            Love & music united


            EAGLE BEACH — You might bump into him while he is performing at one of the resorts of
            Aruba and enchants you with his voice: Ernesto Ferro. The local musician and Carolina
            got married on Eagle Beach. They were accompanied by family and close friends who
            traveled from different countries to share in this beautiful event.

            Ernesto and Carolina thought that Aruba was the best place for this special occasion
            because the island is the magical place where they met. The musician is has travelled
            the globe and picked up the influences that different cultures bring you. He started
            playing guitar with 11 years old, inspired by his father who was an Italian violin maker. For
            the couple it is love and music united on this wonderful Happy Island. q
