Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has married his long time sweetheart, Melissa Poponne.
The two exchanged vows at the Bourne Roman Catholic Church on Saturday afternoon, a brief statement from the Office of the Prime Minister revealed.
The ceremony was followed by a private reception at the Skerrit’s private residence in Vieille Case.
According to the statement. the two are expected to leave Dominica on Sunday “for a brief period.”
Speculation swirled all week as news of the impending nuptials began surfacing on Facebook.
Some speculated that the marriage was going to take place in Dominica while others said it was going to be overseas.
However, the prime minister or those close to him remained tight-lipped on the entire matter.
Small world, Skerrit Skerrit how you keep landing them pretty girls nuh . I went to Convent High with Melissa and i dated Skerrit right before i came to the US in 2001 . Who would have ever thought this two
i dont know why everything has to be a big issue. they are not the first people or last people to married, why put on a big show. small weddings are the best weddings to have. people put on big show to impress people focusing on the wedding and no the marriage, marriage is what that counts. the bigger the show the faster the divorce. when u invite people to ur wedding they have so much to say after they full their stomach. at the end we have our debt to pay when everybody good. small wedding is way to go. no loans. especially to young people. it always good to show people your dreams and not tell everyone cause have alot of evil right now
Miss Concern, I compliment you on this statement. “<Every damn in thing has to be this Pappyshow'. No wonder that our people are in the abyss. Our Nature Isle is not producing wealth and our young people come off school and college and university with no jobs to offer.
But all we hear by these "Blind loyalists" of fake Skerrit is Nonsensical patrons and Nonsensical thoughts of: "We love our PM wi..". This is disgusting behaviour and Nonsensical thoughts on whereas our Dominica is suffering with lack of unemployment, no jobs and lacks vision and engaged in this failed incompetent Questionable inmature Labour government.
Our Dominica is in this Abyss ably cc rested and supported by this fake Prime (Odd) Minister and be failed incompetent Questionable Labour government. Skerrit, tell us where the development is taking place" Tell us what is happening, because as civil servant as many years have passed under your supervision and all we see is poverty, no jobs and Red devious…
congratulations you make us very proud luv you guys from: Nya Stedman, Gloria Baptiste and Jennifer menzies
Not our damn business. To rise to this level and your history and over 20 years in office reduced openly our Dominica and our people to one poverty begging, Corrupted Red Clinic deceptiveness, Bobolistic behaviour and you expect we the suffering, unemployed families and people that you promised to elevate us, but you have reduced us deeper into this currupt ants of yours.
Our people have no jobs,, no proper housing and struggling to keep their families and children to to have a decent meal, a comfortable home and house and you have been in desplacing all kind of Nonsensical offers to those in need where the Welfare Division is out of the full resources it needs to take care of our States children, families and degraded villages and communities. This is a failed, incompetent Prime Minister and failed Labour government under your failed authority.
We need change in Government. This Labour government has failed our people.
We welcome formidable decent trusted committed UWP Hon. Linton.
so many comments. what are the calypsonians going to make of this? if it was in the old days Sparrow or Kitchener would have made something of this already, then all everyone would have to do is to sing along with the record.
They look so good together
u r so true!1!!! great post
A lovely dress and handsome couple… happy to see a D/can bride without those ugly white gloves ruining the outfit.
Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
I’m a believer, can’t please everyone so please yourself first. Charity begins at home.
Congrats, do your best, forget the rest.
she is soooo beautiful. PM you have taste. God bless you guys and best wishes in jesus name. woooooow. I am sooo happy.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Congratulation to u both
The PM wake up in the AM, and realized that he need a first lady to cut all the ceremonial ribbons at functions.
I don’t see why the PM have to make the country know he is getting married. That’s the man private life. I cannot understand how some Dominicans can act so idiotic. Grow up! Something good say it good..
Did you say Private?
O Wow! A beautiful woman with a diamond encrusted crown upon her head. Perfectedly fitted in a Vera Wang dress. Then a dashing young man in a bespoke Emporio Armani suit. Photographer needs a slap for poor quality photo, or was it leaked?
copy and paste.
What’s the record for most comments on DNO?
ADMIN: The arrest of the gay men in Roseau broke the record in recent times. Over 800 comments that could be published. More than half we could not publish because they violated our disclaimer….For that story we had over 2,000 comments in all.
Thanks
strupz
woh woh woh something happenning and it exiting
You not easy. So it is exiting before it has started.
LOL…and now the icing on the cake….
The PM may be able to HIDE things from the electorate….but I know WOMEN are better investigators than the CIA, KGB and MI6 put together….
Please, we don’t need a Clinton and Lewinsky saga so behave yourself and be a good husband good sir..
Congrats still!
oh Mel you look great, bright smile oh my pm you look great too the colors just compliment, go on live a happy life, love to you both. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
Congrates to my pm n his lovely wife ….. You did the best thing !! Married life is not an easy road but as long as you an your wife can get along it will go far !! I will continue to pray for you n may god continue to bless you n your wife !! I love you !!
CONGRATULATIONS. May you have many happy years together. My type of celebation i dis the same quiet, religious wedding in 1985 and 28 years on still happily married with two lovely and prosperous children.
May God bless you both and my advise is love,work and trust each other you will be like me one day.
Well done
A majority of these comments are written out of jealousy, ignorancy, and stupidity. You all need to grow up and start thinking in a positive manner. Saw dominachen tau sote. open all you mind.
Show us and tell u where the positive mannrt is, and by whom? Please told tell us that it is this Failed incompetent Skerrit.
We need to focus on our Dominica and it’s suffering people who have to climb up the Financial Centre to receive crumbs from this failed incompetent Skerrit who has failed us and should have never been this Prime (Odd) Minister. Our Nature Isle is in a mess and Skerrit should, must divorve himself from our government and the business of our deteriorated DOMINICA. Too much poverty and Bobol deceitfulness and failure in government.
We desperately need that change in this Failed Labour Incompetent Labour Government.
It’s 2020 and we need to move on. We need discipline, committed, knowledgeable trusted people to manage our Dominica and it’s people.
We welcome Hon. Lennox Linton and his trusted competent professional trustworthy reliable United Workers Party (UWP).
We need our people and our Dominica and villages to be developed under a trusted disciplined…
what is your complexion? are you beautiful?
Congratulations skerrow. I would like you to adopt or father my 3 children please. Their fada is in prison for selling marijuana. So no money is coming in. They only get plain white rice every day and now their legs are getting bow and their stomachs are bloated.

How old is this lady. I hope he is not doing the same as Gaston Brown in Antigua who is 46 years old and marrying a 22 year old child.
eh beh zor pas feb
Lucky Gaston!
papamet
Her age is none of your business, but for you inquisitive mind, she is not an underage child. She is a beautiful, well-developed young woman. And age is just a number, its where you heart is, there lies your treasure.
I am thirteen, and why do I like that comment.
congrats
Why are Dominicans so happy to be continually disrespected? The issue here is not who the PM got married to or who is jealous or any of that petty high school BS. The issue here is that as the Prime Minister of the island, there is supposed to be a level of transparency. When the democratically elected Prime Minister of a country goes out of his way to keep the fact that he is getting married a secret, it begs the question “what else is he doing in secret?” The lack of a formal announcement in this case shows very clearly not only his disregard, but also his disrespect for the people of Dominica.
I agree, if he wants a private life get out of off the public sector.
so he should let Dominicans know to when he is having sex with his wife
u just talking trash wether on no he is the pm he doesnt have to tell everyone his intimate life its his life its not about the country .
