Destination wedding

Posted online
In July, my niece and her boyfriend got married in St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. About 80 of us showed up.

It’s all the rage, and it’s called a destination wedding. You don’t even have to plan an awkward brunch at Aunt Lucinda’s. Guests entertain themselves by snorkeling and kayaking and shopping and sun worshipping. Fabulous!

We rented villas by the sea and a golf course. And we had a blast. I didn’t check my Treo once in eight days.

We had a few adventures, too. One alert wedding party member saved a woman who was drowning! The bride lost her brand new wedding ring in the Caribbean Sea and found it again with help from a metal-detector-wielding scuba diver.

And they drive on the left side of the road! Fun!
