Tropical Nuptials

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A DESTINATION WEDDING

ARTICLE BY SOPHIE BETZHOLD

Attending a wedding even half an hour away is stressful enough as is worrying about when to leave, what to wear, if it’s indoor or outdoor, what gift to buy, and on and on. Planning for one outside the Texas borders submerged in new foliage and a different climate calls for even more decision-making before heading out the door. Though you likely won’t forget the outfit you selected for the big day, there are many other equally essential items and considerations you won’t want to overlook when traveling for a destination wedding. Follow this outline to ensure you don’t spend more time buying forgotten items than enjoying your loved one’s big day and the beautiful scenery.

PRE-PACK CONSIDERATIONS

To avoid filling your suitcase with ten pairs of shoes, only two of which you’ll wear, or neglecting to bring a change of clothes for the day after the ceremony, it’s important to analyze the details of your trip. Once flights are finalized, take note of luggage guidelines and be realistic about what you can and can’t fit. Researching the weather during the season you’ll be visiting is equally as important as you’ll likely be able to fit more swimsuits and sundresses than large coats and jeans. That being said, you may want an extra layer should it cool down at night while you’re out late celebrating any wedding events or exploring the city if you plan to extend your tropical vacation.

THE NECESSITIES

In addition to arguably the most important item on vacation--your wallet, don’t forget the sunscreen. Such products like Super Goop offer delicious smelling products to keep your skin from turning from a stunning tan to a lobster. In

the event you are more sunkissed than desired, packing your personal items like skincare, hair products, makeup, any styling tools, toothbrush and toothpaste, and deodorant (non-negotiable in a tropical climate), will make you feel brand new for the wedding day. Once you’ve cleaned up, it’d be a shame if you only brought hiking boots and flip-flops, so be sure all necessary items fly with you to your loved one’s big day. Throw in an extra bag for any souvenirs that catch your eye!

ATTIRE

Finding the perfect vacation outfit is a delight on its own, but finding a wedding guest outfit to also match the tropical location is a whole other experience. If the nuptials take place outside, you may regret wearing that long-sleeved dress or black suit jacket sitting on a tropical beach. Pack plenty of options in case you need to hide a bad tan line. For the activities before and after the wedding, remember to pack comfortable, breathable clothing that you’re willing to sweat in and your favorite walking or hiking shoes. If you don’t plan on leaving the beach during your extended stay, then a few extra swimsuits and cover-ups will be necessary, but don’t forget clothing for inside at dinner as well.

THE GIFT

These days, the wedding party usually makes shopping for the perfect gift smooth and easy by listing the registry on their wedding website. Simply navigate to the registry and look through the list of specific items the couple would like. If nothing is speaking to you, or the couple didn’t make a list, feel free to opt for a more personalized gift like a framed map of the wedding location or an engraved decanter. Either way, the greatest gift will be your presence at the couple’s special day!

Take the stress out of your trip by planning ahead to ensure you savor every moment as a guest at your next tropical destination wedding, and remember that the best thing you can bring is a good attitude and peace of mind!

Follow this outline to ensure you don’t spend more time buying forgotten items than enjoying your loved one’s big day and the beautiful scenery.

THROUGH THE LENS OF ARTIST PATRICK REID O’BRIEN

Exploring Your Passion

ARTICLE BY AMY YOUNG

How many blues and greens do you see when you open a box of crayons? When looking at “Night Moves,” it seems the box may be missing a few shades. This glorious painting has so many vibrant shades of blue and green which are completely different from the blues and greens in “Good Morning Charleston.” Judging from the personality in his art, Patrick sees amazing colors that may be overlooked without his passionate heart for art. In fact, his roots are deeply embedded in both painting and architecture design. His great, great, great, great grandfather (that’s 4 greats!) won a commission to design both the restored dome and wings for the House and Senate in the Capitol Building after the original burned in the 1800s. The original paintings of this famous building hung on the wall in his grandparent’s home. His grandmother and mother were both artistically accomplished and he and his father loved to sit and draw together at the end of a day. O’Brien felt the passion to be an artist at the age of 6, but not in architectural design. He shares about driving down the road and being distracted by the view of the world around him. He sees so much color and texture and knew his art would focus on these aspects. Because he was raised among artists, his young decision was an “automatic organic possibility.”

After college, O’Brien began working in a design studio and later combined sales with his art to try a career in advertising.

CONTINUED >

But after a strong pull to pursue still-life art and positive encouragement from his biggest fan-his wife, he took a leap and pursued his painting full time. Traveling fun places and seeing the world in a painting is one way he began sharing his talent. “I wanted to create an homage to places, but not just travel posters.” He favored a more worn look with falling down barns where the sun shines through the slats of weathered wood. Looking at these pieces, the viewer is able to visit the location without ever boarding a flight or standing in line at security. The pop of the sparkles around the Eiffel Tower and the tranquil mood of St. Thomas both call for a well-deserved vacation. Today his art has paid tribute to over 2000 destinations.

