popular property. “I try to meet with the clients the morning af-
ter they arrive so they can relax before the ceremony. We then
make an appointment and go to the lawyer's office,” Sexius
says. The paperwork then goes to the attorney general's office,
where the marriage license is issued.
Sexius notes several points for travelers planning to wed. St.
Lucia has public beaches. “When we have beach weddings we
cannot tell people to get off the beach.” The Royal St. Lucian
moves ceremonies as close as possible to the hotel property.
“Most guests are mindful of the ceremony and are discreet.”
Also, the marriage officer in Castries has the final say over the
exact time of the wedding. Finally, says Sexius, “The thing I
need to be mindful of is that I have no control over the weather.
We must put in a contingency plan in case of bad weather.”
