[00:00:12] a celebration of love, union, and commitment, International football will be the center of but for a local family, the renewal of
[00:00:16] marriage vows came after a much deeper unification, only
[00:00:20] 2 days before the celebration, they experienced moments of
[00:00:24] anguish during the strong earthquake of
[00:00:27] 7.4 that shook Colombia. After
[00:00:30] facing this impactful experience, they returned
[00:00:33] to Aruba to transform a moment of love into a
[00:00:37] celebration of life, gratitude, and family, and an inspiring story.
[00:00:53] All this and more to
[00:01:43] Kylie and Katja and enjoy
[00:02:30] to be here at Aruba I do 2026 renewing their
[00:02:33] vows, because just two days before the ceremony,
[00:02:36] they were in Medy in Colombia for vacation when a
[00:02:39] 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the country's
[00:02:42] western region. Before we get into that, let's hear a little bit of
[00:02:46] their story. We've been together since
[00:02:49] 2008, we married in
[00:02:52] 2010, we renewed our first
[00:02:55] fause in 2023, and now
[00:02:58] we're back here today. That's right, this isn't the family's first
[00:03:02] vow renewal with Aruba Toursm authorities, Aruba I do. They took
[00:03:06] part just three years ago when it was hosted on Eagle Beach. Their
[00:03:10] daughter was much younger then and she had told her parents she was sad
[00:03:13] she missed their wedding. This was wonderful way to include
[00:03:17] her. So my daughter said to me, yeah I didn't, I wasn't there the first
[00:03:21] time, I said that's correct, you weren't even born, so we did
[00:03:24] it especially for her so she could witness uh her parents
[00:03:28] marry again. according to Nini, they love being able to celebrate
[00:03:32] their love and commitment to one another right here at
[00:03:35] home.
[00:03:39] We love uh Aruba I do so much because it's
[00:03:42] it's giving you opportunity to celebrate love again and I think
[00:03:46] it's so awesome that you can do it here in this
[00:03:50] beautiful location at our own home here on the
[00:03:54] island.
[00:03:57] A few minutes after this interview. to find
[00:04:00] were no victims. only material me Aruba I do to tell me why they are more grateful
[00:04:04] than ever to be standing here today renewing their vows.
[00:04:07] Two days ago we were in Colombia Mading and we were
[00:04:11] witnessing the earthquake, because we were there a family
[00:04:14] holiday and we were in the hotel on the 20th floor
[00:04:17] when the earthquake happened. on August 10th 2026
[00:04:21] a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake caused significant
[00:04:25] damage across Western Columbia with more than
[00:04:28] 100 people killed and while spread destruction. Ninnie and
[00:04:32] her family were in Metaying enjoying summer vacation where the
[00:04:35] earthquake was felt strongly. After that
[00:04:38] experience, celebrating
[00:04:41] NV Elmar launched a new video clip of life took a whole new meaning for them. I'm so happy that we're here today
[00:04:45] alive, celebrating love and second chances. It was a
[00:04:48] frightening experience for the family of three, unlike anything they had
[00:04:52] ever gone through before, and he says that as scary as the
[00:04:55] situation on their Colombian vacation was, it
[00:04:59] brought new life. to life in general and a deeper
[00:05:02] appreciation for everything that life has to offer, and
[00:05:05] one of those things being not to take friends and family for
[00:05:09] granted. you never know what tomorrow will bring, so I think it's... very important
[00:05:13] to celebrate every day, every single moment and
[00:05:16] just be very um aware of your friends and the
[00:05:20] love that you share and that you are able to even see a new day. Ninnie
[00:05:24] and her husband already renewed their vows once with Aruba I do
[00:05:28] in 2023 and they had registered for Aruba I do
[00:05:31] 2026, well before they experienced the earthquake in
[00:05:35] Colombia first hand. they were already prepared to
[00:05:39] commit to one another, but facing that dangerous situation.
[00:05:42] together only deepened their bond and their devotion, the
[00:05:46] way that my husband protected us and like his little
[00:05:49] family just means so much to me and I think it makes it
[00:05:53] even extra special today that I can just
[00:05:57] renew my vows and just pledge to him that we will always be
[00:06:00] together no matter what. I want to personally thank Ninnie for sharing
[00:06:04] her story from the bottom of my heart. congratulations to you
[00:06:08] and Rolp on your recommitment to one
[00:06:10] another.