Do you
Do you have sense in your idiot? When you are the main face of the country and a political figure as the Prime Minister of any country you can keep your private life concealed but you cannot keep a marriage or attempt to keep a marriage a secret. She is also a representative of the country as his wife. Where in the world does a political leader with the title of Prime Minister or President hide his or her marriage. This is not hollywood. IDIOT!
stupid!! as a leader of a country there certain tings dat u make public. you dont have to invite the whole nation but it is right to at least let the ppl kno u are getting married. didnt u watch the wedding of prince williams in England. Open your brains.
Ok lets say he told u last month,what would u have done from then to now?he did not leave island and not announce it he did,so whats the disrespect,u all have to much time on u all hands go plant some dasheen to sell.If the man had married an afghan i would say ok but one of your own and u all crying hmmm boy i tell u.
this is just bare nonsense give me a break, the man is human too he came out of political life to be in his personal life and kept it a secret that he is getting married, what sort of your or my business it is. chupes come on dominicans come on. we have lil 12 year olds in our house and we cyah control them and we want to control the pm look it. because the man is d pm he supposed to say he getting married. what rubbish is dat for me na. boy i must laugh
You make no sense! I do not care for the PM but no one has to announce that they are getting married. Marriage can be a private ceremony between close friends and family or just the bride and the groom! Where is the disrespect?
Well said.
You are a jackass.Yes, he should be transparent with
matters concerning government,but if he wants to get
married in private and celebrate quietly with family
and close friends, that is his prerogative and nothing to do with anyone else.
Transparency my foot. Stop hating for once. He did not tell you his business. Move on with your life and let the man celebrate what is the right thing to do in Gods eye.
Congratulations to you Mr Skerrit -you did the honorable thing. And to all those who think that this should have been a public affair I think we should respect the man’s privacy. Public office is enough pressure- and as a human being he needs some quiet and private moments too.
Live your life Mr Skerrit and may God bless you and your new bride as you both start your life together.
why do i get the feeling that the pm is getting ready to get out of politics and move on with his life?i have a feeling that after election the pm is calling it quit.(he deserves his freedom)my friend sister in ny say she knew the pm was getting married,not only she knew ,but she knew the date and venue to.lolol.i know she lie ,she’s just suffering from a broken heart i am sure.
the PM is a public figure who gets a salary from the public purse…there should be NO secret about he getting married….his office should have sent out an announcement thru DBS…soo all of you who think its not our business wheel and come again….he is our business as long as he is the PM in case you all did not know….may God be in the centre of this union…
You are right . From now on, when Mr. Skerrit’s wife accompanies him on overseas travel or attends a function the public purse will pay for it. So it is definitely our business.
What a person does in is private life is “his” business first and foremost. He does not need anyone’s permission to get married or have children etc. Dominicans on a whole have a tendency to be obsessed with what goes on in other people’s lives and not mind their business. What would the country of done had they of know about his up coming marriage stake out his residence to see who was invited, what they were wearing and what they were eating? Give me a break, I say get a life all of you who have nothing to do. I feel so embarrassed when non nationals poke fun at us for having long tongues.
Congrats P.M. wish you both well.
The truth hurts:
Sometimes it is best to not divulge one’s personal business, whether prime minister or not. Dominica has a lot of soukouyans stirring their witches pot of destruction against people’s success. Many of them would probably do their “koshoni” against P.M. and wife. Also, many Dominicans hate the man and who knows what they’d plan against his wedding day, out of mischief?
The P.M. is a human like everyone else and is entitle to some level of privacy – give the man a break and allow him to enjoy this most intimate part of his life.
I think they should kill all soukoyans in Dominica, they are too damn wicked.
So u are putting the two that the mayor unstick in Roseau in jeapordy.
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Skerrit.
We know there are many other female who are heart broken but they must understand that our laws only permit one wife to one man. To the heart broken women out there, bow gracefully in defeat, swallow your pride and go find your own man.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
Congrats my PM you have good taste. However, it was a RC Church wedding, one wife for life.
Are there other women? Honestly, the Church does not matter, marriage is between one man and one woman. Extra marital affair is pure ADULTERY.
for sooo much of allu dominicans that try to kill the man for a being a really great PM for the country, after allu try to crucify him for any disaster that go on wether hurricane, death or maybe even using the toilet, allu bad mind evilous ppl expect the man to want ppl, like allu to do coco macacre to destroy his vows.. hell no! and congratulations PM…it dnt matter how much kabourite was there, cause it woukld have tooo much.. ville case wouldnt can hold all that…go shake allu haters bag of coal where all sell it!
Amen to that and I say it serves them right…….those bloody, judgmental wicked, bamsy Domniche’, they know who they are!
Now they can have the dregs and go on their usual “toxic row-row radio” to chat foolishness about other people’s lives. Those backbiters and evil doers got a brilliant surprise! Baych…! More people should follow suit in future.
Buckets of congratulations to the Prime Minister and his wife. May the good lord protect, bless and protect you throughout the hard road ahead of you too. Blessingssssssss!!!!!
congratulation to you your hon pm and your lovely wife and may god bless your union and keep you and wife bless and keep doing what you do for your family and the people of dominica
I love, love. No matter who it is, weddings and love make me smile. Mr. Prime Minister you did the honorable thing by putting a ring on it and walking the aisle. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Skerrit. Now lets have some babies!!!
just think its a little sad that the country were not allowed/invited to celebrate the occasion (as is customary when officials do something big like get married) They could have still had it private but without the secrecy… guess they have their reasons…
congrats and good luck
Man. this whole blog is looking too sanitized to me. So many “names” you never see. Knowing our love of wicked humor I wonder if a lot of these comments were doctored in one way or another. Did the Govt. P.R./ dept. have a hand in this perhaps?
It certainly looks and feels like it.
Which club Peter??
good move boss …CONGRATS …LUCKY I DID NOT SEE HER FIRST……lol
And why do you think she would have been interested in you? Stupes. Every pot has its cover, go find your own pot.
Someone told me that I should have also referenced the sparkle in the eyes of the couple Cornelle Phillips wedding photos as posted on DNO.
Interesting DNO you posted my supplimentary comment and chose nt to post my original comment. What exactly was wrong with the original comment? There was nothing slanderous. All I did was to point out the apparent disconnect between the couple, the glassy eye and the obvious smiling with mouth as oppose to smiling with face. I also made reference of the dude Elvis whose wedding picture was posted on your site and made a comparison.
Your behavior DNO is dispicable and not in keeping with freedom of expression. Wow
My apology DNO. the original comment was indeed posted. Thx
Oh really? What kinda shallow-minded comment is dat? You must be an investigator pwes kai!So its the type of smile and expression that will determine their future happiness nuh? It have plenty out there that have their big bright smile and painting the perfect picture when they outside but when they inside is hell! What kind of smile your woman or man had when allu got married!….I see
I guess the PM must say when he want to use the toilet too.. Papa is not all ur D.. Business
My sentiments exactly, they too damn fast, like row-row and to mind other people’s business! The man’s life is not Domniche’s own, just because he is PM of your island.
Good for him to keep some privacy for himself and wife, who vex they can BOSS!!!!!hehehololnolol……….Good for allu finger pointing, whisper, whispering DA gossips! Get a life!
This is suppose to be a day of jubilance and excitement. Both bride and groom seem distant.
A genuine smile comes from the face not the mouth and what I see here are two people smiling with their mouths.
The face and the eye cannot distort true emotions and feelings.
Remember the dude Elvis and his wife whose wedding picture was posted on DNO. Now make that comparison and what is evident and different is the fact that Elvis and his Wife were gloating and loving the moment – the most important moment of their relationship. The glassy eye on the couple says that they are not connected. The body language even as they pretend to be locked is also indicating separation.
