Thanks for the comments....I was nervous about letting you all see the raw footage... Enjoy your weddings...It is sooo amazing when they are destination! I can't even tell you in words how wonderful your day will be! BB5

Oh my goodness....I can't tell you how much I loved Maui! Especially the day of my wedding! It started off as a gorgeous day..unusually hot for that time of day.....I was up at 5:30am....Hairdresser and Makeup artist coming at 6:30am....being Maui'd at 8:30am.....WHY you ask....because Makena Cove is the most beautiful and POPULAR beach in Maui for weddings....there was 2 other weddings already underway when H2B and Rev. got there!!!!!! just kiddin' they had to get up just as early as me...and we are wedding twins! Girls this is the most amazing beach in the world!!! SO many picture options! (Black lava rock, brown suger sand, palm trees, turquiose blue water and adorable cement stairs just touching the sand! All in a small enclosed area! We went back twice just to sit and watch the turtles and waves crashing in... I will post all my pictures....please note, I'm not the most photogenic bride....some will actually make you laugh....(soooo terrible!) The wedding pictures are all at Makena Cove...no stairs pictures cause the other weddings were using them...boo hoo Some where on Po'olenalena Beach as well.

I just wanted to say thanks to all the Maui brides for your help! I will be posting our picture in October! Oh, in all this excitement... WHAT SHOULD I NOT FORGET..??!!!!!! BB5

Hey Sherrie... Have you received a quote for your flowers and picked the company your going to use Weird, I've emailed 3 different venues, and not a word....some more than a month ago? Is this normal I'm going to take this to the forum, cause I'm off topic, but I thought I would ask ya... Thanks and I hope the invites are out...don't forget the car... BB5

Sherry So glad that you got Jessica....! Thanks for the web address to HVM.. I actually received their DVD in the mail....it is incredible! (I'm on dial up so watching a video on the web is PAINFUL!!!) To update you, I booked my rental car...what a fee-ask-o....spell...hahahha I went through Costco finally and received a very, very good deal! ( on a full size...going all out baby!!!)hahahah I've left a few requests for price quotes on the flowers, so hopefully I will hear something good soon, as good, I mean, CHEAP...ya right, this is Maui! Anyway, it really is starting to get close isn't it.... Up to this point I've been feeling very organized...now, I'm not so sure...weird, huh...I know one thing for sure, I would love to have more money!!! My budget is going out the window... Anyway, thanks for letting me vent...BB5

Sherrie...Don't mention it! I know how it feels to discover info from another bride and be very grateful...So glad that you got Dan...did you talk to him...isn't he great!!!! Very kind...Oh for your info, he is not gay! He used to be a pro football player....I learned that from a fellow bride, she loved him so much that she wanted too set him up with her home town hairdresser, assuming they are all gay...hahah. Jessica works with Dan all the time, so if you booked him, she's more than likely available! So DOESN'T answer you right away...but I think she writes the date down and then gets back to you later.. I see that we are a couple of weeks apart in our wedding dates....What do you have left to do I have flowers, cake and videographer...oh and a rental car....So I better get a move on! Talk to you soon... BB5

Congrads and welcome...I too, am a morning bride...8:30am to be exact...UGH....Anyway, we are have our reception at a Luau...which one are you using? We are going to the Feast of Lele...you are all at private tables and served and its on the beach, its formal and has fantastic food and drink... Again welcome...BB5

Hi girls The make up artist that I have is Jessica Waite....everyone who has had her speaks very highly of her work, and the hairdresser that I have is Dan Sanchez....too be honest with you, I don't know anyone who hasn't used them! They are sooo good that you have to book way in advance! Just thought you would like too know, as I have researched this topic for almost 1 year!!!! Best Wishes BB5

Sherry...LOVED the novel...heck you are getting me all fired up again!! I love the sounds of your dress...I'm a little worried about mine...its satin and quite heavy....having said that...our wedding is at 8:30am....Can you imagine...!!! (Apparently the water looks amazing at this time of day and the beach is VERY popular...My make up artist will have her work cut out for her...heck, I can barley look good by noon....hahahha) We are having the wedding celebration as an all day thing....so I have a beautiful white silk dress that I will change into after our brunch at the Seawatch....to wear to the Luau at Feast of Lele....and here's another thing,.; I actually have another dress for the 'trash the dress' pics...GOT to love ebay!!!!!! As far as an officiant...we have one tentitively booked, but I'm leaning towards having the guy you have...I want to have a Hawaiian! Chiquita No dance floor for us, we are only there for brunch...well, then again it depends how many pina coloda's we have...hahahah Wouldn't that be cute.... Anyways girls...keep in touch.. BB5

We are using a popular but secluded beach on Maui called Makena Cove...Beautiful!!! Hey Starchild.....LOVE the collage of pictures....DO TELL!!!! I would love to do that too! BB5

Hey Sherrie...It HAS been a while....I see that your wedding is just a wee bit after mine...Where are you tying the knot.?.. We just had my future parents in law come back from there,...I quess the Seawatch rest. was amazing...and they said Maui is THE most gorgeous place they've been too, and they've been around! Because we are 'eloping' (some people know) I didn't have a wedding planner. I do have Sean Michael Hower for my photographer, and I plan to pick my flowers there.... Same with the cake... Have you got your dress....Sorry(nosy) its been awhile, and I forgot how much I miss talking to fellow brides!! Congrads, by the way!! BB5

Ok, you girls were RIGHT...My girls dresses came in today...31 days after I ordered them, BUT THERE HERE!!! And they are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for all you support....I really needed that! Thanks again BB5
