ARUBA IS A TOP DESTINATION FOR WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS


NEW YORK - April 19, 2010 - Aruba’s romantic environment of sunset-lit beaches and private beach coves has long endeared the island as a wedding and honeymoon destination. As one of the hot spots for both weddings and honeymoons in the Caribbean, couples seeking romance in Aruba find they come away with their fair share of memorable moments to accompany these momentous occasions. 

Aruba invites visitors to fulfill their dreams of romance, indulging in a trip where the sun and sand are constant and the island offers extensive couple-oriented activity,
dining, shopping and nightlife options. With weather and beach location being two key elements in planning any romantic trip, it’s no wonder that Aruba is always a top
choice for destination weddings and honeymoons.

Couples are also reminded that Aruba offers a one of a kind online destination bridal registry which makes the Aruban experience grand. The Aruba Bridal Registry offers friends and family of the couple the opportunity to purchase a part of their wedding or honeymoon as a wedding gift.  From hotel stays to sunset sails and candle-lit dinners, the Aruba bridal registry offers wedding guests multiple options to pay for vacation expenses at a variety of price points.

Destination Weddings in Aruba
Couples choosing to get married in Aruba generally have their civil ceremony first - the legal part of the wedding - in the morning, followed by a beach blessing in the afternoon or evening.  Civil ceremonies always take place in the Civil House, which is a historic, sea-colored renovated mansion in downtown Oranjestad. Couples then have the choice of many luxurious hotels and resorts where they can hold their ceremony and reception. From beach blessings on the sugar-white sands at sunset, to receptions aboard a catamaran, to reciting vows to the gentle rhythm of steel-pan drums, Aruba offers an authentic island experience for couples tying the knot.
