Goodbye Oahu

I just love Oahu. The memories I have made there from my childhood and my adulthood are plentiful and wonderful. This past weekend, my family and I were privileged to go back Oahu for a Induction Ceremony for Kevin's Grand Uncle Anthony. He was inducted into the Hall of Heroes at Fort DeRussy. It was an awesome ceremony and after that we were able to have some awesome family fun. We met up with Family and ate till our hearts content. On the last day of our visit, while on a Photo shoot - we caught this beautiful photograph. The water was absolutely beautiful that day, who knew that we were coming back to Maui to this windy and rainy weather.

This photograph was taken at Hickam AFB. I hope you enjoy this shot as much as I enjoyed being there. ;-) Have an awesome day.

Weekly Wedding Tip #6 - Quick Tip, A Girl's Day out!

I apologize for being 2 days late on this post - as I hope to have my Wedding Tips posted on Mondays. This week seems like it continued endlessly from last. Hawaii experienced a Tsunami (Tidal Wave) on Saturday and though we all escaped the worst... I must admit - having to be prepared and assisting those that were in harm's way did not leave me to much work and production time at all the last few days. My Weekly Tip for next week will be late as well as I am traveling to another island and will not have access to my blog.

So anyway, instead of lingering on why I couldn't get this done sooner... on to the tip of this week. This week's tip is a fun and short one meant especially for the bride.

Brides, Planning a wedding can be quite stressful... but, don't let the stress get to you - Have some fun. Take a day where you and your girls (bridesmaids and/or females that are a part of the wedding party) can have a day all to yourselves. Visit bridal shops and scope out all of the wedding dress ideas and little details (from hair to the footwear). Try on dresses together, even the really "over the top Bridesmaid's worst nightmare Prom Gowns" and laugh it up... Have fun. Make sure that when you are trying on different dresses that you are making notes of those you like and what you don't like about them. Ask the Bridal Shop if you are able to take photographs of the dresses on your Bridesmaids, as some of them do allow it. The pictures will be useful when reflecting back on the perfect cut and color of the dress selection and they will make great additions to your bridal binder or memory book. Make it a girl's day out and include a fun lunch or cocktails and spend the day having a good time and enjoying each others' company.

Though planning a wedding can be fun and exciting... many times the stress of the wedding can make you forget what the Wedding is all about... "Love and commitment." By taking a day with the girls and just laughing and having a good time, the stressful parts of the planning process will seem minimal and hopefully, you will Have Some Fun!

Happy Girl's Day Ladies. ;-)

Aloha,
Honey
