00:00:16marriage vows came after a much deeper unification, only
00:00:202 days before the celebration, they experienced moments of
00:00:24anguish during the strong earthquake of
00:00:277.4 that shook Colombia. After
00:00:30facing this impactful experience, they returned
00:00:33to Aruba to transform a moment of love into a
00:00:37celebration of life, gratitude, and family, and an inspiring story.
00:00:53All this and more to
00:01:43Kylie and Katja and enjoy
00:02:30to be here at Aruba I do 2026 renewing their
00:02:33vows, because just two days before the ceremony,
00:02:36they were in Medy in Colombia for vacation when a
00:02:397.4 magnitude earthquake struck the country's
00:02:42western region. Before we get into that, let's hear a little bit of
00:02:46their story. We've been together since
00:02:492008, we married in
00:02:522010, we renewed our first
00:02:55fause in 2023, and now
00:02:58we're back here today. That's right, this isn't the family's first
00:03:02vow renewal with Aruba Toursm authorities, Aruba I do. They took
00:03:06part just three years ago when it was hosted on Eagle Beach. Their
00:03:10daughter was much younger then and she had told her parents she was sad
00:03:13she missed their wedding. This was wonderful way to include
00:03:17her. So my daughter said to me, yeah I didn't, I wasn't there the first
00:03:21time, I said that's correct, you weren't even born, so we did
00:03:24it especially for her so she could witness uh her parents
00:03:28marry again. according to Nini, they love being able to celebrate
00:03:32their love and commitment to one another right here at
00:03:35home.
00:03:39We love uh Aruba I do so much because it's
00:03:42it's giving you opportunity to celebrate love again and I think
00:03:46it's so awesome that you can do it here in this
00:03:50beautiful location at our own home here on the
00:03:54island.
00:03:57A few minutes after this interview. to find
00:04:00were no victims. only material me Aruba I do to tell me why they are more grateful
00:04:04than ever to be standing here today renewing their vows.
00:04:07Two days ago we were in Colombia Mading and we were
00:04:11witnessing the earthquake, because we were there a family
00:04:14holiday and we were in the hotel on the 20th floor
00:04:17when the earthquake happened. on August 10th 2026
00:04:21a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake caused significant
00:04:25damage across Western Columbia with more than
00:04:28100 people killed and while spread destruction. Ninnie and
00:04:32her family were in Metaying enjoying summer vacation where the
00:04:35earthquake was felt strongly. After that
00:04:38experience, celebrating
00:04:41NV Elmar launched a new video clip of life took a whole new meaning for them. I'm so happy that we're here today
00:04:45alive, celebrating love and second chances. It was a
00:04:48frightening experience for the family of three, unlike anything they had
00:04:52ever gone through before, and he says that as scary as the
00:04:55situation on their Colombian vacation was, it
00:04:59brought new life. to life in general and a deeper
00:05:02appreciation for everything that life has to offer, and
00:05:05one of those things being not to take friends and family for
00:05:09granted. you never know what tomorrow will bring, so I think it's... very important
00:05:13to celebrate every day, every single moment and
00:05:16just be very um aware of your friends and the
00:05:20love that you share and that you are able to even see a new day. Ninnie
00:05:24and her husband already renewed their vows once with Aruba I do
00:05:28in 2023 and they had registered for Aruba I do
00:05:312026, well before they experienced the earthquake in
00:05:35Colombia first hand. they were already prepared to
00:05:39commit to one another, but facing that dangerous situation.
00:05:42together only deepened their bond and their devotion, the
00:05:46way that my husband protected us and like his little
00:05:49family just means so much to me and I think it makes it
00:05:53even extra special today that I can just
00:05:57renew my vows and just pledge to him that we will always be
00:06:00together no matter what. I want to personally thank Ninnie for sharing
00:06:04her story from the bottom of my heart. congratulations to you
00:06:08and Rolp on your recommitment to one
00:06:10another.

