In the instance of inclement weather, the ceremony will take place at the St. Louis Catholic Church. Decision will be made by 2:00 prior to the ceremony - if not notified, someone will be at the French Art Colony to direct you to the Church if that decision is made. Let's all just keep our fingers crossed that we will not have to worry about that...

Matt and I will spend the first week of our marriage in the beautiful St. Lucia. We are staying at the all inclusive Sandals Resort at Halcyon Beach (I think they may lose money on us that week since it is all inclusive!) We will spend 6 nights relaxing and exploring the island!
