We packed up our things, including our clothes for the wedding, and headed to the other side of the island to meet up with Mary, Jennifer, and Barbara (Bob's mom and sisters). After sitting around their pool at the Westin for a couple of hours and having lunch and a mai tai, we started getting ready for the wedding. What a crew we are. Bob forgot to bring socks for his dress shoes. I forgot underwear, since I wore my swimsuit over. Barbara forgot to pack the shoes to go with her dress. No worries! This is Hawaii! Everything is casual here. We all got by!
The wedding started at 4 PM and I have to say, it was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to. I wish Carena and Marie could have been here to take notes!! The location was on the lush north side of the island, at Haiku Mills, the site of a former sugar cane plantation and factory. The old factory building, which has since lost its roof and become overrun with tropical growth, was the site of the ceremony and reception. Below are some pictures to help give you an idea of the venue and atmosphere.
