Getting married in Guam in a year - need help from someone familiar w/ the island in finding these vendors!?

Question

Hey all. Getting married in a year in Guam. Need to find vendors for the following services:

1. Photography
2. Chaplain
3. Bakery (for small wedding cake)
4. Florist (for my boquet)
5. Salon (for hair and makeup)
6. What's the best/nicest hotel on Guam from your experience with the nicest ocean view rooms and most helpful staff in wedding planning?

Thanks a ton!

CONRANGE: The military connection is that Naval station Marianaras and Anderson Airforce base are both major military stations on the island of Guam. It's a small island, and I thought "hey, maybe someone who's stationed there might know of some places" my husband was stationed there and thinks it's the most beautiful place in the world, and that's why he wants to have the wedding there. That answer your question?

Answer 1

My suggestion...if possible work with a wedding planner/co-ordinator who specializes in destination weddings. They may have contacts and can help with any of the legal issues (such as you will need a marriage license..many places have time frames the work must be submitted by). You may also want to consider finding a wedding co-ordinator in Gaum to handle some of the foot work for you.

Barring that, start doing online research. I would also go to the major bridal sites and post there.

And, is you are military or marrying military, there are military stationed in Gaum. If you are marrying a military person, you will be able to get married in the base chapel, use the O or enlisted club (if there is one) for a reception. The commisary should be able to do a small cake (if not to ornate) . If not, there are almost always military spouses on every base who do formal cakes and do hair and makeup from their homes. You may even be able to find a photographer this way!

Answer 2

Yes and no – it is not honestly illegal for feminine virgins to marry, nonetheless it's frequently prohibited inside conventional Guamanian society. There are humans who will do this for a feminine virgin, delivering there is no Patriarch at the groom's facet, often the groom's father. to alleviate her of her virginity simply previous to the marriage ceremony (often forty eight hours). The patriarch might NOT be her possess father, however May be a grandfather (on both facet) or different senior male member of the bride' s household. This culture is fairly not strictly adhered to, and isn't enforceable below regulation.
