Dozens of celebrants arrived in Aruba from New York on Thursday, to
participate in the nuptials of Renita James and Allen Coston to find
everything perfect except for one thing, the bride and groom were left
behind in New York!
All the attendants, parents and guests of the intended couple were
gathered at the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino and Spa for the intended
ceremony, but Renita and Allen were held up at Kennedy Airport with their
ten-month old daughter, Ionee. They arrived a day behind everyone else.
Fortunately, the couple had allowed a one-day margin for error,
(in actuality to relax for the upcoming event) so they were able to walk
down the isle on that magic date 08/08/08, as planned.
They made a handsome couple with the stunning surrounding of the
Radisson Aruba Resort as a backdrop for their fantasy wedding close to
Aruba’s shores, performed by Reverend Bob Gibson of the Universal Life
Ministries. Attending them were groomsmen Krawshawn Lee, Lyndell James
and Alfonso Lee and Renita’s cousins Sharon James, Ashley James and
Nadia Glasgow acting as bridesmaids with Allen’s sister Brittany the
lovely flower girl. Ionee may have been a little too young to walk down
the aisle, but she was absolutely adorable dressed in the wedding colors
of ivory and green.
Palm trees and blue skies complimented those colors as the couple spoke
their vows and exchanged rings. Renita’s parents, Patrick and Jean,
have lived in the US nearly 40 years, but originally resided on Aruba
and interestingly enough, had not met until going to live in the United
States. Because of them being from the island, conducting the nuptials
here was like “coming home,” with many friends and family from Aruba
attending. They were proud to show off their beautiful island to
Allen’s family from New York, including his parents Delcenia and Allen
Senior.
Though it might have begun as something of a nightmare, Renita’s and
Allen’s dream of a picture-perfect wedding on Aruba, on a dream date,
which according to the Chinese, is very auspicious and promises great
success, came true. The wedding party witnessed a stunning ceremony and
then indulged in an elegant poolside party until well into the evening.
Congratulations Renita and Allen, may God richly bless this union.
Blessings,
Bryan Morris