The PM and his wife do need all the luck and best wishes. I have seen couples who have had major quarrels hours before the wedding ceremony but because of the bond of true love and the power and magic of the ceremony these couples are able to dispel the dampness of the disagreement and bring light and exuberance to the ceremony.
As I indicated the eyes and facial expression cannt lie but that is just the way it is. Whatever it is that propagated such disconnection I sincerely hope that they find that connection.
You are chatting pure fouchette!!!!
Why you think people study body language and facial expressions.
I am happy for the PM and his beautiful wife.
I hope they have a few children and he gives her lots of loving.
I am also disappointed.
Our tourism industry has been on a campaign promoting our island as an exotic location. We have so many striking spots on the island. I think that it would have served us all so much better if they had chosen to take advantage of the opportunity to do some PR for Mr. Douglas and DDA!
I won’t comment on the attire, except to say that it looks a little rushed and I was kinda expecting more…
…In any case, the focus should be on the marriage. I wish them well in whatever goals they have set for themselves.
God Speed
That PM der is good at keeping secrets ehh.. I hope he doh keep from his wife
lmao. wooye what allu dont now oder than allu.
Dominicans taking everything to make an issue… is the man wedding if he choose to let it be private very well if he decides to make it public go ahead… If is allu money that paying for the wedding then fine!!!! but allu did not put a black cent and is a Problem. Congats PM Let God Bless this Marriage and let it flourish as the years Go bye.
Whatever reasons he do it for is NONE OF ALLU DAMN BUISNESS! He kept it private i guess to avoid the crowds and persons who would feel left out after not being invited. this wont sway voters to his side anyways. stupes. i still want to be taught how to fish not given a fish! get over this marriage thing, the man marry he marry, stupes.
WHOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS good for those labour rights.. Skeroo didnt want u all at his wedding carmem..lol
wow very good new this monday morning congratulation to u mr prime minister and your lovely bride may god bless you and wife with lots of happiness love and yes babies.
CONGRATULATIONS! Well done. Best wishes and God’s blessings.
in skerrit voice,… ” i am married and that is none of thier damn business…. hehe give the man a break.. he announce the engagement last year allu doe expect him to get married sooner or later and whether the woman pregnant or not that not nothing to do with people.. the man private life is not for dominicans
Congrats PM, and all the best to you.
God’s blessings.
Congrats Mr Prime Minister, live your wildest dreams,u have already earn you gift from the tax payers of this country. hope u have an enjoyable and fruitful marriage and for sure the Palace is under construction so we got a first lady. Beautiful indeed, keep her strong and may the Good lord bless you. I Think its time u should move on!!! haterz have no right!!!
Congratulations Mr Skerrit and your new bride! At the end of the day you can say ..”I did it my way..” You are entitled to your privacy like everyone of us, without a circus!
Sorry Mr Prime minister, but when you are a public figure yiu do not have a private life. The poeple of the country you serve should have been informed. Getting married is a jouyus occasion and should be celebrated with all. The public have the right now to meet this young lady and i hope that as a woman in this position she can now be active in society
congratulations!!
who cares if pm married or divorce? i will cre if he obtain markets for my produce and employment for my brothers and sisters.
The only person who should have gotten an invitation to that wedding is Mammie. No one else. Now if all you tell me Mammie was not there, then I vex.
Public Announcement:
I’m getting married on the 29/6/2013. Reception at Fort Young Hotel. All are invited. Be well suited up please.
Unless you are a public official who we pay to serve our interest then we not interesting in the time and date of your wedding.
What are you trying to say ? Roseau people are thieves? Who have been patronizing your business all the time; is it only country people? How many robberies have you reported or burglary ?
Everything is a roro in Da even those dounce labrites join into that garbage.
A suspected low blow at the Mayor.
Roosevelt should declare himself royal family for life ina Dominica. Dominicans seems to get high on anything
Especially that some have no respect for others and for authority. He did the right thing to marry out of their limelight and scrutiny.
Wow so many comments. This is expected. Sometime ago I heard that he was engaged. From where I reside this weekend I was extremely busy. It is nothing unusual. However I attended a funeral on Saturday. The previous evening I was at the funeral parlor. From sadness to happiness, such is life. Therefore, being also tired and among seeing about other matters I did not access DNO.
Tonight, during a telephone conversation I was informed of the PM’s marriage and to check DNO and so I decided to do just that. Had I known about this good news I would have tried to access DNO sooner.
I do not know the PM’s wife but I know her family especially on her mother’s side. She is a beautiful woman. They look exhilaratingly happy. PM it was time that you got married and start a family.
Congratulations to you and your wife. I wish both of you a happy and wonderful married life. May God bless both of you.
The words of a song which some of you may or may not know: “Everybody loves a lover.” The best we could do is to sincerely wish the PM and his wife happiness. They desereve it.
I am happy for the PM and his beautiful wife.
I hope they have a few children and he gives her lots of loving.
I am also disappointed. We have so many exotic spots on the island. We fighting with our tourism product. The least he could have done was choose one of those exotic locations, and help us out!
I won’t comment on the attire, except to say that I was kinda expecting more…
…I guess the focus should be on the marriage in any case.
All thr time they playing something is happening; and now somethings happening they saying nothing.
It ah grow and she mamma don’t know.
Me ah get married and me buddies don’t know.
The man before said it was a christening..
but it was a ………..
What time was it?
To all those doubting Thomases that think is Q that always making story on de PM he leave dem with their jaw drop this time its real no make up story de picture dere to see. take dat
Congratulation PM to you and your beautiful bride. Love and cherry her. In Marriage, love is the reason, lifelong friendship is the gift, kindness is the cause, till death do us part is the length. God blessings.
Congratulations to you Mr. & Mrs. Skerrit. Long happy life together.
Greetings of connubial bliss to the PM and his beautiful first lady.
To cut down on the divorce rate some communities have adopted covenant marriages. Don’t know if covenant marriage is in vogue in D/A but as part of the wedding ceremony couples are required to recite and sign this covenant marriage statement.
“We do solemnly declare that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman who agree to live together as husband and wife for so long as they both may live. We have chosen each other carefully and disclosed to one another everything which could adversely affect the decision to enter into this marriage. We have received authorized counseling on the nature, purposes, and responsibilities of marriage. We have read the Covenant Marriage Act, and we understand that a covenant marriage is for life. If we experience marital difficulties, we commit ourselves to take all reasonable efforts to preserve our marriage, including marital counseling. With full knowledge of what this commitment means, we do hereby declare that our marriage will be bound by Georgia law on covenant marriages and we promise to love, honor, and care for one another as husband and wife for the rest of our lives.”
by the comments I see here, I THINK ITS WORKING
Congratulations PM I wish all the best in your marriage. enjoy youur beautiful wife on your honeymoon ko k bien happy releasing!
Congratulations to you Mr. Skerrit. It was indeed time! Please take good care of the young lady and be faithful to her until death. I wish you both the best of luck as you move forward. I do hope that the priest (maybe father Shaplis) reminded you of Proverbs 5:15 which says, “Drink water out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your well.” I know you took the right step but it might cost you significantly at polls, as many young ladies will use their cross to express their broken heart.
The eyes have it. The truth really offends.
Where the truth is overlooked and hidden, corruption becomes king.
tell them to get their own husbands this one is taken. I pray for you guys and Mr PM I am ok with not receiving an invitation casue I know you could never invite everyone. We understand and we are happy that you finally took that special step. Long life and healthy kids to you two. dont do anything I never did when I got married . lol
And He take somebody else wife. Allu know how much he pay de odder man for dat?
