| Weddings
Bequians love a
wedding. Outfits are stylish and elaborate and the entourage
may be up to 20 persons including bridesmaids, flower girls, groomsmen,
a page boy to carry the rings, a mini-bride and a mini-groom. After
the wedding it is common for all the attendants to climb into the back
of several open vans tootling around the island in all their finery
before settling at a picturesque site to take photographs.
Many strangers have
decided to take their vows in Bequia, sometimes with a few family
members present, but often by inviting all their family and friends to
combine a Caribbean holiday with their celebration of the joyful
occasion. If you are considering getting married in Bequia it is best to
check with someone who knows the regulations for your license, marriage
officer etc. Many hotels and restaurants will offer special
arrangements.
