I'm sure Jack Daniels was leading the conversation when we both decided on Aruba. Why Aruba? We always agreed on the idea of a destination wedding, but we always imagined it as "not the common way to go." That eliminated Mexico, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico real quick... "How about Aruba?" ... white beaches. flamingos. one happy island. no hurricane season. direct flights. beach front hotels. tourism safe. no rainy season. Beautiful sunsets. "Hey... this place is awesome! Let's go scout some locations!" We found paradise.
