This very special day is just the icing on the metaphorical wedding cake of a beautiful family that has been committed to each other for a long time. Rudy looks like a tough guy on the outside but he is just about the sweetest man I’ve ever met. He was in charge of getting their three boys ready for their role as co-ringbearers and he handled the task with the gentle and loving patience of a great dad. Marie, calm, serene and quietly in charge is not only a super-mom, but a gorgeous bride!
The wedding took place in the Maile Garden at the Hale Koa Hotel in Honolulu. I love this garden because it is so green and tropically beautiful. It is also a perfect spot for a wedding ceremony on a hot Hawaii afternoon! It’s nice and shady and there is almost always a lovely breeze blowing through. Family and friends headed up to the reception and the happy couple an I got to spend a little bit of time on the beach. We were rewarded with a fantastic Hawaii sunset! What a beautiful day!
Check out those eyes! The definition of smoky eyed beauty.