Are you one of them? Sour grapes.
You are saying : “It should have been me” lol
Go lick your wounds. Som AH will come along as the broken hearts you are referring to other than self they will tell you how they got their current tebeh husbands lolLMAO at thruth offends.
AS much I abhore this regimes greed and incompetence more of it infiltrated leadership .The guy sowed his oats.
personally these are seperate matters from the body politic.
many a man has is doing and will continue to sow their oats before saying I do. It’s a natural and societial phenomenon.
No sexual grudes please don’t mix up the politics with the sweet thing. lol sleep well truth offends
LOL
I left DA over 30 years ago. I love the country, but I remember a backbiting, gossiping bunch of crabs in a barrell. I’m sorry to say that after reading these comments, nothing has changed.
I think you should say a lot of people hasn’t changed instead of saying nothing has change. A lot of things DID change.
secondit expat that’s why I said sour grapes to truth offends lol.She is a victim of her own doing lol she positioned her rear/exposed it like a monkey and got………………………fill the blank truth offends.Go cry your heart out.
have courage some counoomonoo will say I do 2 you in the days ahead.
That is west indian culture and when you meet them in the big country, it eh change. My recommendation to you is to relate to people where you cant speak the language. Learn sign language. Otherwise, do not de-wax your ears and stop reading. Pay attention to nature, the birds, the trees and the bees.
go pwell sonish for somebody
when man married is now woman behind man
I wish all work out well and respect is shown
Let us respect All marriage whether it is in the
AM or the PM

Why the secret? Isn’t he the Prime Minister? Stewps.
Because uno too bloody nosy and fast in everyone’s damn business.
Is not everything allu have to know and chat, chat ideal chat belching toxic bubbles!
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Skerrit and good for allu I say……………let them stay with their big, fat, gobby, toilet mouths wide open now! Allu will get over it and move on to the next gossip row-row by the end of this week! NONESENSE!!!!!ol
Isn’t he human too, and allow some privacy? You want to know the color of his sheet too (don’t get it twisted eh, the one he sleeps on). Give the man a break let him enjoy his married life. When he is settled all you can go back to being all you old selves again. (haters, backbiters, crooks and the list goes on). LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! TONNIR
Well, if he wants privacy he should not want to be the political leader of a country. The two things are diametrically opposed.
Yes he is, But does EVERYTHING he do has to be publicized. I think not.
Congratulations are in order to the PM and his lovely bride!!! My prayer for them is that they always make GOD the centre of their lives. His grace is all they need to live a faithful and long married life.
uncle I always would take that step. congrats from the bottom of my heart. OH AND DONT FORGET TO TELL AUNTY SKERRIT CONGRATS TOO.
“This is so disrespectful and almost childish the way how the PM handled this one. The PM of a country getting married should be made public after all he is a public figure in case he forget. For God sake Mr PM be a servant of the people and stop treat the voters with such contempt.”
I read more than one hundred sixty comments, and as usual some people try to be kind others had to be political, however the one of the most disgusting comments I read is in the quote above, and that one was automatically hidden.
Indeed Skerrit is the Prime Minister of the country, a public figure, nonetheless, he must have some privacy, he has a private life also, hence his private life should have nothing to do with the politics of the day, he is not obligated to get the peoples permission to marry the woman he loves.
I suppose there was some courtship between him and his wife, and small as Dominica is I am sure everyone in Dominica knew they were an item; lovers in indeed, as such the nation should have expected a wedding at some point and time; so all this talk about that did not tell the nation is baloney!
That is his private business: Dominicans too like to be involved in peoples business, you all need to know when to separate peoples private life from their public life, and the office they represents.
You talk about rumor mongers, more than two years ago, in a private forum in which some of us communicates, one of the contributors told us Skerrit went to Antigua, and marry his very wife you know, I am surprised to see pictures of the Prime Minister, and his wife posted on, so this just goes to show how difficult we Dominicans are.
All I personally have to say, it is written; ” it is not good for man to be alone, he who findeth a wife found a good thing” the quote is not written verbatim as it is in the Bible, however it can be found in the Book of Proverb.
Be fruitful and multiply Mr. Prime Minister, have plenty of son’s and daughters, and hope for grand children also, so that if you live to an old age thy will comfort you.
Note: Your wife is a beautiful woman!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
amen! I am in total agreement with what you just said. While I say congrats to the PM and his really beautiful wife, congrats in making that big step and showing men of dca that marriage is honorable afterall, I have to agree that the manner in which he went about it was totally disrespectful. It is okay if he decided not to disclose the location but that is utter disrespect the way it was done. What hurts more is the ignorance of ‘us’ D/cans who think that it wasn’t necessary to properly inform the public and that it is none of people’s business. The issue of invading his privacy on his special day comes up but that is rubbish. Skerrit has enough money to make a giraffe a turtle neck sweater-he damn sure has enough to keep the location of his wedding surrounded with guards/security to prevent any disturbances. The ignorance is sickening. I love my PM to death and I have respect for him and the position that he holds but that doesn’t warrant me accepting everything that he says and does as being right or perfect. Imagine my family in dca finding out from me who live in the US that the PM is getting married on the day of the actual wedding. That is unacceptable. Treat the people who show you undying love and respect with the same love and respect
@well said May 12, 2013
Like most people must have done, you simply stopped at the end of the first paragraph of the message above and you commented.
But your comment is not in agreement with the message as you have claimed. The first paragraph is from another person with grievance against the PM–just as you have done in yours here.
You people need to read completely before you react–for most of the time your reactions affect both–the message and the messenger.
“The nation should have expected a wedding?” But wat i hearing there nuh!! not jobs nuh de nation is “EXPECKIN?”
Francisco, it is the PM and his wife’s marriage. It is his personal life. He reserved the right to keep it private. He is or was not marrying Dominicans. It was not a matter for the public and public attention. Consider if you were in his position. What would you do? Therefore, utilize your common sense.
@Justice and Truth May 12, 2013
You are also another person who read the first paragraph of Francisco’s message and you gave that message a thumbs down, or commented negatively against it–as you have done here. But the joke is on you! Here is a part of the message about the PM’s marriage, below:
“That is his private business: Dominicans too like to be involved in peoples business, you all need to know when to separate peoples private life from their public life, and the office they represents” Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
And so what do you mean by suggesting that the messenger “utilize his commonsense”?
It is not the I am defending him–but his message should be better commended than that rating above.
You that Canadian Moumou there self eh, once she has a coleur wye ay yai (“high colour”) she will be beautiful for you!! Sacrey toneh!!
Creepy! Reminds me too much of another man in history, who did a similar thing in his bunker, under siege. It gives me the shivers. A PR disaster out of all proportions, still good luck to them.
You can subtract one of the thumb downs. In a haste I gave a thumbs down before reading your entire post. I did not realise you were quoting someone else.
I accidentally gave you a thumbs down. Good comment!!
IDIOT……….you’re the childish one if you have the time to take to spend on something such as another’s nuptials.
Of all the very important and more serious thins going on in the world do you really think this is an issue! Now grow the hell up and try to mind your own damn business.
Would you want me in every knook and cranny of your own personal business?! I don’t think so, therefore standards that you don’t set for yourself don’t expect it from other people, whether Prime Minister or no Prime Minister!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Skerrit and good on the both of you, to keep yourself away from all this toxic vibes in DA!
B4 you hate my comment think about this..
So my Bajan friend informed me that my Prime Minister just tied he knot. So confused I clicked on DNO to get more info.
