I didn''t want to hijack Lanee''s thread, so here''s a new topic to answer your question, SimplyDevine!
There are about a zillion websites of people who do Hawaiian weddings. I spent a couple weeks visiting site after site - but everything seemed kinda cheesey and "cookie cutter". One of my friends tells a story about going to get their wedding license in Hawaii and seeing a group of people brought in by a local hotel, they all had notebooks provided by the hotel and it didn''t seem very special.
Anyway - I found this website - InHeavenWeddings.com - that I kept coming back to. They are located on Oahu, and consists of a photographer and a minister-type woman. The website wasn''t as cheesey as the rest, and I fell in love with the pictures... most of the wedding people had horrible pictures, and I really wanted good pictures. The photographer at InHeavenWeddings has a lot of published pictures, and seems to be awesome.
I emailed them and got a reference... the reference just raved about how wonderful and special (and "magical") the experience was, and that her pictures are amazing and tell the story of the ceremony. She couldn''t say enough good things about her experience.
The wedding people also have two rental properties that they rent out - we are staying at the little cottage with the outdoor shower!
I really wanted a beach wedding, but I didn''t want a lot of strangers running around in their bathing suits. They recommended a sunrise wedding, since the lighting would be pretty nifty and there aren''t likely to be many people around. I cringed at the thought - but realized that it will be a few hours later on my time, so that''s perfect! And the night-time temperature for October is in the mid-70''s so I''ll think it''s pretty warm.
Yeah, this was a long post and probably told you more than you wanted to know... but let me know if you have any other questions and I''ll try to help!
