Additionally, husbands and wives frequently take advantage of tropical vacations to renew their vows in paradise. On the island of St. John – a.k.a “Love City” – one of the most celebrated connections to those dreams is Anne Marie Porter. A resident for more than three decades, she garnered the title “Barefoot Minister” for officiating at hundreds of seaside ceremonies – from intimate nuptials to gala gatherings.

A multi-denominational, interfaith wedding officiant, the “Barefoot Minister” is renowned for customizing each ceremony. Additionally, she is uniquely positioned to connect couples with local resources ranging from photographer to florist, musicians, catering services, transportation, accommodations, and more. Valentine’s Day has always been a favorite time for couples to visit St. John. For that reason, 16 years ago Anne Marie decided to enhance the enchanting experience by providing a group ‘vow renewal ceremony’ at Trunk Bay. The sunset tradition continued — until this year. Due to the pandemic, the 2021 event will not take place. However, keep in mind Anne Marie remains available for individualized services and celebrations. During this month of love, why not renew your vows in Love City, St. John? What a romantic experience! Although the popular Valentine’s Day group vow renewal is canceled due to COVID-19, an intimate service can be arranged with Anne Marie Porter. The Barefoot Minister specializes in beach weddings and vow renewals, custom designed to please couples – and family members. For additional information call her at 340-626-4658. — Flamboyan On The Bay Resort & Villas
A 2019 US News and World Report – “Why Go To U.S. Virgin Islands “ The U.S. Virgin Islands are “America’s Caribbean Paradise” — the place to see moko jumbies dance at a Carnival parade, hear the lilting patois of a Creole dialect or smell the spices in a saltfish pate (all without losing cell phone reception). You can visit either St. Thomas, St. John or St. Croix, or better yet, spend a little time on all three islands. That way you’ll get plenty of pampering, undisturbed nature and colonial history jammed into one vacation. And bonus: you can pay for everything with U.S. dollars. Each island offers something different. Called “Rock City” for its hilly, craggy horizon, St. Thomas is known for luxury — from the mega-yachts moored in the harbor to the high-end storefronts along Main Street. Located a short ferry-ride east, St. John appeals to honeymooners and nature lovers, with more than 7,000 acres of dedicated parkland plus surrounding pristine beaches. Way down south in the Caribbean Sea, less-visited St. Croix has sugar cane plantations and rum distilleries that offer a glimpse into both the past and the present of the Virgin Islands. St

Marie was wonderful! Such a genuine, sunny personality and spiritual.
The ceremony was beautiful and inspiring. We loved the scripture
Anne Marie selected. Dan and I felt brought closer together as a
couple . Anne Marie chose a perfect spot on the beach for the pictures
and ceremony. She also took so many pics! This amazing lady really
made our little wedding very special, an event Dan and I will always
treasure! We feel like we made a friend for life. Highly recommended!" Natalia & Daniel Berardi East Sandwich, MA. |
