EAGLE BEACH, Aruba – July 15, 2011 – Five family members stood witness as Ana and James Graham recently exchanged wedding vows on the powder-white sands of Eagle Beach and Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts. Prior to their romantic beachfront ceremony, the couple officially married in Oranjestad’s historic Civil House.
James is originally from Luxembourg and Ana is from Tampico, Mexico. The couple currently lives in Monterrey, Mexico where both work as lawyers.
“On a Sunday morning James left the house without telling me anything and then he came back with a ring and asked me to marry him,” said new bride Ana Graham on her engagement to new husband James.
A finicky groom, James searched the internet endlessly trying to find the perfect location for their destination wedding. James and Ana decided on Aruba and Bucuti for several reasons.
“Aruba was the perfect location not only because of the island’s beauty but also because unlike many islands in the Caribbean, Aruba does not have strict residency conditions in order to legally marry on island,” said the newlyweds. “Also, the fact that the island is located outside the hurricane belt was a major plus when choosing our ideal location. Also, we were so impressed with the beautiful wedding pictures we saw in addition to the resort’s adults-only policy; it was evident that Bucuti was the perfect resort for our destination wedding.”
When asked about what they liked best about their wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Graham stated, “We really enjoyed the breathtaking beach ceremony and the level of customer service we received from Bucuti’s multi-lingual staff members.”
James and Ana celebrated their honeymoon in one of Bucuti's luxurious Tara Penthouse Suites with panoramic views of the beautiful Eagle Beach.
