Various shots of a honeymoon couple saying goodbye to their relatives and boarding BOAC aeroplane in New York for Bermuda. The couple are referred to as Grace and Don - Grace is actually Grace Kelly, later to become the famous film star actress! M/S of plane in flight.
In Bermuda we see the couple in matching shorts and white tops getting on bikes outside their hotel and cycling along a road holding hands. Commentator gives full description of the clothes - Grace's outfits come from David Crystal.
General view of Bermuda coastline. Several shots of Grace and Don sailing a small boat across the water, both wearing matching plaid shirts and shorts. Don is sitting behind Grace on the boat and gives her a kiss - she is so pretty!
Next we see them out for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage - nice romantic shots. Commentator tells us that "Grace finds her navy polka dot sundress, with a white pique fitted short-sleeved jacket and matching polka dot parasol just right"! Don wears cashmere sports jacket from Trimingham's.
General view of hotel swimming pool. Grace and Don walk out onto a balcony. Grace wears a long paisley skirt with ruffled flounce and a white linen blouse with peter pan collar. Don lights her cigarette, then takes it out of her mouth so he can kiss her. Ahh, isn't it romantic?
