PM ties the knot

The happy couple
The PM and his bride

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.

    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…

      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.

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.

    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.

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.

      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.

  42. May 13, 2013

    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.

      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! :-D 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.”

    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.

    “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!

      May 12, 2013

      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

        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.

      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.

      • May 13, 2013

        @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

        It is not the I am defending him–but his message should be better commended than that rating above.

    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

  114. opinion
    May 12, 2013

    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.

      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…….

  148. May 11, 2013

    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!

      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?

    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.

        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.

      Who asked you to? The man’s happiness begins with God at the head, followed by himself and his wife.

    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.

    • Just Saying

      The PM is not a British citizen. He is Dominican.

      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?

      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?

      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.
