We got hitched!

It was a beautiful wedding on Maui, more than either of us could have imagined. The pastor, a true Hawaiian, added flare to the ceremony and the musician was perfect. More importantly, we were truly in the moment unaware of the kids playing on the beach behind us and people stopping to take our picture. Our cheeks hurt after the ceremony from all the smiling - it was indescribably magnificent.

This was our pastor, blowing the conch shell to signal the beginning of the ceremony.


Looking into each other's eyes, amazed at the beauty of life.


Dancing together during the ceremony.


We got to release doves!


And there they go!


We are now a married couple! Everyone waved hankies as we walked through, which is a tradition in my family.


The whole gang


Strolling along, being married!


Paul can always make me laugh, I love this picture because it captures that.


This is Paul's grandfather's pocket watch and locket. Paul carried the pocket watch during the ceremony and I tied the locket around my bouquet. I put a picture of my grandpa in the locket so that he walked me down the aisle.


Running from the waves


And they lived happily ever after...

  3. Thanks for sharing the pictures ! You both look so happy - the way you should be. I also like how you changed the blog Name so efficiently. HeeHe.
    It's nice that you were able to share this special day in an intimate way with the people who mean so much to you.
    These photos will help those of us who were not able to go (although we wouldv'e loved to) feel the love that was obviously shared between the two of you. And to see how you officialy became one. (even though those of us who know both of you have seen your unity when you are together since you met)-

    Cheers Paul and Jennifer Edler!

    Love,
    Frank Andrea and Amy
