Why Hawai'i?

Having grown up on Oahu, I always knew I wanted to get married on the beach.  Though I have since lived in San Diego, Las Vegas, San Francisco and now Dallas, the distance has only made my heart grow fonder for the casual romance of a white sandy beach and a warm sunset.

I do have to admit that wedding location-wise, San Francisco gave Hawaii a run for its money.  SF is very dear to our hearts since we met and lived together there--to us, it's the best city in the world and will always be our "other" home.

In the end, I wanted to share my childhood his family and our friends from the mainland.  But really--just an excuse to get back to paradise!

Olowalu Plantation House
Classy, Casual, Beachfront--My Dream House with a Wrap-Around Porch

This venue was a no-brainer for me.  I adore traditional architecture and wrap-around porches.  Add the fact that it's on Maui and steps away from the water--beautiful!  No scouting trip necessary.
