Dear Inge,

Hello! Hope you are doing great. Martin and I are already living in our new home in Maracaibo. We are still decorating it but so far it looks really nice.

We want to thank you, Michelle and all your team in Aruba for making our wedding day the most spectacular day in our lives! As we told you after the wedding, everything was beyond expectations. The general organization for both ceremonies was perfect and on time, all details were beautiful and tastefully done (bouquets, cake, beach decoration, dinner set up and food quality, etc), everybody was so nice to us and to our guests....We even had the perfect sunset!!

Since we met over the phone we knew we could trust you guys... so it was great to be able to relax on the beach before the wedding and let you take care of everything! I think that's why we were so unstressed, cool and very happy when the moment arrived. We could focus on each other, on our feelings and we just enjoyed the magic and love of each ceremony.

We consider ourselves very lucky, not only because we have each other, but because we had the opportunity to seal our love in the most romantic, intimate and spectacular way...

We are so happy we chose Aruba and your hotel as the location for our wedding, was really perfect in every sense. We all were very impressed by the beauty of both ceremonies. Civil weddings in our countries are done in a cold, office-like place and the ceremony itself is also very cold . The city hall in Aruba is so beautiful, inside and outside, and is very cozy and elegant. But what we like the most was the "script" of the ceremony, was so romantic... was really focused in love more than in laws! We like the judge a lot, he was kind and we like the fact he did the ceremony in English and Spanish and a little Dutch!

Beach ceremony...what can we say but Wow! The general comment was "It look so surreal, like if we were in a movie!". The white sand, the turquoise still water, an arch of flowers, all our love ones, our love songs playing in the background...what could be more perfect?! Was really a magic moment, the most romantic of our lives.

Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU for giving us a day that will stay in our hearts and memories forever!

Inge, you were specially nice to us, also with the rooms, our suites, champagne, late check outs, etc, etc! If you ever have the chance to travel to Venezuela, please let us know. But we are definitely going back to Aruba and to your hotel, hope pretty soon.


Big hug,

Martin and Patricia Philipse
