Intro
Welcome to OurArubaWedding! What is this site about? Its being developed as a resource that couples can use to help each other in planning their Aruban wedding. I am a newlywed who shares my story of planning our Aruban destination wedding. When we started planning we kept thinking to ourselves, “Why isn’t this easier?” We were kind of naive in thinking that we set a budget, pick a resort and they take care of the rest! For some couples it really is that easy. For us, this has been work.
After we decided a destination wedding was right for us, the first thing I did was start ‘googling’, desperate for information. I was hoping that I’d find the resort that was just right, the set-up that was perfect, that set of pictures I could point to and say, “That’s it! That’s what I want!” (And of course hopefully the groom wants the same!) Turns out that’s much easier said than done. Not only is the inspiration harder to find than I expected but did I mention we are paying for this and have a budget we have to pay attention to?
Well we ended up having an amazing wedding and learned a lot along the way! There were ups and downs but in the end we were so happy and had the time of our lives. So, is this story over? I hope not! I would love to ‘pass the torch’ to another bride-to-be who would like to share what she learns. If you have something you’d like to share, please let me know! If you want to blog about ‘the process’, you’ll be amazed at the support you receive from other brides going through the same thing. Or if you simple have some helpful information you’d like to share – like notes and photos from a site visit, please pass it along!
Thank you so much to all the wonderful brides who helped me plan the most amazing wedding I’ve ever seen!
