My fiance and I are an interracial couple planning to get married on St. Thomas. How are interracial couples generally received in the US Virgin Islands?

I've not seen any major difficulty with that here.

You will have no problems in the VI.

There seems to be no big problem down in the VI. I don't care what is said or done. People are people, regardless of color. Cone on down and enjoy our people.

You will probably be one couple among well, not many, but quite a few.

There are quite a few inter-racial couples here and is well accepted. Not to worry!
I am a wedding coordinator here and we also get inter-racial couples. These days, people are much more open minded.
Congrats on your marriage! Hope your day is wonderful, I know it will be!
Great choice on a Destination Wedding!

Why would this be an issue? That is a strange question.We're the USA. It is illegal to discriminate.

I think THAT'S a strange question. You think that because it's illegal it doesn't happen all the time?

parkwilliams1: You'll have a wonderful time here and no worries on the inter racial aspect at all. Cheers and happy planning!