Now B4 I congratulate him, I must say how disappointed I am that he didn’t announced this in advance. Sure your wedding is private but the people – your (friends) – like you call them should know.
In my opinion this proves the huge dissconnect between the PM and the people (friends).
Congrats man!
Oh please
Its not your damn business! Go get a book and read to improve your life as opposed to sitting around sweating the little things that really doesn’t matter or has no significance!
Domniche’too movay tan! Serves allu right those nosy packers like you!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Skerrit and may the good lord bless and keep you away from those sharks and evil doers out there!
I read Several Books and im very content with my life;) Im sorry that my comment got you so worked up! sounds like you are the one sweating.
But you are right this website is for dumb people like you.
It hurt me when I see my crush get married. Lol. But I’m happy for them both. Don’t let those negative comments get to u guys, stay blessed. Who jah bless- no man curse!!!!!! Pm take your bride home tan, start calling each other hunnie!
you mean ‘one’ of his longtime sweethearts..?
…allyou can say whatever, but the vibes looking nice ….congrats to the man ….even though I may be against some of his politics…
Congratulations to the Prime minister and the First Lady, may God guide and bless the both of you, may you be happy, contented, and fruitful in your many endeavors.
congrats to my blessed PM and my cuzzo Melissa, god blessing are upon you two. Melissa is the best match for him she is a well brought lady and came from a great family. kudos cuzzo and my PM.
Skewo your woman at your side and we have your back. what ever choice you make we are with you. In good times we there in bad times we will also be there and that’s what you call a family. You have our support because behind every successful man is a strong woman. when she gets weak it’s your turn to pick her up, not to look down on her. dOn’t push your wife aside to please NO BODY. at the end of the day you are left alone to deal with the void in your soul. I glad with your decision, no matter what people think you move on with your heart. and that’s what proves YOU A DAMN GOOD LEADER!!!

P.S You all make a great couple.
Good luck to you and your wife. To a lucky man and a lucky woman, God bless you both,. Sorry I couldn’t make. It, you know what it’s like, being away on business!! Catch up soon when I return to state! The drinks are on me!
Congratulations Mr. Prime Minister, God bless you and your new Bride,
Two very unhappy faces. I wonder Why!
Same thign i thought. i mean i wish to congratualte them as well but i dunno, i have a funny feeling about this, they dont look connected or very happy. hmm. time will tell.
At least he got married to a beautiful Dominica girl. Congrats my dear PM. If she wasn’t Dominican I would’ve had an old comment but she is. Love life, happiness and behave yourself my boy.
That first picture looking like he have second thoughts, anyway, I wish you well. Now you know what you have to stop Mr. PM,
congrats to u, mr and mrs skerrit, i wish u guys the best of best and a happy marriage. i knw u guys will take care of one another, no matter wat pple say jus knw its d two of all u in it, no third party allow. stay focus and positive in ur marriage and ensure that christ is in it. congrats
Congratulations, God’s blessing. Just love each other. Peace
skerro,ure my Pm…congratulations but I am very disappointed in the way in which you did your wedding.As our Pm it is common courtesy to announce your wedding to the Dominican people..y try getting married in secret?its a celebration of two lives becoming one..n now that u even got married in secret it makes me wonder wat else you do in secret
well i will congratulate the PM first of all but . out of respect for his many supporters and the country i find it was a lil disrespectful to get married in secret. I believe once u hold such a position in a country things like that should not be a secret and i find some of us does accept too much foolishness . wen something is not rite we must stop making it look liek it is rite. There is no way people of England would accept Princess Diana getting married in secret when she were alive, and if Obama was single and got married in secret i don’t think it would have been accepted as something good. Why should we accept to seem unimportant that our Prime Minister got married in secret. my opinion fellow important people.
But his supporters well happy that it was a secret to keep the metveyayas out! The haters that vex.
You’ll get over it by the end of the week! Now move on as there’s more important and disturbing things taking place in the world, even as we speak.
Let’s not get things twisted now!
It really isn’t such a big deal!
Massive congratulations to you Mr & Mrs Skerrit and good job you kept the ideal, gossipers and evil souls out from your nuptials! lol
Best place for them I say! what to be in every body’s business day in and day out!
yes i skerittz good move!!!
Imagine that, a good friend is getting married, you dont know and you are not invited to the wedding. How would you feel ? I mean seriously, I can tell by the comments, the PM has quite many good and close friends who read DNO. Did any of you get a notice or an invitation, or did you find out on DNO ust like me ??…
Congratulations!!! Mr. P.M Wishing you and your bride God’s richest Blessings..
I wonder how many labourites were invited
Congrats if Angelo allyne got married why can’t skerro not get married p m enjoy your honey moon married life is a sweet life Mel girl take good card of your man
why do u pple like to involve politics in everything, for once leave a proper congratulation comment.
Talk about you…….
Congratulations to You Prime Minister and to your Wife. God’s Blessings, A life of bliss, peace,joy,love, success, good health, wholesomeness and complete togetherness in Jesus Name Amen. May you also lead wonderfully and successfully for the good of Dominica.
dear prime minister don’t forget to pray always put God first and everything else will be added unto you.God bless you love you always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wear your biggest smile my pm love your lady even more when you all go through rough times just call on God when things get tough He will make a way for you because He loves you and always will.
Who say married life is rough, that’s a misconception.
Two people can live a wonderful married life without always being at each other throat. I wish The PM and his new bride a happy married life. I love you to each other everyday goes a long way. I know it works I’ve been married for over 20 years and love has seen us through.
clearly you aren’t and have never been married. stop watching cinderella B
ummm “rough times” doesn’t necessarily mean the blogger was talking about quarrels and fights…rough times could be death in the family, illnesses etc.
congratulations to my Prime Minister. who vex lost
E pah mayeh…..Who vex lost
congratulations mr prime minister enjoy your honeymoon Gods richest blessings is what I wish for you and your family I love you and forever will
congratulations mr prime minister gods blessings to you and your wife
congats
Please people, stop being so negative…Our PM got married we should all wish him a blessed marriage no matter ……..what….Congratulations Mr and Mrs Skerrit…may God bless your marriage and may you have many happy years together………
Who was being negative? We are all happy for them. God bless and keep this beautiful young couple.
political strategy to soften us up, let down our guard, and make him appear more endearing before calling elections.
Boss you wrong if you cannot enjoy marital happiness,Well done Mr.P.M. I pray that the good lord will bless you and your spouse aboundantly.May he give you the strength to multiply and multiply well. May your quiver be full and may you be joyful and rejoice with the wife you’ve chosen.God bless you and god bless The Commonwealth of Dominica abundantly.
FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! jealousy! bondie it killin us fast
What a sick comment. Do you expect him to continue living in sin all the days of his life? Divorce have plagued our land, our people are all into freelance relationships instead of commitments. If our PM has decided to commit to this lady I belive its a good step. Our God is a forgiving one, you sound bitter
i had no plans of commenting on the gentleman,s private life but you creole all sin is sin not only not being married is sin know the 10 commandments and the topic of divorce i heard a rumor about one of them is a divorcee
Oh wow! you must be some special kind of idiot….smh
for god with to soften our heart
Ah what a shame that my beloved island still seems to have so many people who just cannot set aside political and party politics for even a minute.
So very sad and not a progressive picture of a populace who appear so consumed with “petty/negative” politics, as opposed to “evolved/objective” politics.
Try taking a moment just to look up to the sky and actually see that beautiful blue skies, stop to smell those lovely flowers in bloom, say hello to someone and give another a compliment along the way………….do all that without once mentioning or alluding to any party affiliation and you’ll see just how brilliant a feeling that is. Try it, you’ll like it! Open your minds to new horizons…….
