If we got both of those, that would put us at 27,500. Would it work like that? Then, after we finish buying several things that we still need for the wedding, we'd surely be well over 30,000. Is that possible? Would that cover tickets for both of us, or would we need that many miles each?

Hey, you're already thinking like a FlyerTalker!!!
Yeah, you need 30k miles each, so if you
each apply for the two cards, and
each add an additional cardmember and make a few purchases, than you're
both in there and going to St. Lucia "for free"! Best wishes!!!
