Another happy couple has chosen Aruba for their destination wedding! It may have taken twenty years for John Hartley and Maureen Byrnes to finally tie the knot, but the vows taken at sunset on the beach in front of the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa on Thursday evening, January 13, could not have been more heartfelt.

Tears and laughter marked their exchange of rings and vows and cheers from observers on the beach accompanied their passionate kiss as Reverend Bob Gibson encouraged John “to lay a good one your beautiful bride, the way we do it here on the islands.”

Many couples select Aruba not only to marry but to renew their vows. “Ten years of being truly happily married seems to be an accomplishment these days,” explained Danny Honan as to why he and wife Jennifer decided to stage a renewal of vows while on Aruba for Thanksgiving. “Jennifer and I are still truly in love and being able to do this with our daughters Kayla and Makenzie to see it, makes it absolutely perfect.”

The Linden, New Jersey, couple are big fans of Aruba, as are Jennifer’s parents, Ted and Joann Chesney, who own timesharing at the Aruba Beach Club and introduced the “bride and groom” to the island before they had married. Jennifer and Danny returned when she was pregnant with Kayla, and are back again to share this special moment with several aunts, uncles and cousins who all spend Thanksgiving on Aruba every year at the ABC.

Pat and Scott Glauser of Pennsylvania celebrated ten years of wedded bliss during their 19th visit to Aruba. They had first discovered the island as a vacation destination in April 1998. They make it a special tradition to be here every year for their anniversary. Scott will submit his vacation bid from FedEx early on to insure they can celebrate finding life-long love in the manner they enjoy best.

“I may have waited quite awhile to marry, but Pat is the perfect match for me,” comments Scott; Pat concurs, also having held out until her mid-thirties to select a spouse. They are both fanatical sports spectators and share an infatuation with Aruba and its people, spending at least two weeks a year on-island in late October to celebrate the occasion, as well as a scattered week here and there when they can grab it. Naturally, it was their undisputed choice for their honeymoon.

Christen & Chad flew down to Aruba from the USA with friends, leaving family behind. Rev. Robert Gibson officiated at the ceremony on the water’s edge just as the sun gently set into the Caribbean Sea. After the ceremony, they toasted their union with a champagne kiss and cake cutting ceremony. Christen & Chad posed for a few romantic photos before enjoying an intimate dinner for eight at the Sunset Bistro Restaurant with their toes in the sand. Congratulations from Aruba Fairy Tales!