“If you do not reverse your ways of thinking, speaking and doing, you will remain on the wheel of no motion.” By: Ralpha
Well Skerrit give it to them in their tail part. All who think they know everything about PM they get the shock of their life, now they so shame they saying “is a public figure bla bal rubbish” the man is free to tell or not to tell. He even sent a press release which he did not even have to do, give the man a damn break! Just agree he catch all you and move on. CONGRATS PM!
Well said,you deserve a big handshake.
Are you a member of the don’t tell, don’t ask?
Aren’t you part of the ‘them’?
Congrates my dear Prime minister, welcome too the union. May our good lord bless you and yours….. God is good all the time.

All the best and good luck to our newly weds our prayers are with you all. Bleesings!!!
Sweet. Better to marry than to burn…

Dominicans open up ur brains. . right now am overseas and i’m so happy i left d a. i hope yall know election is right around the corner. yep hes doing dat one kinda private to lol. yah real ting! people use your discernment!!!
I would like everybody to know I am Vernelle Bardouille and I have never commented on DNO so this comment above was done out of spit commenting such is not something I would waste time doing. So I apologize for the stupidity of this person.
who ever you are the curses will full on you and your family .think before type.
Who are you to say someone’s Marriage will not last? I hope yours last if you are married or plan on getting married. Mind your business, don’t try curse God’s blessing it won’t work.
To Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, I pray that your marriage is the bonding of Love, which you have shared with your new wife; for I am sure that Love is the only cord–in substance or Spirit–that bonds two people in marriage.
For the cord of Love cannot be broken, as we see that so many marriages are broken, because Love had noting to do with those marriages.
May God continue to bless your Life, as you serve Him through both: Being the Leader of our Dominica and the Man of the family in your home.
Remember that God wants to be in our lives–so to give the glory–day in and day out, every minute of the day–even while we sleep; that goes for you as well. Blessings!
Where do broken hearts go? To the Red clinic!
This is of such poor taste
You are ruight, the Red Clinic is poor taste!
Marriage is a beautiful thing. may God bless and guide your union.
So what was the big secret…..I just read yesterday on Facebook that he getting married ….
everything is not for everyone so because he going and married he have to announce it everywhere like is a jam?
When he wants his votes he not announcing a jam?
yes he should announce his marriage. Are u forgetting that he his the prime minister?
is that; dcans too so;chupess
i like that, is not a jam is a “PRIVATE” wedding
Congratulations to our prime minister and his lovely bride. Respect!!! God`s continued blessings and protection, to the both of you. What God put together, let no man or woman,put asunder. Enjoy the honey moon, might see you all to have a drink.
Just eight haters? I expected more, jelousy is a sickness. My granf mother always told me if every body loves You” check your self. but Dominica have wicked people eh! This one will produce even more haters, come on make my Day.
Congratulations PM Skerrit! May God bless you two with long life, love, good health and happiness .
Congrats PM. I wish you and your wife all the best. To all the other women, leave the man alone. And PM, please stay faithful to your wife. She is your wife now and that’s a serious commitment.
i agree wit u 100%
Congrats!!! Thanks to the priest for applying some pressure and even Dominicans at large. It worked. Then the same party should put pressure for Justice in Da…GON Emmanuel, Wayne Dalryample etc.
Next time let Felix Augustine Jnr. do the photo shoot.
And to Mel, avoid the port holes and tread carefully.
I tlhink these photo graphs are beautiful -this is not the time or place for cheap advertising.
i hope you passionate about god so…to much politics
There is a lot of politics in the bible. Are you condeming the bible?
congrats my pm
For who ever disagree with that marriage for so hold your peace,\. I DO.
I hope that he takes your advice n all young married men as well as the side chicks who never want to loosen their grip on married and allow the man time with his wife. Let God’s word stand ! Let no man or woman put assunder what God has joined together. Side chicks get your own partner!
Real disrespect for de people. So all you can risk all you lives to take bus from all over to go lagon and celebrate when he win de case but all you not good enough to share in his joy of marriage? Domnichen zor sort oui. Ouveur zie zort non. That was”nt nice at all. You say is you dat de most popular PM in the world and you doh feel it right to let your people know that you taking one of de biggest decisions man does make in their life? Way papa.
PM put on your best smile,today is your special day and give the world that gorgeous smile,like your wife Melissa doing.God has blessed you and he will continue to bless you and your wife,it’s indeed a rough road to travel on but just know what you all are doing.Welcome to the marriage Club .of the year 2013
Congratulations PM. May God continue to bless you tremendously. Remember marriage is an honorable thing and the bed undefiled. Please keep the covenants. Covenants cannot be broken at all. May God bless both you and your beautiful wife. Myself and my family are so very proud of you. Forget about the critics. Communication is key. Keep the communication lines open always, and make Jesus your focal point. I wish you Jesus.It really doesn’t matter what people say, it’s what God says about you. You are special and God made you so. Love from my family to you. Keep smiling. Love that suit and love that dress. Looking gorgeous.
@blessed gift May 11, 2013
I love your comment. You are right indeed! “Covenants cannot be broken”. God ordained marriage which must be bonded by His Love so to sanctify the marriage bed; for Love the cord of the Spirit, which cannot be broken. Praise God!
You meant convennants ‘should’ and not ‘cannot’ be broken. They are being broken all the time and it is getting worse and worse in this world of today. So to him, I say be strong and keep his eyes and ears open. Be Vigilante. If it weren’t for Eve no woman would ever betray her husband.
Man bad, but woman BAAADD.
Love,
Monica Louinsky.
“Monica Louinsky” lol lol lol
@Be on the Alert. May 12, 2013
A Covenant is of God, and it cannot be broken. What ever joins two people and is broken afterward it was not a covenant the words of the oath, which human wisdom composed–those are the ones which are broken of the time, for God’s Love had nothing to do with that oath
Well done PM congratulations and mat God bless you.
Baby bumb? What Baby bump? All you DA people not easy non. And what was all the secrecy about? Skerro forget is he that is Prime Minister of Dominica non and it have certain things that must not and cannot be kept a secret. Is like de man heart was not in that big step so he doh want nobody to know in case things doh work out? Well I only hope all dem beedo laiglise will pray for him to stay faithful to his wife eh. That is not a joke that is serious business.
Amen!!!!!
Real serious… I will pray with u too
That said; we are now looking forward the next episode of ‘ the Musings Ma Ti Pam’
Human where are you from? I suspect you are jealous, go find yours and leave the man alone. He has taken positive step in his life journey and there is know doubt we will have the blessing and prays of his beloved Catholics. Hope you remain faithful to who you have.
Congrats, Mr. P.M. They cannot call you little boy anymore. You are a big married man. Happy life and God’s continued blessings.
Really? Maybe allu want to be invited to the consummation too, afterall he IS a public figure!! Get yourselves front row seats to the wedding night. The man can’t have ONE day of privacy in almost 10 years of public life?
Oh I love you even more my PM, congratulations, may God bless your union,
Please, hmnnnn….one can pay for their banns for it not to be published many persons do that….congrats to the couple…
Congrats pm what a night to get high
Skeeerrrriiit work for me!!..well done Mr.PM
living in sin? Where do ppl get this nonsense from? When two ppl commit to each other they are married.going to the church to formalize is just plain bull and is not necessary.
agreed well said
if u’re a man u just giving a lame excuse and if u’re a woman u sound like u living in denial
@Anonymous May 11, 2013
I wonder why people gave you thumbs down, so many of them start long before they are married before the public–if they ever get married.
