An Island Wedding

In case you've been wondering where I've been, I am totally encompassed with planning a wedding!! ARGGH! (And I mean that in the most loving way possible!) I love my hubby and am so happy to be getting married to him in May. It is so close that sometimes I want to pull my hair! Why? Because there is so much still to be done!

Although I have been in a wedding before as a bridesmaid, I haven't really understood what it is to fully prepare this type of event. Just when you think you've got one thing marked off the checklist (like centerpieces), something else pops up! I am currently looking at the food menu and getting all kinds of details together. Planning this wedding is definitely giving me perspective on what all of the other couples have gone through! (Props to all you brides out there!) I am definitely looking forward to this wedding and am also anticipating which of my friends and/or family will be getting married next so I can kōkua and be a part of the madness all over again!

Our wedding will be outdoors in the elements on the Puna coastline. It is a beautiful place overlooking the ocean (one of my favorite places to be besides a bookstore!) My love is an ocean and māla type-o-guy so this location is really perfect for the both of us. Just this past weekend we had a photo shoot with a photographer from Ocean View! It was a lot of fun.

Well, that's the latest update right now- my mind is going non-stop over every little part of the wedding. How do those wedding planners do it? I guess if that is your 8 hour job during the day you can get a lot done. I am getting as much planning in as I can AFTER work! Yikes! No wedding planner for me! (All this talk about weddings makes me want to watch some lovey-dovey movies). Love ya!
