We were very excited to get to Maui, since it was our first time to Hawaii. Once we got off of the plane and out of the terminal, the humidity hit us in the face like a brick wall. We stayed in a really nice hotel right on the beach in Lahaina. Our room had an amazing view of the beach and ocean. We had my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, my cousin, my wife’s parents and their spouses and my wife’s aunts and uncle. It was very nice to have our family there. We wanted to have a small wedding, as my wife and I are both not a fan of big crowds. We had to get our marriage license while in Maui. Luckily, another couple was there waiting with us and they found another office that was open. We drove over and filled everything out, making it just in time.
We had a lot of fun while in Maui. We visited Haleakala, which is the volcano on the island. We also went ATVing and para sailing for the first time. The so called waiter made me sing “That’s Amore” in front of a whole group of people. I was very embarrassed and somewhat upset.
We were married on the beach, with a traditional Hawaiian minister while music was played on a tiny guitar. It was great weather, with great scenery in a beautiful place. We both got a little nervous and my wife even started to cry a little. It was mostly from having our family all watching us while we got married. We get embarrassed easily so it was a bit tough. We had a big lunch on a golf course and had a great time. After all of this was over, all of the family flew home and we went to start in a small place by the ocean. It was on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It was amazing. If you ever decide to get married in a tropical location, I highly recommend Maui. We’ve been back several times and it’s amazing.