In 2020, O’Brien moved from his home in Baltimore of 56 years to Charleston. The undertow, he says, caught his ankles and the low country vibe was calling his name. Walking along the marshes, the tide displayed an abundance of colors, shapes and textures which were all different depending on the time of day he watched. These observations are present in his vibrant paintings of life in the marsh. As an accomplished artist, he professes that he is still a student of art, continuously studying the master painters. To challenge himself artistically, he

paints pictures from his mind instead of photographs. What an incredible task to take all of the stimuli his brain is processing and let it flow through his paintbrush to the canvas. Each cloud, each heron feather, each window, each ripple of the water seen in the mind of an amazing artist. And now we can also see what this artist imagines in more colors than the crayon box can hold.

THE STORY OF HOW RED BUGS CAME TO LIVE ON JEKYLL ISLAND

“This land holds the words “picturesque” and “quaint” close to its heart with its giant old oak trees burdened with Spanish Moss hanging over the streets and bustling club hotel.”

Off the coast of Georgia, the marsh and sand mix to make the 7-mile piece of land called Jekyll Island. This land holds the words “picturesque” and “quaint” close to its heart with its giant old oak trees burdened with Spanish Moss hanging over the streets and bustling club hotel. But past the hubbub at the front of the island, where the chic club hotel caters to its guests, stretched 3,700 feet of runway. Inside the airport’s main building, “Jekyll Island Airport, Cessna 3264 Tango, Left Downwind, Runway 18, Jekyll,” blurts through a radio on a desk. Above the desk, small toy airplanes hang from the ceiling next to a sign that reads “Red Bug Motors”.

In the late 90s, Rich Van Iderstyne, a Delta airline pilot, and his wife Lynn were living in Atlanta and flying to Jekyll Island’s little airport on their days off.

These days off were spent hiking, biking, and playing the Great Dunes golf course. When Rich noticed a house for sale on the island, he promptly bought it, making his luxurious Jekyll vacation days far from over. “One of the main reasons I moved here is because of its little airport,” says Rich, recalling his retirement journey, “but I found out they were going to bulldoze it to build hotels or condominiums. And that made me very, very upset.’’ Instead of saying goodbye to the airport, Rich rallied the troops. He reached out to flying buddies and pilot organizations and requested them to write to the governor of Georgia in a request to save the airport. And it worked. “After the governor left office,” Rich recalls, “he told me that he had never received more letters about a subject that no one had ever heard of.”

Above the desk, toy airplanes hang from the ceiling next to a sign that reads “Red Bug Motors”.

With the airport to remain standing, the island authority reached out to Rich, “Now what? What did it need?” “A bathroom,” Rich had answered, “if you give me the key to the terminal building, I’ll clean everything up. Well, they gave me a key to the little terminal, I cleaned it up and we got that going. And then they said, ‘What does it need next?’” The next goal, Rich explains, was getting ground transportation.

In the early 1900s, when Jekyll was owned and only visited by millionaires, there was an ordinance that did not allow real cars on the island. For a few years, many of the islanders would use small electric and gas-powered golf-cart-looking cars to get around the island until the trend died off. In 2004, around the same time that Rich was fighting for the airport’s survival, Jekyll’s neighboring island, Sea Island, hosted the G8 Summit convention. A small North Dakota company donated a few small electric cars to the convention for the convenience of its high-profile leaders. Inspired, Rich realized that they were both street-legal and insurable and promptly bought ten of them. But he lacked the permission to rent them on the island. With the way that the small island worked (and continues to do so), any disliked business on the island would get booted off by public demand, even when the island authority had permitted it. Attendance at Jekyll Island authority meetings quickly showed Rich both the problem and the solution. With the very mention of any type of scooter or cart on their roads, the retired residents would reel at the idea of roaring Harley Davidson motorcycles on their quaint landscape.

Rich devised a 6-month trial plan and distributed his little cars to his neighbors and the island authority with instructions for them to drive them at their convenience for two weeks, pass them on to the next neighbor, and report back to him. He knew things were going well, he says, when he would ask one of his neighbors to let another have a turn and they would refuse, “No, make someone else give their car to them, I like mine!’” After the 6 months ended, the island authority agreed to a year-long trial of the business, but where would he operate it out of? The idea arose that Rich could operate the business out of the airport building while also running the airport. And that, Rich says, “was like a dream come true” and was really his hope all along. The business officially began in 2005 with the original vision of the old motor cars of days past as the inspiration for Rich’s new “Red Bug Motors.”

The best part of Jekyll, Rich says, is that it remains free of overdevelopment. “We have very little traffic. It’s a great place to come and relax and meditate, it’s a very, very comfortable place to be.” The little Red Bug cars only add to the experience, allowing tourists to truly appreciate the still beauty and quiet joy of the island. In the front window of the airport building, which doubles as the home of Red Bug Motors, is one of the original Red Bugs from the early 1900s. A yellow lab named Peaches, sprawls under it, looking very friendly and sleepy for being titled “airport security”. All over the island, little red motorcars meander past the golf course, the bike bridge over the marsh, and the airstrip with its planes parked in the back and Red Bug cars parked out front.

Our entrepreneurial, team-oriented approach means that you always have access to the resources that you need. We believe that every client has unique goals which is why we believe in collaboration. Our end goal is the same as yours – to help you achieve your life’s ambition. By planning now, you can dream of a bigger future.
