what do YOU want to hear at the wedding?

may i just say that i STILL get giddy when i see the word "wedding" and  i know that it's referring to OURS!!!!! =) anyhow ... soooo ... we want to know ... what songs do you want to hear at the wedding?

seriously ... we want to know! we're asking you ... yep ... YOU!!!

p.s. ... anyone who says "no country" adds on 2 more country songs to the playlists :-) yep! love y'all!!

ACCOMMODATIONS

we're pretty darn lucky to have a bunch of peeps planning to join us for the wedding from out-of-town. our local peeps may also want to have a mini staycation or just an excuse not to have to drive back into "town" from the north shore ... so, here's a couple tidbits of information. more coming soon ...

North Shore: we know that many of you may be coming from out-of-town or some of our local guests would like to stay close to the venue so that we can party without thought of driving "all the way" back into town. there are several options in the kahuku area: Turtle Bay Resort, independent vacation rentals (i.e. Vacation Rentals by Owner), and Turtle Bay Condos.

we'll be staying at the Turtle Bay Condos (unit: 110 West) on friday and saturday nights and we'd love for you to join us!

Waikiki: for those of you out-of-towners who are planning to spend some time before and/or after the wedding on the island, we will be getting info up here soon about hotel recommendations.


so, don't forget to come back here ... we'll be adding a few informational pages about where to go, what to do, where to stay, other peeps that you may know ... or may want to get to know. we'll also be asking for your input, thoughts and pictures as time goes on. 


HUGS and love!!

about us ... just because i wrote it ...

manda (aka = panda): aussie-land born, UH-athletics-&-soccer-loving, beer-snob drinking, laid-back thinking, family-devoted, simply-amazing woman who had her life invaded by 2 super cool peeps :-) (can you tell who's writing this post??)

lisa (aka = mama): kailua-born, non-UH-athletics/soccer-lover, book-addicted, wine-drinking, not-so-laid-back-thinking, over-opinionated woman who was surprised to find her soon-to-be wife in (where else?) UH athletics

CHEEHOO!!! we're getting married!!!!!!

aloha mai!! if you're here, it's probably because you're thinking about joining us on 7 january 2012 for our crazy and casual celebration of the two of us finally getting hitched!! yep! we're going to do it! our little family is going to become "legal".

we're looking forward to sharing our adventures of leading up to the wedding with all of you. you'll also be able to find a whole ton of information about the logistics of coming to hawaii for our celebration (where to stay, what to do, who else is coming, when/where/all-those-little details of the event itself!)

we are SO excited ... and are so blessed to have the love and support of all of you in our lives as well!

stay tuned ... it'll be a fun ride!
