If you plan to attend, please plan to arrive in Aruba no later than Thursday, August 6, 2026- the day before the wedding- to give yourself time to settle in, relax, and get ready for the big day.

We'll be celebrating with bachelorette parties- If you do not plan to attend the festivities that night, please make sure you arrive in Aruba no later than that date (August 6th 2026) for the wedding. Here's what the wedding day timeline will look like (all in Aruba local time) : Wedding Ceremony : 5:30PM-6:00PM (outdoors at the stunning Baby Beach Terrace, overlooking the ocean).

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

For All Guests : We recommend arriving in Aruba no later than Thursday, August 6, 2026- the day before the wedding, to give yourself time to settle in, relax and get ready for the big day! We would recommend you scheduling an morning flight with our travel agent if you plan on being apart of the nightly festivities (bachelorette parties) etc. Later that night, we'll be celebrating with bachelorette parties- Ebonie will be out with her crew, and Asiah will be out with hers. If you do not plan to attend the festivities that night, please make sure you arrive in Aruba no later than that date (August 6th 2026) for the wedding. The wedding will take place on Friday, August 7, 2026 with the ceremony starting promptly at 5:30PM (Aruba Time) at Secrets Baby Beach Resort. So we recommend all guests arriving at the location of wedding (Baby Beach Terrace) at 4:30PM. All wedding events will be held within the resort, so no additional transportation will be needed. *IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTE* : All guests are required to stay a minimum of 3 nights at the resort. Please ensure your travel plans reflect this when booking your accommodations and flights with our travel agent. (All guests will have the opportunity to discuss all information regarding their flight times, scheduling, accommodations etc individually with our travel agent, you will not need to reach out to Ebonie and Asiah, since all bookings for the destination wedding are individually booked, you will be speaking directly with our travel agent regarding your own bookings).

Question

Wedding Party Member Information!! (If you are apart of the wedding, PLEASE READ THIS TAB)!

Answer

Wedding Information For the Wedding Party: *Ebonie and Asiah will be arriving in Aruba on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 as the wedding couple is required to be on the property at least 2 days prior to the ceremony.* Wedding party members should plan to arrive in Aruba as early as possible on Thursday, August 6, 2026. We will be holding a wedding rehearsal (30-45 mins) and a rehearsal dinner (approximately 1.5 hours) that afternoon or early evening at one of the resort's restaurants. *The exact time of the rehearsal and dinner will be confirmed closer to the date.* Later that evening, on Thursday, (August 6, 2026) we'll be celebrating with bachelorette parties. Ebonie will be out with her crew, and Asiah be out with hers. More than likely, we'll be celebrating OUTSIDE of the resort. So please keep in mind to have additional money etc, have your Passports on you, and dress comfortable for that night, because we plan to be moving/walking outside and around the resort quite a bit that night. Wedding Colors as mentioned are Fall Colors. Chocolate Brown, Burnt Orange, Champagne Gold, Olive Green, & Burgundy Wedding Location: The Wedding Ceremony will be held outdoors at the stunning Baby Beach Terrace, with a beautiful Oceanview. The Wedding Reception will be held indoors at one of the resort's elegant ballroom's. Maid of Honor, Best Man/Best Woman, Bridesmaids, Bridegroomsmen/Bridegroomswoman : We'll be sharing more detailed information soon regarding your attire for the big day-including dresses, suits, tuxedos. This will include timelines for ordering/purchasing, trying on, alterations, and pricing. We'll also go over plans for hair and hairstyles, haircuts and makeup- including makeup trial scheduling for those involved. Stay Tuned- Everything will be shared with you as soon as it's finalized! Thank you all for your patience and support as we continue planning!

Question

Wedding Party Member (Important Additional Info) !!

Answer

Bridal Showers : We're currently planning to host the bridal showers sometime in April or May of 2026. Ebonie and Asiah will be having separate bridal showers, as Ebonie's family and friends are located out of state. More details-including the exact date, time, and location-will be shared closer to the event. Formal invitations will also be sent out for the showers once everything is finalized! Save the Dates & Wedding Invitations: We're also in the process of planning our "Save The Date" photoshoot, so Save The Dates and formal wedding invitations have not been sent out yet. Expect for those to be sent out early in 2026. Don't worry- we'll make sure everyone receives plenty of notice once dates are confirmed! Stay tuned, and thank you so much for your patience and excitement as we continue planning everything!

Question

How long is the flight to Aruba?

Answer

Some people have asked us how long the flight is to Aruba. That information determines where you are located. For instance, if you live in Dallas Texas, the shortest flight time for a non-stop flight from Dallas to Aruba is 4 hours and 55 minutes. The flight between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) typically takes this long. Another example: If you live anywhere in Kentucky, there are currently no direct flights from Kentucky to Aruba. All flights involve at least one stop, which can increase the overall travel time. Flight times from Kentucky can be approximately anywhere from 6-8 hours. So because of the shortest time being approximately 5 hours for (Dallas, TX residents) and 6 hours for (Kentucky residents) with a NON-STOP flight, and the longest typically being approximately anywhere from 7-8 hours with a CONNECTING flight, we recommend booking the earliest flight possible with our travel agent. (Please note that these times do not reflect any possible layovers that may come up, since layovers are unpredictable). If you're apart of the wedding party and you're able to arrive in Aruba Wednesday, August 5th 2026 (which is the day that Ebonie and Asiah plan to arrive) instead of August 6th 2026, then that would be very beneficial since we have wedding, and dinner rehearsal, as well as Bachelorette parties scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026. **Wedding Party Members : Please remember, this will be a pretty busy day at the Resort. So try to get on an early flight, and sleep on the plane! LOL! :)** **However, if Thursday, August 6, 2026 is the earliest you are able to get to Aruba, then that is fine. Just make sure it is an early morning flight that day because you will be on the plane for a good while. Aruba is also on a different Time zone. Please be mindful of flight times, timezones, and wedding event times when booking your flights with our travel agent.**

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The Wedding Ceremony will be held outdoors at the stunning Baby Beach Terrace, overlooking the ocean. The Wedding Reception will be held indoors at one of the resort's elegant ballroom's.

Question

Will there be transportation or parking?

Answer

Since this is a destination wedding taking place in San Nicolas, Aruba- where both the couple and all guests will be staying, no transportation will be necessary. The ceremony and celebration will be held within the resort, so guests will simply walk to the wedding location.
