My Maui Wedding Non-Pro Pics!

[shimmer]

I got married May 2, 2009! I have tried 4 times to upload pics but my computer kept crashing, it has been so frustrating...now I have a Mac and all is good (I suspect, I guess we''ll find out soon!)

Just want to shout out to Geckodani and Harleigh for their assistance in planning my wedding in Maui. Thank you so much, I wouldn''t have done it without you!

Also to all the brides who contribute to BWW, I don''t post much but I read a lot and you have helped tremendously!

Now, on to my wedding...DW in Maui! All of his family were there and my parents and sister. It was awesome to say the least. Our wedding day started 5am with breakfast, then by 7 in the hotel room with hair and makeup (DH was allowed in, I was too excited to not share those moments with him!). To Po''olenalena Beach by 9, ceremony started about 10. Then we had pics, lunch at the Wailea Golf Club and later for dinner the luau at Old Lahaina Luau....it was a long day! It was very windy and my hair was a mess hehe, I included some hair fixing pics for fun.

I might post pro pics, but to be honest the non-pro are almost as good! Oh, and DH doesn''t like to show his face so I tried my best to keep him out of the pics

Here we go...(there are about 30 so hang in there)...THE DRESS!

WOW!! How gorgeous! The beach is just beautiful (and so are you!)

First Dance. Our amazing officiant brought his ukelele and played music before the ceremony and for a dance for us, seen here. We didn''t know that he would do this and it added so much to the ceremony. The company I booked with charged $400 for music at the ceremony (although it would have been a separate musician)!

Thanks Amanda! This beach was perfect, we went there EVERY day we were in Maui, even for snorkeling!

Ahh, the Mahi Mahi! I ate it almost every day in Maui, it is soooooo delicious (and I rarely eat fish).

Luau Dinner Reception

Between the lunch and dinner I had 2.5 hours. I napped for 2 and then RAN to the Wailea Shops next door to Black House, White Market to pick up a reception dress! I didn''t have time to lose, and I figured they would have a white dress!
