Nate Altes surprises his lovely wife Candice on second anniversary in Aruba.
"Would you marry me all over again" were the words from Nate Altes to his lovely wife Candice as they walked down the lush garden pathway at Radisson Aruba Resort on July 18, 2012. Once seated at La Playa Torchlight for Dinner at 6:30 they were approached by Bridal specialist Lisa Dammerman who introduced herself as PR for Radisson Resort and congratulated them on behalf of their anniversary and as a token the hotel would like to have a photo in our local newspaper. Nate knew that Lisa played it off good as for one week this surprise planning took off to a great start. As they followed Angela up the sidewalk for a photo, Lisa appeared with a bouquet and boutonniere and to Candice's surprise the tears of joy were a great way to start the ceremony. The officiate, Robert Gibson delivered the renewal of vows ceremony as the sun was setting on Aruba’s horizon. Bella Aruba Photography took over with photos on the beach to capture the moment. The celebration begun with a champagne toast and feet in the sand while the lovebirds stared into the breathtaking sunset that overlooked their romantic setting at La Playa with waiter Juancho at their service.They were surprised as well when Juancho recognized from 3 years ago. It is just another reason why they love Aruba.
Nate & Candice were married two years ago in their hometown of Dallas Texas and honeymooned in Bahamas. They knew once they arrived on their honeymoon that it was a mistake not to have booked Aruba because they fell in love a year before with the islands sun, ocean, swaying palm trees and One Happy Island of wonderful people who make you feel at home.
