A 'Dream Beach' Wedding at the Bucuti Beach Resort for Guido and Michelle

December, 2008- Eagle Beach, Aruba - Mr. Guido Galluci from New York City and Ms. Michelle Orren from New Jersey recently had their dream wedding on Bucuti Beach Resort's pristine beach. A seaside dinner reception followed at Pirate's Nest restaurant.

Sixteen of the couples closest family members and friends witnessed the religious ceremony followed by a unity sand ceremony. The sand for the ceremony originated in New Jersey and Italy as symbols of their heritage.

Guido, an Airport Security Officer and Michelle, an accountant, met at a party in New York City thrown by their best man, Julian Roman. Michelle was at the party with her best friend and now maid-of-honor, Vidalia Resendes.

The couple became engaged on the third anniversary of their first meeting when Guido took Michelle to a romantic dinner at an Inn in Spring Lake, NJ. After dining Guido chose a dreamy moment during a moonlit stroll on the boardwalk.

When asked why they chose Aruba and Bucuti, the couple replied: "We chose Aruba because of its incredible beauty and consistent weather. We chose Bucuti because the hotel and beach are beautiful and the staff was exactly what we were looking for to ensure the event we wanted." "What we liked best was celebrating with close family and friends and the attentiveness of the staff at Bucuti, who helped ensure a perfect evening. In addition, we all enjoyed the friendliness of everyone in Aruba."

For their honeymoon, the couple stayed in one of Bucuti Beach Resort's award winning guest rooms.
