Ask Patty...
Patty's organizational skill is one reason we have the best wedding program in the US Virgin Islands; she really can make lemonade out of your lemons. Her father, Teddy Kurpiewski is like that, too. He can pack 5 pounds of laundry in a 3 pound sack.
But natural planning ability is only part of Patty's secret, the other part is being prepared: she knows the road to an enjoyable wedding is paved with questions answered before they are asked. Here are a few of her favorites–
- Will I have to promise to obey in the ceremony?
Not unless you want to.
- How long before the wedding does my application have to be filed?
The court requires 8 working days prior to issuing the license. We find one to two months before the wedding is about right.
- I've been divorced. Do I have to prove it?
You bet! The court requires a certified copy of your final divorce decree. This is not a document you normally get at the time of your divorce. Give me a call, and I'll tell you how to get it and what to do with it.
- “I'd like to get the cake, but I'm watching my weight.”
Wedding cake has no calories.
- I don't drink, but I'd like a toast to our future, what can I do?
We have sparkling cider in champagne-looking bottles that's cool, refreshing and non-alcoholic.
- I have the loveliest picture hat I'd like to wear, will it be too windy at the beach?
Yup.
- My groom wants to get married barefoot in his tuxedo, can he?
That's why you come to the islands, dear, there's nobody to say you're doing it wrong.
- My bride wants to wear a bikini wedding/bathing outfit, how about it?
She'll have to cover up when you go into the court, but otherwise, see above.
- My sister made me a silk bouquet to carry, do I have to get flowers anyhow?
No way. Everything Weddings by IPS offers is á la carte, the packages are only suggestions of popular combinations of services- you don't have to get flowers, cake or any extras you don't want.
- Can I see Bermuda from Magen's Bay?
Maybe if you squint, it's 860 miles North of here.
