Our Wedding

Katie and Phil met in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 2015 after they both recently moved to the city upon graduating from college. After a long day at their new jobs, they met at a neighborhood happy hour, with Paige, Tori, and Neal, all of whom are now in the wedding party, and briefly chatted and exchanged numbers. At the end of the evening they parted ways and promised to meet again. However, once fall was in full swing, they found they both had become too busy, and were constantly asking for “rainchecks” to reschedule, as every time they tried to go on a date, one of them was always out of town! They simply deemed it “not meant to be” and continued on with their busy lives. The universe had other plans. Nearly two years went by when they ran into each other at a mutual friend's house warming party. Katie was walking up the stairs and accidentally tripped and spilled her drink on Phil, and the rest was history! They started dating shortly after and have been together ever since.

The easiest way to get to the British Virgin Islands by air is to fly into the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island (EIS), located on Tortola (BVI’s main island). This airport serves as a hub for most major airlines arriving from North America and Europe. Some travelers may find it easier to catch a connecting flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, or St. Thomas in the USVI. Once you arrive in the British Virgin Islands, you will typically use water transportation to reach Virgin Gorda, your final destination —usually a ferry, charter boat, or water taxi.&nbsp; How to Get to the British Virgin Islands by Air Traveling to the British Virgin Islands by air travel usually involves at least one connection in a hub airport in the Caribbean. Most big airline companies offer flights to hub airports that link to the BVI: San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) is a popular connection airport for U.S. travelers.St. Thomas, USVI (STT) offers a ferry service to Tortola and Virgin Gorda or Cape Air flight direct to Virgin GordaAntigua (ANU) is a popular connection point for U.K. and European travelers.St. Maarten (SXM) and Barbados (BGI) are popular connections for European travelers. From there, many travelers will fly to the British Virgin Islands’ main airport hubs, which include: Terrance B. Lettsome Airport (EIS)&nbsp;Taddy Bay Airport, Virgin Gorda (VIJ) If you’re coming to the British Virgin Islands from the United States, you will be happy to know that American Airlines now offers a nonstop flight service from Miami to Beef Island, Tortola. This short three-hour flight from Miami International Airport to the British Virgin Islands means that travelers will no longer have to connect through Puerto Rico or St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.&nbsp; Additionally, several other popular airlines offer direct flights to connection hub airports that are very close to the British Virgin Islands. Generally, these airlines fly to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) or St. Thomas (USVI), and include major airline carriers such as:American AirlinesDelta AirlinesUnited AirlinesJet BlueContinental AirlinesUS Airways How to Get to the British Virgin Islands by Sea St Thomas to Virgin Gorda&nbsp;Traveling from STT to the British Virgin Islands, you will need to catch one of the Government ferries from St Thomas ferry terminals (Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook) to Tortola. Alternatively, you can hire a private charter that will take you from St Thomas directly to Virgin Gorda. This is a great option if you have a larger group.Once you have arrived in Tortola you will then need to catch an additional ferry between Tortola and Virgin Gorda. You can find all updated ferry times and schedules between the USVI and BVI and ferrys that run between Tortola and Virgin Gorda at <a href="https://bestofbvi.com/bvi-ferry-schedules/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bestofbvi.com </a> Tortola to Virgin GordaTraveling to Virgin Gorda, you’ll typically fly to EIS Airport on Beef Island and catch the Speedys ferry service from Trellis Bay (5 minute walk from the airport).
