Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We want everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable, so suits are not required. However, if you’d like to wear one, you are more than welcome. For the men, dress shirts with or without ties are perfectly fine. For women, sundresses or stylish pantsuits are ideal, but there's no need for heels on the sand! Reception Attire: After the ceremony, you can switch to something more dress-casual or stick with your ceremony outfit—whatever you feel most comfortable in! Comfort is key, but please keep in mind that photos will be taken throughout the day, and we want everyone looking their best, as these memories last forever.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

In October, expect days with average highs around 88-90°F. The wedding will be outside on the beach, but will be short, so no one should be uncomfortable if you came from Texas or Florida. Our Canadian guests might find it a little on the warm side, but with the ocean breeze, it should still be quite comfortable for you as well!

Question

How big is Aruba?

Answer

Aruba is a small island, about 20-21 miles long and 6 miles wide, making it easy to explore in a short time. You will be close to the Wedding beach in Oranjstad and our Villa near Malmok Beach staying almost anywhere on the island.

Question

Should we rent a car?

Answer

Although Aruba is a small island, there’s plenty to explore, and you’ll definitely want to take advantage of it! Taxis and buses are readily available all over the island, but please note that Uber does not operate on the island. We’ve listed several car rental & scooter companies on our website, and we recommend teaming up with other guests or family members to share a rental car when needed.

Question

Should we bring gifts?

Answer

No need to use up your luggage space for gifts! We’ve set up a registry on our website with a selection of items that will help us as we start our new life together. These gifts can be conveniently mailed back home. The registry also includes cash funds if you’d like to contribute to helping us get started.
