Couple returns to ‘heavenly’ Seychelles for silver wedding anniversary

A couple from UK returned to what they described as ‘heavenly’ Seychelles this week to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary.

This is not just any vacation: they have returned to the islands where they tied the knot 25 years ago.
Gerard and Angela Barte got married at the Reef Hotel on the bright and sunny afternoon of May 5, 1986.

They took their vows under a traditional thatched gazebo and the lovely and dashing bride was given away by the hotel manager Alain St Ange.

Mr St Ange is today the Seychelles Tourism Board’s chief executive and the couple paid him a surprise visit at his offices at Bel Ombre yesterday morning.

“I can still remember that day when I walked Angela, who was carrying a white umbrella, to the groom. It was a nice, simple but very romantic wedding,” said Mr St Ange.

Gerard and Angela said they couldn’t have picked a better place to declare their love for each other and since then, they have visited the islands again in 2006 and now in 2011.

“We wanted a special location for this very important moment in our lives,” said a smiling Angela, adding: “We wanted somewhere magical, romantic, unique and with plenty of sun and sea. Seychelles was all that.”
Gerard, who is French but married an English bride, said the fact that both their languages were spoken in Seychelles, made them feel a special bond with the islands and they knew this was the place they had been looking for.

“Seychelles is beautiful and we knew we would feel at home here. People are so friendly and we made a lot of friends,” he explained.

Upon their return to the islands in 2006, they decided to spend more days here so as to better appreciate the place and culture, and they took the occasion to renew their vows at the St Paul’s Cathedral.
They are back now for their silver anniversary and though they are not planning anything special, they just feel they have to be here for this milestone.

Since they are now better acquainted with the islands, they are enjoying island hopping as they visit Mahé, Praslin and La Digue.

“We love the islands, the food, the friendly people and everything else that makes this destination very special to us,” they said.

They noted that a lot of developments have taken place in the country but the charm and character that make the islands unique in every sense of the word, still remains.

The couple has a 24-year-old son and since he has never been to Seychelles, they are planning to bring him along next time they visit.

“We have visited other destinations, such as the Caribbean, but Seychelles has the greatest appeal. We have sent a lot of friends to Seychelles and yes, we will be back to visit because the experience gets better each time,” said the couple.
