Trip their most memorable yet
She first visited when she was ten months old. Since then Rebecca Banasko, 30, has made 22 trips to the island. But when she arrived here last month, that trip was her most significant.
She and Desmond Wong, from Liverpool, England, were married at St Dominic's Roman Catholic Church on March 10, at a fairy tale wedding ceremony which was attended by Rebecca's parents, Martin and Mari; her siblings, Christopher and John; Desmond's mum, Ann Wong, his sister Melissa, and her boyfriend Paul Greenshield.
"I love Barbados and really wanted to get married here. Ideally we both wanted a beach wedding, but since Catholic priests only conduct ceremonies in the church, we have to settle for photos on the beach," said Rebecca, just days before the wedding.
Her parents first visited Barbados in 1979 at the suggestion of a friend, and have made 25 trips to date.
They recalled bringing Rebecca to the island when she as a mere ten months old. Their two younger children, John, 20, and Christopher, 28, have visited on 20 occasions. "Originally we stayed at Coconut Court," stated Martin, then we purchased timeshare in 1997 at The Crane Resort, and have been returning regularly since then. "The only time we did not visit was when the children were at university:'
"We love the island and the friendly people. We water ski, scuba dive, and the children have all learned to scuba dive here."We've done everything! "We've also spent our first 15 years on the West coast and ten years on the South East. It's a great contrast," he added.
Martin, a writer, disclosed they always visit as a family, and it was Rebecca's dream to get married on the island. "Weddings take lots of money at home, and we wanted it to be just our event where we could connect with each other," Rebecca added. It was Desmond's first visit, but he, too, fell hopelessly in love with the island. The newlyweds stayed on the island for an extra week to celebrate their honeymoon. Rebecca is a forensic scientist, while Desmond is a logistics manager. They all plan to visit again next year. (Friends Magzaine, April 22, Barabdos)
