Matt & Lacey

She was the first to notice him, though she did have the distinct advantage being perched atop the campus balcony one Hilo afternoon with her roommate, Sammy. And while it wasn’t uncommon for Lacey and Sammy to sit and scope out the University of Hawaii, Hilo’s most eligible and study, something about Matt was different.

It wasn’t long before Matt, handsome, funny, baseball-playing Matt, found an eye for Lacey as well. After all, a girl as kind and genuine and sinfully beautiful as Lacey doesn’t go unnoticed for long…

Matt and Lacey were married on the beach, in the sand, without their shoes, at Kona’s King Kamehameha hotel. And while the pre-wedding weather had done everything in it’s power to convince Lacey that there would be rain, on the day of the wedding someone had other plans. As the beach-layers and sun-tanners were cleared from the ceremony site, the clouds made a clearing as well. Leaving room for the most beautiful rays of Hawaiian sun to grace the newlyweds with its presence.

Lacey and Matt, thank you. For the kindness you showed me throughout your wedding and the entire week beforehand, I am so grateful. And above all, thank you for bringing me to Hawaii to join you on your incredible day. It was an honor to witness you two become husband and wife.

Lots of love!
Michelle

This would be how Matt looks at Lacey all the time…

I lovelovelovelovelove, Love. Especially when it looks like this…

Lacey and Matt had the best (but really, the best) bridal party. All of their bridesmaids and groomsmen were so kind and fun and ridiculously photogenic. And they all went out of their way to welcome me. Leaving me to feel as though I’d just made 18 new best friends.

At the end of night Lacey’s family friend, Rosemary, surprised everyone by performing the most beautiful traditional Hawaiian Hula. And if you were listening carefully, you would have heard guests exchange whispers of the fairytale evening before them.

Kelsi & Matt : Destin, Florida

It was hardly a one day affair. In fact, it didn’t come close to the expected afternoon ceremony and evening reception. With family and friends traveling from London, Wales, Oregon, and Oklahoma (and Matt himself making the journey from Australia), Kelsi and Matt thought it best to make their wedding an extended celebration. Over the course of one week both families (from grandparents to seven month twins) stayed in the same three story Destin, Florida beach house. They shared meals and kitchens and couches and bathrooms and even fought over equal sharing of baby cuddles. So by the time Kelsi & Matt said their vows and kissed to forever, the day was really more of a marriage of two families. The Cross’s promised to jump the pond and visit the Brit’s in Wales, while Matt’s family happily agreed to do the same in Oregon.

It was kind of exactly how every wedding, and marriage, should be.

Kelsi & Matt, ohhhh Kels & Matty. I really, really love you. If I write too much more I’ll start crying. I’ll really do it, right here, in front of the whole world! But know that I’m so wildly happy for you. You two could not be more perfectly made for each other and I feel like our little family is finally complete…

That is until you want to get started on those British-Aussie-American babies of yours (but talk about a weird accent. Yikes. I suggest making sure they’re funny…or at the least have great personalities.) 

Lovelovelove,
M.