00:24:45grenade bags located in Spain, according to authorities, there
00:24:50damages, in addition, another earthquake of
00:24:537.7 shook the coasts of Indonesia, according to
00:24:57authorities a total of 38 dead and several
00:25:01material damages, and after the earthquake that shook Colombia,
00:25:04the state of Cali has maintained the search for
00:25:07missing persons. Fabiola Ángela Hernández has the following
00:25:11details.
00:25:34Earthquake, earthquake, this is one of the most circulated images,
00:25:38this streamer live-streamed the moment of the
00:25:41earthquake, he's fine,
00:25:44a magnitude 5 tremor in Granada that has not caused personal
00:25:47injuries, you can open the door. No, you
00:25:50can't. The civil guard had to help some neighbors leave their homes
00:25:54as a precaution,
00:25:57this is how they asked the guests of this hotel in Granada to be careful with
00:26:00the aftershocks, more than one.
00:26:05have been registered today, that seismic movement of 5.0 that we have to
00:26:08say is the most important that has occurred in recent
00:26:12years, but there is a lot of material damage in the church of Santa
00:26:15María in the Albaicín neighborhood, part of its roof, as you can see,
00:26:19has fallen, filling the entire street with
00:26:21rubble, yes, we must remain on
00:26:25alert for follow-up, evaluation and possible
00:26:28response to
00:26:31new ones. Granada is one of the areas of Spain with the highest
00:26:35seismic activity,
00:26:38one of the most affected cities in southwestern
00:26:41Colombia by the effects of this powerful earthquake of
00:26:447.4 degrees magnitude that occurred in Colombia last
00:26:48Monday. This morning, the mayor of this city, Alejandro Eder,
00:26:52has said that the search and rescue operation for collapsed structures will be maintained
00:26:55indefinitely. There are 77 people who
00:26:59are still missing and that is why this
00:27:02decision has been made, this is what the mayor of this city said, we estimate
00:27:06that for Cali only the stabilization
00:27:09phase of what we have just experienced can cost 4
00:27:13billion pesos and the process of
00:27:17projecting Cali, making Cali a more resilient city,
00:27:20preparing ourselves so that if this happens again Cali does not
00:27:23suffer this impact again, but not only that, but taking advantage of this opportunity
00:27:27to build a more inclusive Cali, a more
00:27:30sustainable Cali. a Cali with more projection for the
00:27:34future, that will cost around 6 billion pesos, that
00:27:37is, in total it is 10 billion pesos,
00:27:41here in the capital of the valley an special plan was also activated to assist
00:27:45the victims of this tragedy, which number
00:27:48more than 8,000, there will be
00:27:51humanitarian assistance at least in an initial stage during the next 6
00:27:55months.
00:28:02of east coast time and slowly over the overnight hours we saw
00:28:06that that death count continuously creep up now at 38
00:28:09with about a little over a dozen people injured here
00:28:13is the the striking fact though, the comparison to the
00:28:16other earthquakes that we've seen recently. I'm going to use the Colombian earthquake
00:28:20here. About 6 million people in that earthquake felt what the
00:28:23USGS uh categorizes as severe
00:28:26shaking.
00:28:28Here in this earthquake, there were about a half million people feeling that. It's and I bring
00:28:32up this point because it's two very different situations. In
00:28:36Colombia, a very urban area. Here, this is more
00:28:40mountainous, rural island terrain. There are some tourist
00:28:43hotspots, for example, Bali, a very popular tourist destination. They
00:28:47felt shaking there, which is about 400 miles away. But on the
00:28:50actual island of Flores, it's very rural in that
00:28:53sense. But that does not take anything away from the dramatic
00:28:57situation that is unfolding there. The good news is roads have since been cleared
00:29:01after numerous landslides. That's according to government agencies there. However,
00:29:05there are still roughly 10 people trapped under the rubble at this
00:29:08time that they are still working to get to. Now, remember, all of these numbers are
00:29:12preliminary. They've been changing hour by hour, from the number of those killed to
00:29:16those injured to those trapped, and we're continuously getting this information.
