difference in no way diminished the importance of the occasion or the joy it brought to all involved. In fact, dad was proud almost beyond words at the decision taken by first son.
"We are overwhelmed with joy," the elder Johnson told Outlook. "You feel really proud and feel glad that somebody would want to repeat something you did 30 years ago. We felt honoured that our son wanted to follow us in such fashion. It was also a very proud moment for us, the bride's parents and all who attended," the elder Johnson said.
The bride's parents, Stuart and Jane Lamont, took the trip from England to witness their daughter get married in a tropical paradise. The occasion was made even more majestic by the rich heritage surrounding the late 19th-century Anglican Church.
The bride's sisters: Morag - bridesmaid, Claire and Ruth, and brothers of the groom, Nasser - best man, and Kareem Johnson, along with Brian Simpson, comprised the bridal party.
After the Reverend Canon Glen Prince performed the official duties, witnessed by family and close friends, the wedding party went to Shaw Park Gardens for photographs then to Claudine Villa for the reception.
The happy couple spent their weeklong honeymoon at Couples Tower Isle before heading back to the United Kingdom.
