Jonas & Ryan: Love Takes Center Stage at the Hyatt Regency Aruba

Story by Tina Causey-Bislick

Ohio natives Jonas Alexander Yates Kramer and Ryan Michael Gill recently celebrated their love with a symbolic wedding ceremony on the shores of Palm Beach, Aruba. “Aruba was the first vacation we ever went on together as a couple, and we’ve been in love with the happy island ever since,” the couple shared. “We knew we wanted to have a casual beach setting, and Aruba is simply our favorite beach vacation destination in the world,” they added. The couple tapped the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort, Spa & Casino to host the nuptials, with in-house romance planning manager Rosy Nuboer overseeing the details.

The Ceremony

A bamboo arch stylishly draped in sheer white and accented with bright, tropical flowers set the tone for a casual beach ceremony.
