This all sounds like a well performed logistical feat. Congratulations on getting it done.

Late update; Main group arrived on Tuesday and settled into to Blanc Bleu. Dinner for 13 at Eddies the first evening. Most of the next day was filled with last minute errands with dinner at L'Isola that night for 10, very good. Dance floor was also getting built/started, a first for this villa. Thursday was more of the same with the rehearsal dinner for 50 at Le Toiny. By Friday most of the guests were on island and welcome reception from 6-9 at Nikki Beach, very nice. Sat was the big event so lots of hair and make up people all over the place. Wedding was at the Catholic church just off the harbour in Gustavia. Service was officiated with 3 Fathers, one from Miami and 2 from Rome, magical. Reception for 110 was at the villa. Decided at the last minute (Friday) to put a tent over the dance floor as the forecast was iffy. Dinner service finished and the party got going. Rained/poured at 11 for about 3 minutes, guess the tent was a good idea! Sunday was a pool party with about 80 guests, some folks had Sunday flights and could not attend. Monday was a chill day and prepack for Tues departure. The bride informed me that most of the items I had shipped down on Tropical, she wanted to take back to the States. All in with boxes and luggage we were at 27 pieces! Made 2 runs to SBH and SBC were able to get them all on several planes. At SXM AA was very helpful as we had the entire front of the aircraft booked. All in all, it could not have gone any better!

Photos and Video are being edited now, so will post once I have them.

Fantastic, successful party, I'd say! Congratulations to all!

Absolutely loved this flashback and update to last April in SBH when you first posted. Thank you!
For me, an Alaska born nephew and 50+ year Alaskan resident sister (the Mom) are in the throes of planning a mid-July wedding at a wilderness destination 150 mi north of their Anchorage home. SO excited about that AND the (annual) week of fishing after out of Seward on their ocean faring boat. Life is fleeting; grabbing every moment and very happy to read this update to such a joyous event

Now its on their nickel!
May have to wait a couple of years as my SIL works in PE. His States based firm wanted to open a European office and he was chosen to run it. They will be living in Amsterdam for 2 years as of Sat.

I was born in Anchorage, before it became a State. Visited a few years ago, beautiful place.
