What a gorgeous day on Maui to have a wedding- We celebrated the commitment ceremony with Mellisa and Jennifer wit four of the given and chosen family- They arrived in a white stretch limo with the red carpet pulled out and waiting for them were Reverend Juddee and the photographer Sean-Michael Hower. Melissa's bouquet was gorgeous, but then again she was gorgeous. And that ring! My God she is wearing an entire diamond mine. Jennifer complimented with the perfect white shirt and slacks, both were radiant. And what a handsome group of given and chosen family, all of their smiles just lit up the beach.

We also celebrated the marriage of Sarah and Jacob- the winds picked up and Sarah had her hair down (make note ladies... hair up!). Sarah wore the most gorgeous gown and with her was a gift given to her when she was born, a white head scarf that turned into a handkerchief for her to carry on her wedding day. Wow her entire life was held in her hand- unbelievable. She held her scrumptious bouquet when Jacob took her hand and guided her to the ceremony site. Given family were present and they all received a lei and they also participated in the wedding by blessing the rings with the gift of the Ha'a which is the breath of life, they simply blew on the rings as I passed them by. So many fun but just as many serious moments in the ceremony. The wind was something else but we persevered and a beautiful ceremony was had.

So another fantastic day here on Maui- tomorrow we marry Drew and Darlene as well as Scott and Samuel- it is gonna be just as fantastic
