Lana & Peyton
Best Bride
Questions/Answers:
1.Where did you and your fiancée meet for the first time?
As crazy as it may sound me and Peyton met on a reality show called Bachelorette.
Before that I was on a similar reality show called the Bachelor where I was fighting for a gentlemans affection. I admit I fallen hard for him but when it got down to the wire he didn't share the same feelings and he picked the other girl.
I was crushed! Heartbroken and I swore not to put myself out there again.
But a few months later and twenty thousand or so ice cream cartons later the producers called me and asked if I wanted to give it another shot, however this time it was me who they were all fighting for.
I hesitated but eventually excepted. Things were looking better.
After a few months later all the guys arrived. Some won the chance to have one on one dates with me and others would have to share their first impression with me. Peyton was one of those guys.
As far as first impressions go, I'm pretty certain that I noticed him before he noticed me.
He had an earring in both of his ears and one in his nose. His dreadlocks were hung high above his head and he was twiddling with his thumbs and he looked like he was mouthing the words to “Cupids Chokehold” *laughs*
I mean who wouldn't notice a guy like that? To be honest, I first judged him by his appearance and I thought he was just here for T.V but ... boy was I ever wrong.
When he greeted me I took a deep look into his deep brown eyes and I knew this guy was going to be sticking around for awhile.
9.What does you fiancée do that drives you crazy (pet-peeve)?
Pet peeve. Honestly I love everything about Peyton but he can be a bit too childish sometimes. I catch him watching cartoons all the time and if I want to watch TV we wrestle over the remote. It can be really annoying when oprahs on, him and his cartoons are over!
10.Do you get along with his family?
His family is amazing and I wouldn't change anyting. They were really welcoming with me and I felt like family instantly.
11.What romantic things does he do when no one is looking?
He's such a romantic but a lot of people don't see that side of him.
In our new home we have a guest room. Since we agreed to wait until marriage to take that step peyton and I sleep in different rooms.
That may be a little werid but temptation is crazy and we just wanted something special for our honeymoon. Our rooms are right next to each other though.
Anyways that doesn't stop Peyton from checking in on me every night.
After we put Lizzie to bed we hang out in my room for a few extra hours. He fluffs up my pillow, checks under my bed for monsters and tucks me in real tight.
With all this treatment, maybe holding out after marriage isn't such a bad idea. lol
12.What special thing do the two of you share that no one knows about?
If we tell you then we'd have to kill you.
Nah.. Kidding.
Every night before going to sleep we both sing the same song as we nod off to sleep. It makes it seem like we are in the same room with each other and we feel connected!
The song I'll never tell because it's our little secret.

The proposal
Well after the rose ceremony I just jumped to the conclusion that they were engaged. Of course neither one of us exactly said “Will you marry me” but me giving him the last rose was enough for the both of us.
With reality T.V you get this "15 minutes of fame" and we've been getting tons and tons of publicity about wedding dates and wedding planning that it was starting to take it's tole.
It's been pretty rushy with all the pressure of setting a date so me and Peyton haven't really gotten time to discuss other important things.
We were booked for talk show after talk show and when one of us had another obligation we would have to do the show solo.
Sometimes we would go a few days without directly seeing each other. It was pretty hard!
I didn't help that I was still working in the Virgin Islands and Peyton had a few gigs to finish up in his hometown. This long distance thing would only last for about a week and after that was settled we would move in together.
We wanted to step out of the lime light for a second, relax and just enjoy each other. We decided that for a week we would retreat and get settled into our new "family" home. We spent the day setting up the new furniture and all that good stuff and within a few days we'd be ready to move in.
On the night that we moved in Peyton was no where in sight. The last time I saw him was in the morning when he dropped Lizzie off.
As the night drew on I was getting really worried!
This was going to be "our" night together and Peyton would never stand me up like this. Or would he?
After all this thinking you can only imagine how upset I was when Fran rushed over to tell me that Peyton was at the park doing his standup routine!
Well I was furious and I never been so angry at him in my life.
Fran said she would watch Lizzie if I wanted to confront him and if it was any other day I would have remained cool.
Today I was having the worst cramps, the wedding planner called to tell me the DJ backed out, the movers broke my favorite vase and worst of all I lost my engagement ring!
I rush out of the house with only my PJ's on and I every step I took I got a bit madder.
" I can't believe him!" How could he cheat on me with comedy!? I mean honestly! If you say your going to be somewhere then why won't you be there?!" I mumbled.
I made it to the park, where Fran said he was, and I was still fumming.
I didn't care if I looked like a grumpy, green carebear; all I cared about was seeing Peyton and telling him how crushed I was that he decided to ditch me and Lizzie for comedy!
However when I approached him my expression changed.
...
It was a set up!
...
He was at the end of the bridge and he was kneeling down on one knee.
Around him were roses in vases and peddles sprinkled all over the floor.
It was incredibly romantic and I couldn't help but not feel angry anymore.
" It took you long enough sweetheart! I was waiting for you all night," he said with a raised eyebrow.
I gave off a giggle and all I could do was smile and wait for what he would say next.
" I love you Lana and nothing will keep me from that.
We could be on a different state, a different country or in a different world and even then no woman in the world could compare to your beauty and your grace.
I know that all of this T.V publicity has us 'engaged' but until I offically ask you, I never considered that. You deserve a man to get on bended knee and treat you like the princess you trully are.
I wanted the moment I ask you to be special, surprising and I wanted it to be something you'd love!
