HE did IT!

Kaleo, is Quinn's brother, just younger than him.
I think many in the family, didn't think HE would
ever take the plunge into marriage.
But he did and we were so glad to be apart of THEIR special day!
And here are the guys...patiently waiting!!
Keilani is the youngest niece and got to be the flower girl.
She was very cute!
Quinn's beautiful sisters.
And the bride and groom saying their I DO's.
notice the best-man and grooms-men are
not wearing the flower leis in this picture,
as they were above.
As the bridesmaids came in, they were
each given a lei by the guys.
the ceremony from a distance (as I chased
my boys around in the back).

The casual wedding atmosphere felt as though it
should have been on a beach, rather than in a
church with the rain coming down outside
and the temps in the 40's.
But it was still so beautiful!
The reception was full of cultural entertainment.
Quinn's mom invited native american dancers.
Kaipo was quite intrigued by the
eagle dancer.
And the hoop dancer was very cool, as well.
Quinn's older sister, Kuulei and her son, Kekoa
shared a musical number.
She sang, while Koa played the Ukulele.
They have quite the talented family!
Quinn's uncle catered the food and also had
Polynesian dancers.
I may be partial, but I thought the best
entertainment was our very own Tahitian Dancer!
Ame did an awesome job, even though she said
she would be to nervous to dance in front of her cousins!
**************************
Of course everyone was running behind,
so pictures didn't get taken until AFTER the reception.
We snapped a quick family photo.
I wish I would have gotten one of the WHOLE family,
but I am sure I can get a copy from someone.
Kaipo waiting patiently for the wedding to start
and practicing his SHAKA.
I'm not sure, but it looks like Ash
is trying to copy his bro.
Ame and her two cousins-Ella and Olivia(not pictured)
decided to dress alike, since their
other cousin got to be the flower girl.
The video below is of a special family song.
It was Quinn's grand-fathers favorite.
They sang the 1st verse in Hawaiian.
Quinn and his dad also sang it at
Kaipo's blessing (in Maui).