In the ancient days, sexual relationship was the way God ordained marriage between two people–but God demanded that those two people remain husband and wife for as long as they live.
Isaac, who was the Son of God’s promise to His people, he was Abraham’s son; and Abraham was God’s best friend. God’s chosen people–the tribes of Israel came from Isaac, who was Jacob’s father.
When Isaac saw Rebecca–the wife which God had chosen for him–for the first time, they both fell in love with each other. Isaac used his mother, Sarah’s empty tent–because she was dead–and that was where God ordained Rebecca and Isaac in marriage, through their sexual conducts.
You are right on! It is Love from God, which bonds two people in marriage–not that human ritual that takes place in the church house and everywhere else–otherwise, why do we now have man and man or woman and woman taking those vows in those same church houses and every where else.
What does God have to do with those homosexual and lesbian rituals, that are conducted by the same priest or clergy who conducts the marriage ritual between man and woman at the same time?
I wish to congratulate the Prime Minister and his beautiful wife,however,I would like to suggest to the wife that she insist a postnuptial agreement is signed. I will leave that their for now,let him enjoy his honeymoon in peace.
Yes Fr. Chaplis, it look like the catholic rule is for one set, no wedding band. Hhhhmmmmm. Welcome to china
You not seeing the man wedding band hard on his finger? What happen you blind na?
Congratulation to my PM wish him happiness and gods grace , HAPPY.HAPPY
Congratulations Sir. Can you people not just say congratulations without throwing mepwi? Even those who say they love him still cannot resist throwing mepwi at the other side. Also when you are the leader of a nation you really cannot have a private life since the persons around you can influence your decisions especially when that person is as intimate as a wife. And for the PM listen Sir everything must not be a secret when you are a leader as this shows weakness in character and a mistrust of those who elected you. It is not about ‘ba yo cou la’ all the time.
the man is entitled to his privacy. and if you had listen to the news you would have heard the press release. use you BB for more important things other than bef and minding people business
If you are married, did you tell yr enemies or any other person that you getting married i sure you self was a secret if u are married, that the man’s “PRIVATE LIFE” MY GOD MY PEOPLE “GIVE THE MAN A DAM BREAK”
I agree 100,000%
well,well.
it was about time. i guess at this time some females being picked up for there trip to the psychiatric unit………lol. sorry for you all. man made his choice. just hope both he and his new wife knows what time it is now and put thier heads together. congrats to them both.
And the unit does not have enough beds. Those who can afford will have to go to Martinique or Miami.
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Skerrit.
I dont blame the PM for not making it public knowledge. He is entitled to some degree of privacy (public figure or not).
Enjoy the honeymoon.
I agree 1,000,000%
CONGRATS TO PRIME MINISTER SKERRIT AND HIS BRIDE MELISSA! GOD BLESS.

Sounds like you kixing and everyone one taking you seriously. Otherwise your statements would not be conflicting like justice and truth.
Or are you really one of those who got a taste of the pie. Cool down. If you are experiencing mood swings, do not hesitate to check Dr Benjamin. Tell him everything, so you can get a full recovery.
Stupez Stupes, Put a better comment, silly girl
vext? the hell is that?
Since this was a Catholic Wedding, where were the banns published? Every couple planning to get married must publish 3 consecutive banns in the parish of both persons in case there are serious objections. I guess the Church can pick and choose who follows the rules. Interesting!
you can as they say it “buy your banns” in the catholic church. I does not have to get published or announced. I know, I was given that option.
*it * not I sorry
No you can opt not to have your banns published
hello yu can pay to have your bans not called .. inform self
Stupessssssssss
In fact, you can circumvent that by getting a special license. This was done so persons wishing to get married privately can do so.
U can pay for it not to be published……
do they publish those of visiting tourists?
even for a church wedding the banns be “bought” ie dispensed with.
You can also pay for your banns. Some people thing they know it all
I wish I could give you the explanation verbatim that was given to me some years ago by a priest. based on the explanation given, what was done in this case is quite possible in the church.
Have you heard the term “purchasing your banns?”. You can do that in the Catholic church you know. I got married in the Catholic church and purchased my banns. This means, I did not want it published. It’s as simple as that!
I understood that you can pay the church to have the banns remain private.
not the church you pay , the registrar who gives the church the permission not to publish
You pay the STATE, not the Church
I agree, I live away, and I wanted to come back home to get married in my church, they informed me that it was compulsory and that I had to at least basic counseling
And???
You can buy your bands. You are not bond to publish your bands, it is not compulsory
As a newly wed in the catholic faith, i can safely say that thats not true. A couple can choose whether or not they have banns published. Please get your facts right before blindly making statements that are inaccurate.
u can choose not to publish it
Smartipants…. U can buy how vows… It’s not a must
*your
You are able to buy your bands….
The banns was bought so it cannot be publish.
Do you know that the banns can be bought also? Research more before you comment
Chupes! you checked to see if the banns were published in V.C? before you make such. chupes
You can buy your wedding band
Or u can purchase it at the registry idiot!
that’s because you don’t know anything. they can register through the courts and then have a priest perform the ceremony!!!! is that something to even mention???? just be happy for the people. dominicans are a bunch of angry birds!!!!
I suppose you are not a catholic to be making such comment. One do have a choice whether or not they want banns published
People can also have a license to wed. Not banns necessarily!
one does not have to publish, you can pay for it not to read in church
I am divorced and cannot get married in the catholic church. So no law no constitution
you must be joking so many people that got married in D/A and banns were never published catholic or none catholic.
Be informed that you can buy your banns so that they are not published.
you can decide whether or not you want your banns published. just have to pay $300 at registry if you dont want it published
one may decide whether or not they want their banns published. if you dont want it published you only pay $300 to the Registry
Every an as his price inluding the Religous leaders.
One has a choice in the matter to call the bans or not. It’s just that you pay more to have them not called.
Congrats Mr. N Mrs. Skerrit.
That is not correct, on island you can get married two ways by banns or by license(buying your banns) no matter where on island you do it those are your options.
didnt u know that bands can be bought?
I stand corrected. But such an important person and member of the Catholic Church should have chosen to be open and transparent with his faith community by choosing to publish banns. This is suppose to be a sacrament not just a contract that you pay for. Anyway, God Bless you Mr. & Mrs Skerrit.
Are you bloody kidding me?
it’s not a public event!
It’s a bloody mariage! It’s not an open call to a sewo…
give the man a break!
stupidity like this makes me understand why Dominica is where it’s at.
you guys are blinded by politics
one can pay if they do not wish to have their banns published. just so you know it is not for one set. my sister got married and her banns were never published. it is just a matter of choice.
There is a very legal alternative called a Marriage Licence which can be obtained from the Ministry of Social Services!
Why can’t you people have some respect for your HEAD OF STATE, and be happy for the couple?
Like OBAMA he is the boss and he can do whatever he likes especially with his private life.
He is not the head of state, at least not yet. That privilege belongs to the President. But of course, people shopuld show respect to those who have earned it.
Every persons bann does not have to be published. if you have the money u can pay for that. When u are getting married pay for yours not be made public public. The Catholic church or any other church does not have to make it public. if you get married in court do they let everyone know. Leave the man and his private affairs alone. Congratulations.
So the question should now be, What is the purpose of the banns being announced”?. So many times persons banns are published only to find out that they are already married and so the wedding had to be called off. Sharplis did that less than a year ago.
