So what did we forget? Well let's see, Rings - check, Officiator - check, wedding party - check, hmmm, marriage license - OH NO - that was still in the safe in Michelle and Andy's room. So I took off my heels - put on my flats - grabbed Kyle and off we sprinted back to the Rainbow Tower for the marriage license!
Thank you Kyle for remembering the safe code and room number! 
After our little sprint, we were ready. The wedding planner escorted the officiator, Andy and the guests to the gazebo to prepare for the ceremony.
We all took our positions and waited for Hannah, then Michelle and Kyle to walk down the stairs to the gazebo.

Wow what a beautiful bride. I could see that glint (aka tear) in Andy's eye as he saw Michelle for the first time!
Michelle took her place beside Andy for the ceremony. It was intimate, personal and perfect.
The officiator was awesome. He performed wonderfully and was relaxed and just all around great.
Michelle and Andy did the sand ceremony which just made the ceremony that more romantic.
They said their vows and then came the kiss. And what a kiss it was!
Next came Andy's vows to Kyle and they were pronounced a family!
Kyle looks happy doesn't he?
After some photos at the gazebo it was off the the beach we went for more photos. Kyle's feet started to hurt and he was adorable as he ran around the beach in his socks!
The ambience at the beach was amazing. Not only were there beachcombers and people enjoying the beach. There were even some ukalele players. The pictures were awesome and we got to enjoy the beginning of the sunset.
After the pictures at the beach we walked to the Bali by the Sea. Andy, Michelle and Kyle did the cake cutting ceremony for the pictures and we were ready for dinner.
The restaurant set up a beautiful table and Michelle picked an awesome menu. The chef then outdid himself! The food was the best of the trip.
The Maui Onion Soup was to die for and the wedding cake was amazing.
To top it all off the chef sent out erupting Diamond Head truffle chocolate desserts. We had to video it because it was just too cool!
After a wonderful dinner, we went for a drink at the Tapa Bar. There were lots of people enjoying the local band. Andy and Michelle got a dance and Michelle through her bouquet into the crowd. Ironically enough the girl who caught it was engaged by the end of her Hawaiian holiday! I guess Andy and Michelle inspire love and commitment!
After a long day we were off to bed! It was - in the words of Andy's dad - the most romantic wedding!
