WHERE THEY BOUGHT IT

‘My parents have had a home in

Mustique ever since I was a child and

so it didn’t take much to persuade my

husband-to-be for us to marry there.

We had a design with the words ‘share

the love’ created for our stationery

which represented everything about

the day. We had our ceremony on a

cliop, with a choir who gave a gospel

spin to the songs. e service was lled

with children running amok which

just added to the fun. Our palette was

white and fuchsia – the light is so good

in the Caribbean that you can get away

with colour combinations that might

not work anywhere else. Our reception

was during sunset and pink lights

came on just as everyone was nding

their seats. e islanders helped us to

make it the week of our lives.’
