St John's Favorite Wedding Minister and Sample Wedding Vows
MEET REV. ROBERT NELSON
Rev. Robert Nelson is St. John’s only ordained Minister allowed to perform wedding ceremonies outside of his church.
Licensed by the Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands, Rev. Nelson has performed wedding ceremonies on St. John for the past 17 years.
If you wish, Rev. Nelson will meet with you a day or two prior to your wedding ceremony. The meeting is held to get a feel for you as a couple, the connection you share with each other, and what you are looking for from the ceremony and vows. Meeting with you also reduces some of the nervousness that might happen before your wedding day!
Future advice from Rev. Nelson, “In my experience, warmth, friendliness and understanding are the key. What keeps a marriage strong is communication, real communication.”
Rev. Nelson offers a variety of wedding ceremonies and vows for you, including his Traditional, Non-Denominational and Island Vows for your special day, as well as Vow Renewals. Or create your own vows that best complement your personalities.
Let me know what you have in mind for your ceremony and vows, or if you wish to select a different Officiate, and we will create the perfect ceremony for you.
Future advice from Rev. Nelson, “In my experience, warmth, friendliness and understanding are the key. What keeps a marriage strong is communication, real communication.”
