FAQs

The Wedding Website of Diana Dabao and Christine Merritt
Question

Where are we staying?

Answer

We are staying at one of the condos at the Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina. If you want to stay here too, they can be reserved via AirBnB or Vrbo. Please reserve early as the condos are rented quickly! But anything near or on Sapphire Beach is a perfectly good location. 😊

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Dress comfy! Rock your favorite slippers or sandals, bermuda shorts, or that breezy summer dress you love. We just want you to feel good so whatever makes you feel your best!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! Please see the travel page on our website for recommendations.

Question

Can guests stay anywhere on the island and still be “near” Sapphire Beach?

Answer

Yes — but with a caveat: “near” is relative. On an island of this size, you can stay many places and still reach Sapphire Beach without excessive travel. Here are some thoughts: If a guest stays on the east side (East End, Smith Bay, Red Hook) they’ll be very close to the beach — likely under 10–15 minutes by car depending on exact location and traffic. If they stay on the north or south side, or in the “town”/capital area (Charlotte Amalie), they’ll still be fine — maybe 20-30 minutes away. If they stay far west on the island, it may be a longer drive (30+ minutes) because of winding roads and elevation changes. Since the island is only about 13 miles long, nothing is extremely far. Even from “opposite ends” the travel isn’t typically more than 30-40 minutes, depending on roads and traffic. Our recommendation: Yes — you can stay anywhere on Saint Thomas and still get to Sapphire Beach easily. However, the closer you stay to the East End/Smith Bay area (where Sapphire Beach is), the shorter the drive will be.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

We have no wedding registry. Your presence is the best gift — we truly mean it. For those who’ve asked, we do have a small cash fund to help with pre- or post-wedding activities and hobbies we enjoy. Please know there’s absolutely no pressure to contribute.

Question

How should I RSVP?

Answer

To RSVP, go to the RSVP page on this website. Please submit your RSVP by January 15, 2026 so we can plan accordingly! Thank you in advance.

Question

Is there a direct flight from San Diego to St. Thomas?

Answer

No — there are currently no nonstop flights from San Diego International Airport (SAN) to Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on St. Thomas. You’ll need at least one connection, maybe two. Please also check our travel page for more details.
