HAWAII

One word can describe our trip:

Paradise


I'm not even sure where to begin, the whole trip was wonderful and went faster than the speed of light.
The most important event, the wedding, was breathtaking to say the least. It was surreal sitting on the beach in Maui, looking at Jenny and Kyle with the sunset behind them as they said their vows. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, or on the beach ;-)
We all walked down the aisle to Iz's version of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and it was so fitting.
Brian did a wonderful job and I was so proud to watch him up there. He says it was the most emotionally attached he has been to a wedding and was incredibly honored to officiate.
Jenny's vows were so incredibly articulate and moving you couldn't help but cry. Kyle did a wonderful job as well and it was so obvious how much they love each other.
After the ceremony they took a few more pictures on the beach and played "Somewhere over the Rainbow", so we all stood around watching and talking. Well, someone turned around and looked up at the sky and what do you know, there was a rainbow! So we of course start crying and thought it could not have been more fitting.
After the ceremony was a mini reception (since they are having the big one on the 21st here in Oregon) with a wonderful dinner and lots of dancing.

I want to get approval before I post pictures, they might want me to wait and post wedding pictures until after the reception.

I think I want to leave this in a post all on it's own. To Jenny and Kyle, thank you for having your wedding in Hawaii, it was so perfect and fitting for you two. It was incredible watching you exchange vows and it is so obvious how perfect you are for each other.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Kyle Tegner!
