Love at first sight…it may sound cliché, but it was just that for New York couple Katelyn and Sal Bucchio. The second Katelyn saw Sal, she immediately fell head over heels for him. The two met while she was bartending at a restaurant that he was an investor in, and when Katelyn first saw him during a meeting at the restaurant, she said, “He is the one; I am going to marry that man!”

For so many of us, getting married on an island is the ideal destination wedding. Aruba’s beautiful beaches and nearly unending days of sunshine assure flawless nuptials. But nothing can put a little sting into your wedding day than a sunburn. Aruba’s cooling trade winds can be deceiving—those rays are strong and sunscreen is your best friend on the island and should be applied daily while enjoying the outdoors.

Beach brides Erin and Amanda chose Aruba as the locale for their destination wedding. The wedding was set for October (hurricane season) when Amanda, a school teacher, had a few days off during a fall school break, so weather was a major factor in determining which Caribbean island they would travel to. As an LGBTQ+ couple, safety was another major concern, and Erin’s past trips to Aruba gave her the reassurance that all their guests would feel safe, accepted, and welcome on Aruba. Erin and Amanda capitalized on the natural beauty of their ceremony and reception setting on the stunning shores of Eagle Beach (one of TripAdvisor’s top beaches in the world), at Divi Aruba’s Sandpiper beach bar and event venue.
