Best time of year

[luckydevil]

Is April really that much more windy? We've been to Aruba in July and August, and enjoyed the breeze in both months...

But... we're thinking of having our wedding in late April/early May.. is it noticeably more windy then? And how about the water temperatures for that time of year?

We have been there about a dozen times in April. There have been two distinct trips that I can remember that were quite windy. We don't mind it, however, there were a few days where you could not lie on the beach because the wind was blowing sand. I have never been in May so I can't answer as to how May is.
