Mariana & Mickey

When Mariana & Mickey set out to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, they envisioned something intimate and heartfelt, surrounded by the people who matter most—their five children.
What started as a vow renewal at the elegant Ritz-Carlton Aruba quickly transformed into a beautiful family celebration, with love, emotion, and laughter filling every moment.

The ceremony was personal, with both husband and wife writing their own vows, reflecting on the journey they’ve shared. It was clear that their love was just as strong, if not stronger, than the day they first met. Their words brought tears not only to their own eyes but also to those of their
children—two daughters and three sons—who stood by their side, witnessing the renewal of their parents’ promises to each other.

What made this vow renewal unique was that, with no guests present, the focus turned to the family itself. In an incredibly touching twist, the couple asked for spontaneous reactions from their children. We captured sweet moments as the kids shared what they love most about their
parents, from the playful memories to the admiration they have for the bond between “Mommy and Daddy.” Their innocent, heartfelt words added an extra layer of emotion to the event, turning it into a celebration of not just a marriage, but of family.

As we continue to tell stories like this, we are reminded that love, in its purest form, is often found in these quiet, personal moments shared with family. What an honor to have captured this moment!
