I first met Matt’s parents, who live here on Kauai’s north shore, about a year prior to the special day.   We met a looked at several locations for the ceremony but  nothing seemed to be a right  fit. Then I received an email from Matt’s mom.  Their neighbor is allowing them to hold the ceremony on their lawn.  When I fist walked into this house… WOW!… the view was breath taking.  Cliff side views Kalihiwai beach.  Absolutely amazing.

Being that the wedding was held in October, the surf on the north shore was pumping that day.  It was a bit of a distraction to Matt, an avid surfer, and his dad, who did his best not to watch the waves below.   After a beautiful Hawaiian ceremony preformed by Manulele, the couple  along with their guests enjoyed pupus and drinks poolside.   The the reception shifted to Common Grounds in Kilauea.  Fantastic food and atmosphere.  Mom (and friends)  preformed a hula with the guests.   Carmen, who is from Peru,  had yummy treats from her home country as favors.
