And They Lived Happily Ever After.....

Yesterday, we had the Joy of being apart of a very special event. The marriage of Eric & Marissa two of the sweetest people. What started off as a early morning just continued into the evening. After watching the sun rise we rush home to get ready for the wedding which started at 11:00am, however since my love was one of the grooms men we had to be there at 10:00am.

As we headed over to the other side of the Island what seemed like a forever drive we finally made our way to Bellows Air Force Base were the ceremony was going to take place.



It was set up so pretty, very small only 28 people including guest and the wedding party, yet elegant and simple. Just what you would imagine for a beach wedding. The Groom wore Khaki pants and a black button up & the 4 grooms men wore Khaki pants with a white button up and of course flip flop. (a must for a beach wedding.) Talking to Eric making sure he didn't turn around and see Marissa coming out of the limo in her dress, which mind you was so pretty. He was telling me about being excited about the wedding and looking forward to the next journey in their relationship.

It was a first for Gabe and I for many reason's. One we were finally attending a wedding together (that wasn't our), it was the first time that he had to walk down the aisle with another person other than me :( and well of course our first beach wedding and it was in Hawaii.

As we took our seats, I sat with some of Eric's cousins whom we had met the night before at the Luau that we all attended. Talk about a good time and some great food and dancer's at that. The Luau was definitely a great way to allow every one to meet and get to know one another.

The music began and down walked the wedding party, the bridesmaids were so pretty in their Topical dresses and the men with the Lei's around their neck. The bride & groom were given lei's for their parents & grandmother which they placed around their neck's. The ceremony was so sweet and very much to the point. And at last they were announced as Mr. & Mrs. Esquivel. As the newly married couple stood near the ocean we all had the chance to walk by and congratulate them and give our love. It was such a Amazing wedding one that I will remember forever.



My poor hubby, he just loves loves his picture taken, LOL and at the wedding I got to sit back and chit chat with Eric's family and make fun for Gabe because he had to listen to the crazy photographer that wanted a picture of the whole wedding party on every inch of the beach were we where. It was so funny I couldn't help but laugh at him.





Once pictures were done Gabe & I took off to get a bite to eat at subway and get a few things done that we needed to before the reception that evening.

Finally back downtown in Waikiki, and after driving around for 10 minutes to find parking we headed off to the reception which was being held at Tiki's Bar & Grill for the ones that attended the wedding. (so another small gathering). The night was still early and we were all chowing down on so delicious food having a great time chit chatting with Eric's family once again. They are some of the sweetest people Gabe and I have ever met, truly open hearted and welcoming us in. (seeing's besides the best man, Gabe & I everyone else there was family. so it truly was a honor that we were apart of this special day.)



The cake was cut & the toasts were made ending what was a great evening with the Newly Wed's and our new friends.


We had such a great time being apart of their special day and Truly do wish Eric & Marissa the Best of Luck in what ever the Future may bring them.
