PM Barrow to Wed in Savannah, Georgia

Up to the Minute News

Belize boasts sun-drenched beaches, offshore atolls, the longest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere and a prime minister who's leaving all that to get married in Savannah.
Prime Minister Dean Barrow plans to wed his longtime girlfriend, Kim Simplis, on Feb. 7 at the Episcopal Church of St. Paul the Apostle. The couple opted for Savannah nuptials for two reasons, Simplis said. First, her mom lives there. Second, nearly everybody else they know doesn't.
"We really wanted a private wedding away from all the fuss," she said. "We selected Savannah." The bride will wear a Monique Lhuillier floor-length wedding gown. The groom's attire was undecided as of Tuesday.
Ambergris Today has the inside scoop on the wedding, but for more juicy details you will have to wait until next week's newspaper. Keep posted!
