This evening at about 5:30, wedding vows were exchanged between Sidney Louis Perefitte, Jr., 34, and Vanessa Lisandra Vellos, 32, at Bacab, a popular ecopark for locals and tourists alike, located at Mile 14 on the Hattieville-Boom Road.
Sidney, tour operations manager for Bacab Ecopark, is the son of Sidney Louis Perefitte, Sr., and, his wife, Maria Dolores, of 15 Mahogany Street, Lake I.
Vanessa, marketing and public relations officer at the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is the daughter of Russell and Christine Vellos, of 1584 Buttonwood Bay.
The reception for the happy couple, also at Bacab, followed the wedding ceremony.
Officiating at the ceremony was Pastor Godfrey Usher, a cousin of the bride’s father.
Friends and family “bashed it up” at Bacab, and then later repaired to the residence of the bride’s parents, where the “bashing” went on until the wee hours of the morning.