As far as I know, this is one of the reasons, so that “if anyone has any just cause” (for example they know that one of the persons is already married), then they can inform the priest or registrar.
ummmm.. geeez when that relationship was established? I’m actually surprised that’s it this young lady here and ther’s even a marriage. No hating just surprised.lolols woosh…
Since LONG TIME.. where have you been….
apparently I need to step up my bef game.
with warm congratulations to the pm
amen,pm is about time,show them u can take it to the next level a be a man,other than dem little boys it have out there,it makes you look more respectbale,congrats
I actually started reading that comment as Am Pm. Hehehe.
Oh How Sweet. congratulations to the PM and his wife. Great how you guys kept this under wraps, and yes PM you did catch us all off guard. But goodluck to you both and baby?. God Bless you all.
I don’t understand why there should be anything but congratulations and blessings for these two. Come on Dominicans, Be happy for people when they do something good.
Will this cause him to loose a large amount of young female votes?
Not all!! We will still be voting for our PM, as a matter of fact he will get more votes. He did what most men are afraid of doing. I am very proud and happy for both of them. This is what a man does when he loves his woman. No more living in sin!!!! A union blessed in the eyes of the Lord now.
That comment was NOT meant to be answered intelligently. lol!
sa ou pa sav pli vyey kiw
It won’t stop you singles ladies because married men are magnets to you all . Hope you young ladies will respect that he is married now.
You can still live in sin even though you are married. And by the way, sex is not the only sin, but it is legal.
No. Some of them still there hoping and bavaying. Well hands off all you piranas. He made his choice, a beautiful girl in and out. Congrats.
wow congrats PM enjoy ure marriage
There is a woman from Marigot whom when she is excited says WOYE MADONNA…well this is a WOYE MADONNA moment…Congrats Mr. PM
Congratulation Mr. PM I wish yourself and bride the best of good luck and a long lasting marriage. God’s blessing to both of you.
My PM om happy for you and the wifey! I pray God bless your union!
Congrats uncle you’ve done the best so far. enjoy your honeymoon, good luck Melissa treat him well. he does the same.
And how are you his neice sweetie?
I trust he saved you at least a piece of cake.
Now what do you haters have to say?
You are pathetic anonymous. This has nothing to do with politics. Most people would wish the P.M. and his wife well. Tey’ll need it more than ever. Good luck to them.
DNO Admin, is that the only pic you got of the wedding? I doubt it!! This pic does not show the true nature of the wedding; it makes them look like they crying. Come on DNO,…there must be a better pic of the couple smiling.
certainly look unhappy…
top secret revealed… chupse!!!!
wow congrats
Eh beh weh …she looks THRILLED
lmao!!!
Was the Cab Sec present. hmmmmmm

You are just jealous….It shows all over your face!

@sad. Right now the haters are the young ladies within your camp. How about that?
hahhahahahahaha heheheheheheheheeh I doh even know how to laugh louder than I have reading this. Dominicans are a case we boi!
is she really pregnant?and is this the reason for the marriage???
Lol! I was wondering why the bottom of the dress had two panels on each side. They were suppose to make her hips look bigger to help cover the baby bump, but it didn’t work. I loveeee her hair though, pretty!
U certainly have not looked at anything fashionable in the last 25 years….
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TO. REMEMBER marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled. THAT WAS A BLESSED STEP FOR BOTH OF YOU. GOD BLESS
They dont look like a happy couple to me oye.. lol
So what again you need to see to make you believe otherwise? Well you better turn to a fly and find yourself on the bedroom wall in vielle case tonight. Then you will get heart attack for your jealousy
I would like to infer from the candle lighting ceremony that it was a solemn moment. common people.
u wish it was u right ha ha looser
You just Jealous!
you probably have catarax
Nice. Lovely! Congrats.
Congratulations PM. You deserve happiness. I am very happy for you. Enjoy the honeymoon! May the Almighty bless this union. Love always.
Congratulations! God bless.
well is either u all choose a messed up pic or they r not happy….
Can’t you all see all the smiles on their faces. Which picture are you watching or do you just have to give a negative comment. Be happy for him at least this time. No POLITICS in that. OMG
@ john doe has not mentioned anything political. Seemed like your mind is full of shaving cream.
oh nvm… NICEEE I like
PM……hmmmm. Will reserve further comments!!!
What hell further comments! Just wish them well and let them go their merry way.
congratz, there comes a time when every man must settle down.
Settle down??!! Dat ain’t gonna happen, dat’ s di reality… She needs to face it head on!!
Hii hater,u need to grab a back seat, u wished it was u right .u lost .ha ha
Should I be happy for him/them? …
yes!
Who asked you to? The man’s happiness begins with God at the head, followed by himself and his wife.
WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER!
Should you not be happy for anyone who got married and better yet, wish the well?
And what does have to do with the price of fish?
in china
if it was in chana they wouldnt get fish is dog rat and chat!
number 1 you cya make sense. number2 they probably had fish in the reception!
This is so disrespectful and almost childish the way how the PM handled this one. The PM of a country getting married should be made public after all he is a public figure in case he forget. For God sake Mr PM be a servant of the people and stop treat the voters with such contempt.
The PM is not a British citizen. He is Dominican.
If you had common sense you would understand what the person mean
the man, like everybody else have the right to keep his private life, private.
whats your problem?
This is by far the best comment made re this whole wedding business.
This is private business not politics.
oh please!!! thats the people’s choice how they choose to get married..He don right make it so .. then people wont say its a labour party convention
It’s none of all you damn business! Go to hell!
Wish I could give u a million thumbs up, lol
As usual
He has a private life to live after politics
Maybe allu want to be invited to the consummation of the marriage too, after all he IS a public figure!!
Stop being a dingy brit. In the life of EVERY public figure there is a moment when they need PRIVACY. Why you wanted to be outside the church like a metveye?
He knows there are lots of haters dont want all u to come spoil his show and come and say is Dominica money he using to married so , accept it the man married he marries so go hug your pillow and sleep good night ,
LOL @ “go hug your pillow and sleep good night”…i like that one.
amen! and that says a whole lot
there was a release from his office regarding his intent to get married. he does not have to invite the entire country. he has a right to his privacy. stupps
your parents doe teach you respect. you probably well single and lonely.If u was de PM you would go and say you gettin married. stupes u have worm in your head
That’s right!!!
sounds like the the leader of the opp eh. We will wait to see how u handle yours if u man enough to do it
Its his life. He is entitled to make a choice whether he wants his wedding private or not. Whether he publishes it or not would not change his decision. All he has to do is inform the country that he got married. What’s the big hala baloo about?
This is the is private life. Eat heart out.
That is “NOT” all you “DAM BUSINESS’ that is the man ‘s private life all you doesn’t have to know everything even if his a public person. Dominica’s come on man “STOP IT”
OMG British Citizen I honestly thought I was the only one thinking like that…That’s total disrespect for the Citizens and they don’t regard it as that…smh…There’s nothing wrong in getting married but the manner in which it was done was utter disrespect.
Did you expect a spectacle? This is obviously what some of you would want. Well, it was not meant to be. He preferred to keep it private for those same reasons. It was his prerogative to do so.
The man is due his privacy and also have a private life. Doh grudge de man because he doh invite you!!
DNO how come the only comments that are hidden are those that say how disrespectful what the PM did?
Congratulations P.M
Congratulations to my PM. I hope she takes good care of you. We all love you and will support your decision.
we all love you???? mmmmm…….minus me wee pal! i have standards.
Very low standards, I am sure.
congrats my pm next level
Congrats Mr. Skerrit!! I wish you and your wife all the best in the future!!! I’m so happy for you!! Marriage is such a beautiful union, cherish your wife for as long as you both shall live!
Congratulations to you honorable Prime minister!all the best in your now even more honorable life!
