I GOT EFFING MARRIED, AND I HAVE THE BEST NEW RACE CAR DRIVER NAME EVER!!!!

haha but seriously, could my new name get any more redneck?!?!!  This glorious day happened Jan 15 2011 and it was the worse 2 week weather on Kauai:( Thank God on that Saturday it didnt rain….well it poured for 5 minutes during the reception but by then I could care less if it rained vomit. I was so blessed that it was the only day that week it wasnt hurricane weather, although it was humid as hell. I will write then post pics.

I got ready on the southside at my parents house, my sis did my makeup and my fellow bird missy did my hair. Everything came out perfect!! The house was hectic, but thats pretty standard on the day of…right?!! haha we could just be freaks anyways. I had my sis, her bf and my wedding coordinator alana putting up a million lanterns and center pieces at the reception place(plantion gardens) up untill the last minutes!!! I didnt have enough lights for the lanterns and I had miss hoku running around town looking for  jimmyrigg versions, it was typical last minute fuck ups that made the day that much more exciting…not.

My family piled in the limo and started the hour drive up to the northshore for the ceremony. I put the ceremony decorations, tent, and organization in Roy’s moms hands and was anxious to see the outcome…I was delightfully surprised:) I had my friend Kepa Kruse play slack key while everyone arrived and had a bagpiper play as I walked down the aisle.

I didnt think I would cry, but it was soo weird not being able to control your emotions and I made the ugliest faces trying to hold back tears and I just ended up looking constipated ( i would redo it over again in a heartbeat to change this!!!) We had Roys buddy’s dad marry us and he was short and sweet just how I like it. We did the sand ceremony where you take the sands from each of our beaches and combine them. Roys sand went in easy and my sand was a little more stubborn, it was a total representation of us!!!

15 minutes later we jumped in the limo and headed back to the southside for the party…errr reception I wanted it to be just a party and that it was! We are pretty untraditional so we only did father daughter dance and first dance and spent the rest of the nite drinking eating and dancing. I was especially proud of my signature cocktails that I had made, one was an old fav that my sister and I made up a couple years ago called the ninja ginga which is basically a lemon drop but ginger instead of lemon, and the other drink was a cucumber infused vodka with lavender infused simple syrup soda and limejuice!! sooo yummy. We went thru 26 liters of vodka that nite! I would expect nothing less from my friends Plus it was my master plan for liquoring up our friends so they give more money to us during the money dance

The best part  was ending the nite with ‘sweet caroline’ karaoke dance with the entire party on the dance floor surrounding Roy and I <3

we snuck out forgetting my dress, shoes, and roys jacket…it was a good nite:) BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!
