     Nevis is a wonderful place to have a honeymoon, but it is also a great place to get married.  With the flowers, water, beaches, and the sunsets you couldn't paint a more perfect backdrop.  The settings can be as formal as in London or Paris, or just a very casual laid back affair.  The food that can be catered from many hotels is definitely world class at a fraction of the cost in the states or Europe.  And speaking of costs.......the flowers are so abundant and inexpensive that you could make your honeymoon bed out of them.  Mind the bugs :)

     There is far less bureaucracy than in the States or Europe, however there are a few requirements (see below), but these can be met very quickly and efficiently.  Many hotels throughout Nevis have special wedding and or honeymoon packages, and they REALLY go out of their way to make it special.  I have seen a couple of weddings in Nevis, and I was FLOORED, it was like Mardi Gras, everybody on Nevis will wish you "all de' best", whether they know you or not.  Don't be surprised by cards and little presents from people that you hardly know.  A wedding in Nevis is truly a blessed and special occasion...................too bad we can't learn a bit more from the Nevisian culture!

Nevis Marriage Requirements

1.     Couples can get married on the third day that either the bride or groom is on either St. Kitts or Nevis.

2.     Both parties must have either a valid passport or birth certificate.  If either party is divorced, a decree absolute must be presented.  If documents are not in English they must be accompanied by a notarized translation.

3.     If the ceremony is to be performed by a Catholic priest, it must take place in a Catholic Church, and a letter must come from the couple's resident priest verifying that they are known and unmarried, and have received the necessary instructions.

4.     If an Anglican or other minister of religion is to perform the ceremony, a letter must come from the couple's resident minister verifying that they are known and unmarried

     I first met Paula on-line in the Spring of 1999, she like so many other people saw my site, and e-mailed me for more information about Nevis.  While I am used to this and don't mind, Paula had so many questions that I gave her my phone number to call me....I hate typing.  After weeks of phone calls, and e-mails we had become friends.  This kept up until the late summer of 1999 when I got the surprise of my web site career.  Paula and her fiancee Kevin had decided it was time to invite me to the wedding in Nevis.

     While I was quite surprised and honored by this invitation, I was also curious as to why.  I thought Paula just wanted me to help cook as her chef bailed out, and then I thought maybe it was Kevin who wanted to meet the lunatic that had been corresponding with his future wife for 5 months.  JUST KIDDING both of you!  Actually they knew that I would enjoy Nevis again, and Paula knew in particular that I would use any excuse to escape to Nevis for a week or two.

     Well obviously I decided to go, and I am sure glad I did!  It really was the most beautiful wedding I had ever attended, even if I did have to wear a suit and tie.  The church service was beautiful, the food great, and the people warm and kind......boy could they party too!  All in all, after having been in Nevis 21 times now, besides my first trip, this was my favorite trip to Nevis.  Hey Paula, any chance of renewing your vows in Nevis?  Thanks again for inviting me, and say hi to everybody for me.  Mike
