Maui is paradise! Sunny and I spent sunsets swinging in a hammock above the beach and sunrises far above the clouds on a volcano. What an experience! We stayed at the Westin Resort & Spa on Ka’anapali beach in West Maui.

I had so many great photos, I had to add another page…

Our reception was magical, the ambiance was perfect! We had strung paper lanterns in the backyard and created a bamboo frame over the dance floor. From the bamboo frame, called a hoopa, we had strung white lights. There was plenty food and drink, and enough chairs and tables for our guests to feel comfortable. We danced into the sunset! At the end of the evening our friends surrounded Jessica’s car with sparklers, the effect was stunning. I posted a few photos taken from Idamae below.

Our wedding was a success! The weather was hot but the church was not too hot. The decorations were beautiful. I was told that during a wedding one thing will go wrong. The only thing I can think of is that the unity candle would not light. I had to dump the wax out of the candle to get it to light. Our first kiss was outstanding! I’ve enclosed a few photos of us getting ready for our wedding below. These photos were lovingly taken by Idamae. We expect the photos from our wedding photographer to arrive in three weeks. As soon as those arrive I’ll post them as well.

For the fourth year in a row, Kevin Keefe did an outstanding job hosting our work picnic. This was the biggest picnic yet, with nearly 20 people there at different times throughout the day. The food was terrific, check out the A-Team cake! I can’t wait until next year’s picnic!
