjet Vacations their first choice for vacations and today we are excited to give 66 more travelers memories they will never forget," said Funjet Vacations President Mike Going. "The Iberostar Paraiso Beach offers the perfect romantic honeymoon getaway with breathtaking beaches, incredible dining and world-class golf and spa. "

The ceremony will be featured in the episode airing on Nov. 21, 2008. For local show times check rachaelrayshow.com.