[00:24:45] grenade bags located in Spain, according to authorities, there
[00:24:50] damages, in addition, another earthquake of
[00:24:53] 7.7 shook the coasts of Indonesia, according to
[00:24:57] authorities a total of 38 dead and several
[00:25:01] material damages, and after the earthquake that shook Colombia,
[00:25:04] the state of Cali has maintained the search for
[00:25:07] missing persons. Fabiola Ángela Hernández has the following
[00:25:11] details.
[00:25:34] Earthquake, earthquake, this is one of the most circulated images,
[00:25:38] this streamer live-streamed the moment of the
[00:25:41] earthquake, he's fine,
[00:25:44] a magnitude 5 tremor in Granada that has not caused personal
[00:25:47] injuries, you can open the door. No, you
[00:25:50] can't. The civil guard had to help some neighbors leave their homes
[00:25:54] as a precaution,
[00:25:57] this is how they asked the guests of this hotel in Granada to be careful with
[00:26:00] the aftershocks, more than one.
[00:26:05] have been registered today, that seismic movement of 5.0 that we have to
[00:26:08] say is the most important that has occurred in recent
[00:26:12] years, but there is a lot of material damage in the church of Santa
[00:26:15] María in the Albaicín neighborhood, part of its roof, as you can see,
[00:26:19] has fallen, filling the entire street with
[00:26:21] rubble, yes, we must remain on
[00:26:25] alert for follow-up, evaluation and possible
[00:26:28] response to
[00:26:31] new ones. Granada is one of the areas of Spain with the highest
[00:26:35] seismic activity,
[00:26:38] one of the most affected cities in southwestern
[00:26:41] Colombia by the effects of this powerful earthquake of
[00:26:44] 7.4 degrees magnitude that occurred in Colombia last
[00:26:48] Monday. This morning, the mayor of this city, Alejandro Eder,
[00:26:52] has said that the search and rescue operation for collapsed structures will be maintained
[00:26:55] indefinitely. There are 77 people who
[00:26:59] are still missing and that is why this
[00:27:02] decision has been made, this is what the mayor of this city said, we estimate
[00:27:06] that for Cali only the stabilization
[00:27:09] phase of what we have just experienced can cost 4
[00:27:13] billion pesos and the process of
[00:27:17] projecting Cali, making Cali a more resilient city,
[00:27:20] preparing ourselves so that if this happens again Cali does not
[00:27:23] suffer this impact again, but not only that, but taking advantage of this opportunity
[00:27:27] to build a more inclusive Cali, a more
[00:27:30] sustainable Cali. a Cali with more projection for the
[00:27:34] future, that will cost around 6 billion pesos, that
[00:27:37] is, in total it is 10 billion pesos,
[00:27:41] here in the capital of the valley an special plan was also activated to assist
[00:27:45] the victims of this tragedy, which number
[00:27:48] more than 8,000, there will be
[00:27:51] humanitarian assistance at least in an initial stage during the next 6
[00:27:55] months.
[00:28:02] of east coast time and slowly over the overnight hours we saw
[00:28:06] that that death count continuously creep up now at 38
[00:28:09] with about a little over a dozen people injured here
[00:28:13] is the the striking fact though, the comparison to the
[00:28:16] other earthquakes that we've seen recently. I'm going to use the Colombian earthquake
[00:28:20] here. About 6 million people in that earthquake felt what the
[00:28:23] USGS uh categorizes as severe
[00:28:26] shaking.
[00:28:28] Here in this earthquake, there were about a half million people feeling that. It's and I bring
[00:28:32] up this point because it's two very different situations. In
[00:28:36] Colombia, a very urban area. Here, this is more
[00:28:40] mountainous, rural island terrain. There are some tourist
[00:28:43] hotspots, for example, Bali, a very popular tourist destination. They
[00:28:47] felt shaking there, which is about 400 miles away. But on the
[00:28:50] actual island of Flores, it's very rural in that
[00:28:53] sense. But that does not take anything away from the dramatic
[00:28:57] situation that is unfolding there. The good news is roads have since been cleared
[00:29:01] after numerous landslides. That's according to government agencies there. However,
[00:29:05] there are still roughly 10 people trapped under the rubble at this
[00:29:08] time that they are still working to get to. Now, remember, all of these numbers are
[00:29:12] preliminary. They've been changing hour by hour, from the number of those killed to
[00:29:16] those injured to those trapped, and we're continuously getting this information.
