Couple
to Celebrate 10 Year Anniversary with Ceremony Under the Sea
Celebration Webcast at www.GotoStCroix.com
St. Croix - US Virgin
Islands – June 2004 - On Thursday June 24, 2004 Ed and Molly
Buckley, the owners of SCUBA dive shop in St. Croix, celebrated
their tenth anniversary with a ceremony under the sea. The couple
appeared at 1:30 pm live at www.GotoStCroix.com before they take
the plunge and again at 6:30 pm for a champagne toast. Images
of the underwater ceremony, taken by Doug Kaufman, will be posted
on www.GotoStCroix.com. Guests from around the world have been
invited to log onto www.Gotostcroix.com to celebrate with the
happy couple.
Captain John Macy, better known locally as Big Beard, will officiate
the underwater ceremony. He has married more than 500 couples
in more than 15 years as a licensed minister on St. Croix. Witnesses
of underwater weddings sign the marriage license the same way
as guests registered - underwater with a grease pencil on a waterproof
document.
Diving is provided by St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures,
voted the number one dive staff and number two dive operator in
the world and is a PADI Gold Palm IDC facility. For more details
visit www.stcroixscuba.com.
The ceremony will be videotaped by Jerry Merten who specializes
in underwater films. Thanks to special gear provided by Ocean
Reef Group, the voices of Big Beard and the happy couple will
be recorded from under the sea.
 On
September 13, 2003, Big Beard officiated, Jerry videotaped and
the crew from SCUBA dive shop orchestrated the largest under water
wedding according to the Guinness Book of World Records. [Click
here for story.] More than 103 guests attended the underwater
wedding ceremony of John Santino and fiancée Toni Wilson.
Though Ed and Molly are having a much smaller underwater ceremony,
it is expected that more than 15,000 will celebrate with the couple
by logging onto the webcam at www.GotoStCroix.com/live.
