160 Couples Just Renewed Their Vows in Aruba

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - August 9, 2017

More than 160 couples gathered on Aruba’s Eagle Beach Tuesday to take part in what’s been billed as the Caribbean’s largest vow renewal ceremony.

Participants included first-time and loyal Aruba visitors, travel influencers and celebrity couples– such as Bravo TV’s Real Housewives Stars, Tamra and Eddie Judge.

“Aruba is a culturally-rich destination, beloved as one of the world’s top beach destinations for weddings and honeymoons,” said Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes, CEO of the Aruba Tourism Authority. “It felt truly special to showcase our island’s defining qualities during this unprecedented ceremony – while sharing Aruba’s love and happiness with loyal and first-time visitors alike.”

The event’s romantic décor and ambiance were inspired by real on-island weddings, and featured white linens with pops of vibrant Caribbean colors.

Couples relished in the opportunity to celebrate their love on one of the Caribbean’s greatest beaches – while enjoying champagne, hors d’oeuvres, local music and Carnival-like festivities.

“Aruba is simply beautiful. It meant everything for Eddie and I to be able to ‘renew our I Do’s’ in such a picturesque setting, in the company of our family,” Judge said. “Cheers to a lifetime of love and adventure, from the One happy island.”
