Where are you getting married?

We are getting married on 9/9/9 on the laceType w:st="on">islandlaceType> of laceName w:st="on">O’ahulaceName>, exactly 6 years to the day after we started dating.

Tell us a little about the wedding...

We both love the outdoors, especially the ocean, so we are getting married at the beach club that Kauilani belongs to in Hawaii. The wedding ceremony and reception will take place in the same location with all of our family and friends. It will be an elegant Hawaiian wedding. 

What are some of the elements that you are most excited about?

We both grew up on the water, Eric on Lake Washington and Kauilani on the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii, and are excited to celebrate the beginning of our new life together in such a romantic and beautiful place like Hawaii. We want our guests to have a good time and are deeply honored that so many of them are coming from so far away to celebrate with us.

What is one thing that you can’t live without for your wedding and/or wedding planning?

Groom’s answer: The bride because everything else is fun and exciting, but secondary to my true love.

Bride’s answer: I can’t beat that so my answer is Eric.

What made you choose your invitation design?

We absolutely love our wedding invitations and have Paper Fling to thank for that.  From the beginning of our relationship, their work quality has been second to none.  They bring a unique expertise and perspective due to their special business focus, giving them a distinct advantage over competitors, and are able to translate a myriad of options into an easily comprehendible set of choices that even the groom can understand.  The positive adjectives that describe Paper Fling are numerous, but certainly include professional, talented, and responsive. Working with them allowed us to find a design that fits us, and while we may lack the creativity and artistic talent to create such a masterpiece on our own, we will gladly take credit for Paper Fling’s skills and recommend them to anyone.
