Newlywedded celebratory Hawaiian Luau
For some odd reason, I happen to love these last few entries... this included
Obviously, it is because it was been the happiest day of my life, but also because I got to share it with so many people that I love. What's better than that?!
Who: the newlyweds and all our guests
What: yet another thing to celebrate our recent nuptials
Where: Paradise Cove Luau
When: the evening of June 8, 2013 - Yes, 06/08/13 was packed with perfection
Why: because we like to celebrate then celebrate some more!
I understand that there are several luaus on Oahu (some better than the one we chose)
However, Paradise Cove Luau was the first luau I went to when I was younger & I just remember having such a fantastic overall experience. Therefore, it's the one we chose to go to & invite anyone who wanted to join.
Target practice. My ankle Eric is the one in the white top and khaki pants. He hit the bullseye!
The Pontillas' and The Olsons!
Awaiting our turn to go on the canoe!
What we didn't know was that this was practice because we had plans to canoe on an Outrigger in the oncoming days... (read about it here)
Walking to the different events in the luau
I think I can climb a palm tree like that dude... Except I don't know if I'd be able to come down.
He threw out some orchids..
My adorable (sun-kissed) husband
With our matching pareos!
Thai & Grace showed up to have some luau fun!
Delicious drinks!
Tequila sunrise, hold the tequila?
Me and mommy
Trevor *hey brotha!* and Jacki
Nicool showing off her painted tattoo
Just because it was a fun memory for me. Jason (who is in the brown shorts) went chasing after these guys to take a picture. They were bringing the lechon (pig) to the buffet area!
My sis-in-law (cool! I get to say that now!) Katie!
Showing off our little tattoos. Mine was a flower & CJ's was a shark
Devin, our ring bearer and my godson, is so smart! He went to different stations and won these necklaces, then went around asking if anyone wanted to buy some off him!
