A first person account of reinvigorating romance.
I first visited Hawaii (the island of Oahu) in 2001 with my boyfriend and little did I know this vacation would change my life. On our second dive trip of the week, my boyfriend proposed to me underwater. I was really surprised but I definitely accepted.
Upon returning home we felt Hawaii calling our names and our wedding plans quickly involved the Islands of Aloha. In September 2002 we got married on Oahu's Waimanalo Beach with a small gathering of 11 adults and 2 children. The ceremony and setting were simply incredible. It was exactly as we had envisioned it: the ocean, the beach, and the blue sky. And Hawaii was just as amazing as we remembered it. We then headed to the north shore of Kauai for our honeymoon. Kauai was just as perfect as Oahu. Here we visited Kee Beach and Tunnels Beach and did some snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing.
We spent our first anniversary on Maui, another incredible island. From our condo we could watch the sunset every evening. On Maui we did some exploring and discovered some amazing beaches. We also stumbled upon several other couples getting married and we just knew their memories of that moment would be as wonderful as ours.
After three straight years of trips to Hawaii we had to suspend them for the years 2004 and 2005 due to the birth of our son in January 2004. We hope to return in 2006 in order to share our love of the islands with him.
