the next day, we took the kids beach hopping, trying to find the best possible beach for the wedding! in between showers, a picnic, cave splunking, sand drawings, talking to chickens and a swim, we saw a ton of beaches!! later that evening, the kids managed to create a survey/questionnaire which helped us to select the best beach for the wedding! we spent wednesday seeing the waimea canyon which was breathtaking and based on feedback from a number of parties, better than the grand canyon!! we rushed back to the hotel so i could find mother (randomly at the pool relaxing with a book) with 30 mins to spare before we had to head out for our pre-wedding family dinner: a traditional luau!! it was a lovely dinner and provided a relaxed atmosphere for everyone to get to know everyone!!
thursday was the big day and i think we were generally ready for it :D the ladies arrived around noon and we had a snack while i re-did my hair (the hairdresser did a HORRIBLE job!!) and my make up!! the photographer arrived and suddenly it was serious and i needed to work to a timeline!! everyone piled into cars and it started to get a bit gray and then it started to rain however when we arrived at anini beach, it was sunny and warm!! the whole ceremony was lovely and we were very blessed to have those friends and family who could make it along to celebrate!! we headed back in the limo, collected as many guests as the limo would fit (including the kids) from the resort and headed to the reception dinner. the food was fantastic, the service impeccable (i only had to glance about and our server was next to me) and the cake was delicious!! we had a fantastic evening and truly, i can't imagine a more special day in my life!!
i'll share the honeymoon activities in another post as i don't want this one to be too long (and it'll make you come back for more!!)
hugs,
