 Waimanalo Beach, Oahu, Hawaii

         |   E Komo Mai! As it is said in Hawaii.  Or, "Welcome" to our wedding — at least in spirit and photograph.  To enjoy these pictures at their best, simply click on each one to view the full-sized photo. |

  | A short walk down the beach where we were staying in Waimanalo, we met with our photographer, David.  David to Charlotte:  "Did you bring your machete?"  Charlotte to David:  "Uh, no."   David to Charlotte:  "They forgot to tell you that you needed a machete?"

  | It seems that he wasn't kidding but we had fun crawling through the trees and vines …
     
 | 
   
  | Intimate moments captured …
     
 | 
   
  | Leaving the trees and vines behind, the beauty of the waters of the windward coast of Oahu frames us.
     
 | 
   
  | Looking to our future … 
     
 | 
   
  | Our walk along the beach started off simple enough … 
   
 | 
   
  | … then we got playful … 
   
 | 
   
  | A quick hug before our kahuna, Captain Howie, blows on the conch shell … 
   
 | 
   
  | I wonder how long before he runs out of breath? I'm thinking, but at the same time was simply awed … 
   
 | 
   
  | Rings are exchanged … 
   
 | 
   
  | We were ordered to give a good smooch for the camera … and a toast.  Sparkling cider? Where's the real champagne?
   
 | 
   
  | The happy couple! 
   
 Then it was off to get the itchy headdress off my head (and according to Tony, the "smelly" lei he wore — Tony doesn't like the scent of pikake flowers) — and head to Waikiki for a celebration dinner… Aloha and Mahalo!
