 Published:  Mary Jo’s Most Romantic Couple  Ask Bitter End… While Mary Jo is off this issue on a well-deserved visit to the family in the States, we have pulled together a few inquiries we’ve received over the years about romantic retreats and wedding details at BEYC that we would like to share with you, along with some helpful information. Dear Bitter End: What documents are necessary to be married in the BVI? I want to elope with my fiancée while we are there, but I want to surprise her. I want to pack the required documents myself so she doesn’t know what’s going on. Adventurous in Akron Dear Adventurous: Well, I hope it won’t be a complete surprise! But I leave that up to you… To be married in the BVI requires only a passport and a photo ID (if it is the first time for both of you), two witnesses and a three day residency requirement. (If either of you is widowed or divorced, you will need to bring original documentation as proof.) During the three business day waiting period, you can take advantage of all the fabulous adventures awaiting you at Bitter End: over fifteen weekly excursions, a Club fleet of over 100 boats, learn-to courses and adventure packages for diving, sailing and windsurfing and more. Our staff-and in particular, Mary Jo-are all happy to witness such a happy milestone as a wedding! (Mary Jo also recommends that you register with the registrar on Tortola in the morning so that that day can count as one of your three days residency.) Dear Bitter End: Would you recommend a wedding on the beach, at sunset, or aboard ship? Confused in Connecticut Dear Confused: Why not all three? Say your vows with your toes in the water on the beach, and then take off for a sunset dinner cruise around North Sound aboard our power excursion boat Corinthian. You and up to 30 guests can dine while the scenery changes around you! Or, for larger wedding parties, celebrate with a beach barbecue or a pool side dinner with live music to dance under the stars. All of these options are available at BEYC, as well as endless variations that can incorporate all we have to offer. Dear Bitter End: My fiancé wants to bring a spear on the honeymoon to do some “back to basics” adventure fishing. What should I do? Fear of Impalement, Kansas Dear Fear: Relax. Come to BEYC and really relax. Spearfishing is illegal in the BVI, except for the locals, and even they have a fishing limit. We do offer both offshore and flats fishing (and hold a few fishing contests a year!), and while your new angler-husband is taking part in that classic struggle of man vs. nature, you will achieve the piece of mind to decide between swinging in your own hammock, taking off for the day on your own excursion, strolling along our mile of beaches, or relaxing by the pool. I’d recommend a visit to the pool—all the other activities are more fun and romantic with your significant other! For more information about weddings, honeymoons and romantic vacations, visit our web site at www.beyc.com or to talk to one of our Travel Planners, call 800-872-2392. Back in action in our next issue, Mary Jo will be writing about a bride who knew from the age of 12 that Bitter End was her destination wedding location! |
