Today marks our 5th wedding anniversary! Five years ago we were married at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows, on the Big Island of Hawaii. We had a beautiful sunset ceremony in the sand, with all of our closest friends and family. I wore a gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown, which I once made the mistake of taking out to show Adella – she threw a fit because I wouldn’t let her try it on (we spent a fortune having it properly preserved). I know everyone probably thinks the same about their own wedding; but ours was definitely the best party I have ever been to! The food was to die for, all provided from local resources on the island, and no one ever saw the bottom of their glass! Tim and I plan to celebrate with some rum drinks, pupu’s and island inspired food sans kids, cheers!
