Our Kauai Elopement

I'm coming in a little late on our wedding post, well any post lately. But I'm excited to share our Kauai destination wedding with y'all. Before JP and I even got engaged last November, we had planned a trip with my parents to Kauai in February. We agreed that there couldn't be a more perfect place for us to get married. And an intimate, no fuss ceremony really resonated with us. Of course, we'd celebrate with friends and family when we returned but we were going to get married in paradise!

Planning even a small ceremony from half-way across the globe presented its own challenges. I spent a lot of time on Pinterest looking at locations and vendors. There were lots of emails fired back and forth between our photographer, officiant, florist, makeup artist and myself. And with most weddings being planned a year out, we were definitely in a time crunch. But everyone I reached out to was so kind and eager to answer my questions and put my mind at ease.

So, on 2-16-17, in the presence of my mother and father, JP and I got married on the small beach at Moloa'a Bay. The morning rain let up and our incredible officiant, Kelvin Ho, led us through the most beautiful, spiritual Hawaiian ceremony of Aloha!
