April Wedding Planning

[KevinS]

My best guess is that the inability to send Bruza93 a private message is a “feature” of the forum’s software. I don’t know for certain about the XenForo software, and with the site’s new owners I don’t have anyone to ask, but it is common for forum software to have restrictions on private messages to/from “new” members. “New“ can be defined in many ways, sometimes age - how long a user has been a member - sometimes the number of posts that a new member has made, or perhaps something else. This is not something that the site’s Moderators can see or change.

To Bruza93 - Didier is a known and trusted on-island person.

I tried to send you a private message, but it was not allowed. very odd. please send me one if you wish bruza93 as I have info that you may be interested in.

I was able to send one. Very strange.

Mods typically have different abilities. Some restrictions are over-ridden for us.

 

[didier]

Whirlwind 7 days! Stayed at villa The One as basecamp. Monday we had food tasting and mixologist at the villa. They arrived at 11 and did not depart until 5 p m. Extremely happy with both of outfits. Food was amazing!!! Saw reception venue both during the day and at night, beautiful. DJ was squared away along with flowers. Visited the following for either welcome party or rehearsal dinner; Cheval Blanc, Nikki Beach, Mamo, Le Toiny, Bonito and Tamarin. I visited Gumbs, SBC and SBE. Event transport will be with Discovery, had not ever seen that number of private vans or taxis. Looked for La Pinta rum at several shops and was told only Le Repaire has it. Secure 50-100 small bottles for gift bags and they will label it with the wedding logo. Girls even found time to shop Fri and Sat.

One and done.

We had our on island wedding planner there as well as the one we are using in the States.

Update: We are now 60 days out! All the venues a set as well as staff for the reception dinner and recovery day. Current confirmed guest count is 114 with room for another 6 we are waiting to hear a "yes" from. Formal invitations go out this week. Contacted SBC to see if they can add another flight on the 15th for a few that are late to book. I am using Tropical shipping to get the guest weeding takeaways to the island, Had forgotten about them but members on here helped out. Used them 20+ years ago to ship furniture from there back to the States. Priests are booked, with one arriving from S FL and two from Rome to preform the vows. More to follow.

 

[Bruza93]

Countdown has begun. shipped everything we did not want to transport, through Tropical this morning, very cost effective! 75 bottles of La Pinta are wanting for pick up to apply wedding logo to each one. 116 guests are confirmed.

Sounds like "so far, so good!" I hope that all continues to go smoothly!

A different kind of journey & hoping for pictures on the days you've planned so carefully...so that the only 'hitch' is when they say 'I do' ! Thanks for your taking us along on the arrangements!

My first wedding was on St Croix in October 1968, flowers for the ladies were from the garden, the best man sang the Lord's Prayer & a lovely dinner in Frederiksted followed by a brief honeymoon on St John.

Sounds like a memorable time, Nancy . . . tradition and a nod to an anthem of the day ("San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)") . . . the "Summer of Love!"

All systems are go! Touch down at SBH @2:30 tomorrow. Planners are already on the island, shipped items arrived and through customs. 112 guests confirmed. Did not give too much thought to transporting ladies gowns! Wedding dress weighs around 30#s and is 6' tall. No, I have not seen it, that happens Sat. Somehow we will get everything to the basecamp. Photos up, if I have time. We are off to Africa 3 days after the event.
