Lora and I headed over to meet Carrie, her mom, and aunt at the ANARA Spa at the Grand Hyatt Resort in Poipu about 15 miles west of our hotel. Here, we prepped for Carrie’s and John’s wedding with hair, nail, and makeup, as well as lunch. Upon arrival, Lora and I took a quick tour of the spa and found that a lot of it was open air, the jacuzzi, the lava rock enclosed showers, etc.

At around 4 pm, we dressed in Carrie’s room, and then toasted the occasion with some champagne. At ten of 5, we started our way down to the terrace for the ceremony.

Everyone looked great in their Hawaiian wear. The service was short, sweet, and funny.

Following, we had appetizers on the terrace. The wedding party then headed to the beach for professional photos. Those photos will be available online in about two weeks.

We ate dinner at a thatched hut roof style restaurant over the ponds. The toasts were all great. The food stuffed us beyond belief. It was very yummy. Dessert was almond and raspberry flavored cake. Delish!

It was a fantastic and beautiful day. One I’m certain no one will forget.
