Sherri thats a great idea, it is exactly what I did when I was one of the few RM brides on the board. As I would find info about resorts I was interested in I would just start posting it...even if no one else was looking at the stuff at least I knew I had it here to look at like my own little journal.

Thanks Jackie…I will try and keep this thing updated b.c. I am not good at journaling. I do have a lot of info at home so when I get home I will cut and paste it here.

ok so where am I at

general info about this Oahu wedding

We are traveling from Chicago all the way to Honolulu for our wedding. This is a very small wedding. No attendees, no long ceremony. We will keep the African – American tradition of jumping the broom and we will add a non-traditional sand ceremony instead of unity candles. We are expecting anywhere between 2- 20 guests. Instead of rehearsal dinner we will have a welcome to Hawaii Luau the day before our wedding. We decided on destination wedding because we wanted a small and intimate setting and this provides for one.

We are having somewhat of a WC. See we found A Hawaii wedding which will find all the vendors we want and get them there to us. Pretty reasonable but risky IMO.

Well AMC is looking good BBL :)

Hi. I love Oahu. Just got back from visiting my sister and her family - live there - military. Check out my slideshow on my website if you like. there are some great pix. I am a photographer in Charleston SC and I am always looking for a great destination wedding. If you like my style feel free to look me up! We could talk about photography and I have a place to stay!
