Dilemma over a date

Every since I was a little girl, I always wanted a beachside ceremony at sunset. I spoke to Lorna at the Wyndham and come to find out the sunset time slot on March 15th is already taken. I could have a 3pm ceremony. Spaces are limited however as to where I could have my outdoor cocktail reception for 70 people if everyone shows up. The only outdoor location available to fit everyone is in the water park. At 3 in the afternoon, I expect it to be very busy. Who wants people splashing about while your trying to have a simple yet elegant cocktail reception celebrating your nuptials? I actually like the pictures I have seen of the water park. It is very pretty with a waterfall and landscaping.

Sunset is the time most people usually start getting ready for dinner or head up to their rooms to change and take a nap. Basically, sunset is the time people head away from the pool. March 22 is available for a sunset ceremony but that's Easter weekend and if I want Dad to walk me down the aisle, I can't get married on Easter weekend. March 29th is also available for a sunset ceremony. The bonus to that date is Aunt Florence will be wrapping up her spring break. Unfortunately, Lauren will have already had her spring break the week before. Hopefully, arrangements can be made so she can attend.

I decided to reserve the sunset slot on March 29th with a cocktail reception to follow at the water park/pool area. It's actually done. I have the place reserved and the date is set. Why am I all of sudden feeling nervous? I know it's going to be beautiful and I can't wait to be Mrs. Brian Lever but I can certainly do without all of this pomp and circumstance. Yet again, I do want the pomp and circumstance so I guess the nerves are the price I will have to pay.

How exciting, Chrissy!! You've picked a date and a location! It was so fun reading your thought process about the month, date, island, sunset time. It was so thoughtful of you to look into peoples' school calendars even. A sunset wedding in St. Thomas will be so beautiful. James and I can't wait!!
Love, Andy
