Hi everyone!

My finace and I are getting married in October 2010. I have read many threads about people not being about to get their marriage license from Aruba in a timely manner (and even one having to remarry back home to be legal!) and I am a little worried about it. I really wanted to have the license done at the city hall in Aruba as 1) it's a beautiful building, 2) so the date matches our ceremony date on the island and 3) we would have a marriage license were we actually said our vows instead of from Connecticut. However, it seems like such a hassle to get the correct paperwork from the Aruba city hall/wedding planner for some people on these boards and I'm wondering if we should just go to our own city hall here and just have the beach ceremony in Aruba.

Any thoughts?
