Our Story

Sam and Kristen met on the island of St. Croix in early 2023. Since then they have not wasted a second in starting their lives together. Their whirlwind romance started with the exchange of ‘I love yous' after 1 month, moving in with each other after 3 months and engagement at 9 months. Sam and Kristen enjoy spending their time on island fishing, scuba diving and even patrolling for sea turtles together. Sam and Kristen are excited to have each and everyone of you join them for a weekend of events celebrating their union on the island that means everything to them.

Travel

Airport

The Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) is located about 7 miles from Frederiksted which is on the western side of the island and the location of most of the wedding activities. STX is the only airport on the island of St. Croix. Flights into St. Thomas (STT) would require an additional ferry ride or seaplane ride to get to St. Croix.

Flight Times

We recommend flying in on Thursday October 10th. This will give you the opportunity to get settled in and allow for a day of island adventures on Friday. The accommodations will be available Thursday through Sunday, so if you want to turn this into a little vacation feel free to come down early or stay a few days longer, just make sure to book additional accommodation.

Cars

We recommend renting a car from the airport (and carpooling if you can)! Alternatively, there are several taxi services between the airport and Fredriksted, but they are sometimes difficult to get a hold of and can be more expensive than a rental. Remember we drive on the left!
