St Thomas bride update....ROLL CALL

[brookedanielle]

Prettyhazardous,

 

I am ALSO marrying my Marine in St. Thomas! Not on the Marine Corps Bday though. lol. Has your fiancè considered his dress blues at all for the ceremony? They'd be bloody hot, but I have indeed seen pictures of Marines in their uniforms for a STT wedding! I'm quite partial to the blues, but he's not into it. Oh well!

Nope he's not wearing them (he's not active, well he's retired I guess haha that sounds funny bc he's 30) But I wanted to get hit on the butt with the sword. That's not happening tho hahaha.

Greetings fellow St. Thomas Brides to Be!

 

I'm contributing our St. Thomas WC name to the list. We're using Leslie from Perfect Weddings of St. Thomas, she's been great to work with so far and we are sure she will not disappoint us when our big day arrives! I will keep you all posted!

I will be happy to let you know my experience and send photos. We have Blue Glass doing our photography. I love their pix.

I know it's been over a year since the last post....just wondering if there are any new brides out there getting hitched in the USVI??

I'm Kristi, from NYC, getting married on St. Thomas (don't know where yet), date is May 8th, 2010, and I'm thinking of using Janelle from Island Bliss Weddings for my WC. Would appreciate any advice on ceremony/reception sites!!! Thinking of a wedding from 50 and maybe up to 100 guests. My fiance and I were thinking of a very private day, and one where we could customize the wedding to represent us best. Thanks for any advice you girls may have!!!!!!!

Hello Kristmass

I am actually having my pastor come for my wedding. Therefore we're able to work with someone we're close to to create our actual ceremony. We're still up in the air re the reception site but we are getting married on Lindquist beach bc of the privacy this beach offers. Looks like your having a large wedding group. Good Luck I know it'll be special.

Deb

I think that's who we're going to end up going with as well. I also like i think it her name is Ashley Armitage but her prices are just way to much for us.

We almost went with Leslie of Perfect Weddings of St. Thomas. She seemed energetic and professional. However, she was several hundred dollars more for essentially the same wedding as Island Bliss'. Plus, I've read so many reviews of how great a minister Janelle's husband, Stuart, is when performing the ceremony. I know we'll both be nervous, so it would be great to relax with the minister.

 

Last night we picked out Tom's wedding band. We're coming down to the wire now! lol

[Prettyhazardous]

Yea I agree Janelle's prices are so much better...

 

We booked (I think lol) the Grille room for our reception.
