Rainy Day Video show just how beautiful love can be!

Imagine my surprise at a recent Kauai Wedding Professionals Association (KWPA) meeting when our Host Gwen Silva of the National Tropical Botanical Gardens (#ntgb) in Lawai told me that her new absolute FAVORITE wedding video had just been sent to her.  Since I had performed the Christian ceremony for Stephanie and Mitchell, I asked her to send it along to me.

Wow!  It was fantastic!

Yes, the wedding took place under a gorgeous tent (because it was... ahem... raining... well, just a bit), but the couple and their guests were happy and gorgeous and having loads of fun!  Iben Dwight of Weddings Kauai coordinated and did her usual incredible job (#weddingskauai).

Be sure to check out the video, AND be sure to visit the National Tropical Botanical Gardens when you are on Kauai at http://www.ntbg.org/

Shipwreck Beach Wedding with Reverend Larry LaSota and the Singing Groom!

Fun and surprises Shipwrecks Beach for Tonya the bride and her groom started the ceremony by serenading her playing guitar and singing two beautiful original love songs. He cried his way through them. Lots of love going both ways. Great folks with a super group of friends who made it all the way from Virginia. We had a heartfelt Christian ceremony and after Tom showed me the cross that was on his ring.

 

 

I asked Kit Furderer to take a photo with my (extremely old!) iPhone so I could post the wedding that night. He took one look at my old iPhone 4 and said "What is this, an iPhone X?" Ha, Ha, Ha!

Next day he sent me the photo of me with Tonya and Tom. But, I took that group shot with my "iPhone X"

A special thanks to Dale Rosenfeld and Lynda Clifton of Joyful Ceremonies for having me perform this ceremony for these wonderful folks.

Wedding Party of 24 Still Makes for a Great St. Regis Kauai Wedding!

Wedding Party of 24 People at the St. Regis?!?  One would think chaos was about to happen. Well, quite the opposite. What a great group of people at Jacquelyn and Payton's rehearsal and wedding. And what fun with everyone. Parents too, what a blast, and such wonderful hosts to all.

 

 

I will tell you a 30 person processional does take quite some time. Moms and escorts, obligatory 2 year old flower girl and of course our ring bearer, both who did a good job.

 

 

What can I say. This is a great way to spend my afternoon!!!

And a big thanks to Natacha and Lisa of the St Regis for once again putting on a spectacular event.

Courtyard Marriott Wedding on Kauai's East Side with Larry LaSota

Eastside weddings are always fun. This one at The Courtyard Marriott on the Coconut Coast was true to form. 

When I arrived, our groom Alberto was setting up cameras all over the place.  Being an airline pilot, he didn't want to leave anything to chance. We had some time to talk and he told me about his flying for a 737s for a European airlines.  With today's political climate, he's got some interesting tales to tell.  Of course, Angie the bride is a flight attendant as were her two bridesmaids. 

Everyone was really outgoing and lots of laughs.  Carol Simon of the Courtyard and her crew set us up for a flawless ceremony.  Great weather and sunset over the mountains.

Kauai Awards and Accolades

I find it amazing (and yet totally believable) that throughout the travel industry, Kauai has won so many awards. Last year Kauai received over 120 travel industry awards. Those of who live here know why.  And anyone who comes here for a vacation, or even for work, knows why too.   It only takes a day or two to see why Kauai is becoming the favorite of travelers world wide. And a great place to come to get married, too!
