Minister to marry on Culebra?

Author: linda grinbergs (---.jersyc01.nj.comcast.net) Date:   07-19-05 21:10 Hi, We're eloping to Puerto Rico in September and will be on Culebra for a week. We have found a nondenominational minister who can marry us on Vieques, which is fine, but were wondering if there is anyone on Culebra who has the authority to marry people. We'll have the paperwork together beforehand. Just need somebody to make it official and a couple witnesses. Anybody? Thanks -- linda g

Author: Tami (---.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) Date:   07-20-05 08:07 Molly and Jerry bought a darling house in Culebra a little over a year ago. They are from the states and now resighn in Culebra. Not only do they rent part of their lovely home out to vacationers, Jerry is a riverboat captain and can marry you!...They are the absolute most fun couple. If anyone ever goes to Culebra they have to stay with them. Not only are their rooms airconditioned and spotless. they use their car to give you a tour of the Island. They will snorkel or scuba with you and Molly will cokk the most AMAZING food for you...Give them a call..they still have their Pennsylvania Cell phone #..here you go 412-519-7896 Tami

Author: Andra Perdomo (130.85.57.---) Date:   07-20-05 09:52 My husband and I eloped in Culebra on Dec. 27th 2003. We contacted the local judge who is based in Fajardo and flew him to Culebra for a few hours to perform our ceremony. Let me know if you need his contact info. Also, keep in mind that you will need two witnesses to be there and sign paperwork for you. Since we truly eloped we had noone to do this so we had two of the judges friends come with him to be our witnesses and one served as the photographer and one as the videographer - it worked out great!

Author: Tami (---.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) Date:   08-08-05 11:06 Hi, This is Tami again....I am replying because I made a lil mistake in one of the replys I already made to this subject. Molly and Jerry are the best people in the world to stay with in Culebra..I am not going to take that back, But I mentioned that Jerry is a riverboat captain and can Marry people..well he is a sea captain (not a river boat captain. whoops my fault) and he has not gotten his license yet to marry people at sea.. (however is working on it)..so Sorry at this time Jerry can't Marry anyone but keep checking he eventually will! Sorry for the wrong info in one of the above reply's Tami Tami

Author: Andra Perdomo (---.umbc.edu) Date:   08-10-05 11:29 Linda, The emails I send you keep bouncing back - so I thought this would be the best way to get you the information I promised. The Judges name is José Millán. His number is: 787-655-0620 ext. 2023 or ext. 2020. His office hours are 8:30-5:00. He only performs weddings on Saturdays and charges $350 if you get married between 1 and 4 pm and $600 if you want to get married in the evening because then he will have to spend the night on the island (I guess there aren't any flights after 4). His English isn't that good - but we wrote our own vows in English and he did his best which wasn't bad. You will need to meet with him prior to the day of the wedding to give him your paperwork and blood test results but his office isn't far from the ferry terminal. If you need anymore information please let me know - I am happy to help.

Author: linda grinbergs (---.jersyc01.nj.comcast.net) Date:   08-12-05 12:14 Thanks for all the information. Andra, I'm keeping those numbers as backups. A woman from the tourism office has helped us find someone local who can marry us and a plan is coming together. This website has been very helpful in planning our first trip to Culebra. It's good to read about other folks' experiences on the island. linda g