So now I'm offically asking you ....
Lana Kelii will you do me the honor and be my wife?"
I was speechless when he pulled out the ring I thought I had misplaced earlier in the day and when I placed it on my finger it never looked so beautiful.
" Yes Peyton," I gasped as I looked directly in his eyes.
~~
We kissed and it was magical.
I forgot I was angry with him earlier on. I was now completely in bliss, filled with happiness.
I forgot about the PJ's. I was now wearing the most beautiful gown.
I forgot all about the pubicity!
This was the proposal I was waiting for and I loved Peyton for giving it to me. I'll never settle for the expected with Peyton Orbin as my husband.
Lana Kelii and Peyton Orbin
Special Task
I wanted the invites to be playful, fun and just scream hawaii!
The flower is beautiful and the color is unique and beachy.
Our cake really stood out for us!
It's really elegant but still the flowers bring out the beachy side of things.
It's marble and the sample was really good! :angel:
Bachelorette Party/Bridal Shower
I'm so thankful that I have such an understanding Fiance.
He was very supportive about my wishes for a Traditional Hawaiian Wedding and because of this I wanted him to have something special.
When the talk about a bachelor party came up, he didn't really want one.
I guess he figured it wouldn't be much of a bachelor party without all of his friends from his old neighbourhood.
Well that was my perfect cue. I told him I'd be completely fine if we both flew back to his old neighbourhood for a weekend. He loved the idea and soon enough we packed our bags and were heading 'home'.
I didn't want to be much of a bother to him and his friends so I convinced him I would be okay in the hotel channel surfing and pigging out on room service.
However if you know Peyton you know he's always up to something and it really shouldn't have been such a surprise to me when I found Fran in my hotel room... the night of the bachelor party.
" If the guys can have fun then the girls can have fun too," she whispered loud enough for Peyton to hear.
I quickly pulled her into a hug and I was excited that I wouldn't be completely alone tonight.
" I'm sure me and you will find something to do," I smiled.
" Actually it'll be me, you and peytons cousins!" she giggled.
My eyes darted at Peyton and I noticed a worried look on his face.
" Perfect! I heard so much about them," I giggled.
Soon enough Peytons cousins Kizzie and Jordana picked us up from the hotel.
Our first stop was a beauty salon where we would get pampered from our hair to our toes.
With all the rush of the wedding it was good to get pampered and gossip with the girls. Peytons cousins turned out to be really cool. They were so sweet and funny! I guess it really does run in the family.
The hot topic of the day was Peyton as a little boy and the things they told me.... I know he'd kill them if he found out.
Appartently he wore braces for 6 months until he was caught chewing bubble gum and well... his grandmother wouldn't foot the bill of getting them repaired. He had to walk around with gum in his braces for a few weeks.(laughs) Trust me it gets abit worst, way beyond eatting worms and playing pranks.
After we got our hair and nails done we went out to eat.
We chatted and laughed for what seemed to be hours and it was dark when we returned to the hotel.
I figured my bachelorette party was close to being over and I was looking forward to getting some TLC between me and my pillow.
However it much of a bachelorette party without presents and I was excited when the girls pulled out a big box.
"PRESENTS!" the girls giggled in tune.
" You shouldn't have but Thank you!" I said reaching for the box.
I shook it before opening and I knew by the sound that it was clothing.
When I opened the box a beautiful sexy dress caught my eye.
"Ooh! Peyton is gonna love this," I smiled as I tried it up to me.
The girls busted out into laughter and I didn't know why.
" Whats so funny?! He will love it," I smiled.
" Thats good to know, but..." smiled Fran holding back her laugh.
" It's not for Peyton," Kissie giggled finishing her sentence.
The hair, the nails, the dress! It was all coming together now!
This was all a set up for a bigger picture and I couldn't believe I fell for it.
" So heres the plan, we all get changed and then a limo will be waiting to take us out," smiled Fran announcing it to everyone.
Everyones eyes lit up but mine were brighter then theres. What do these girls really have planned for tonight?!
It hit me! My bacherlorette party wasn't close to being finished, it was just starting.
~*~
2 champange glasses and 45mins later we were all ready!
Look out men of the world, we were looking for some hearts to break.
We may not be single but that didn't mean we couldn't 'pretend' to be avalible.
I thought we were heading straight to the club but I knew I could no longer predict what would happen.
The limo pulled up to a dark boutique and we all got out of the car.
Jordana knocked on the door twice, the lights flickered on and the door flew open.
" Hello Lana, I've been expecting you," said a woman in a mysterious vocie.
We all walked in giggling and I noticed that this boutique specialized in Lingere.
" Pick one thing," laughed Fran.
" Only one? But everythings so pretty," I laughed.
---
The girls made me try on a few things and I admit, I was feeling like a model.
I found this really cute pink suit that I knew would be perfect for me.
After shopping we hit the Club.
I was definitly expecting this but I didn't expect me to have SUCH a great time.
We all ended up on the dance floor and they way we were looking all the guys swarmed around us.
Well I did end up getting my dance on and at one time it was with some guy.
Of course, it was purely innocent but guys have a different way of interperting a little dancing.
So when I made my way to the bar he followed behind me like a puppy dog. Poor guy!
" So what are you drinking beautiful," he smiled.
I smiled at him and instantly thought of Peyton. How jealous would he be right now if he seen some guy hitting on me?
" You have a very pretty smile," he whispered.
" Thanks... My fiance thinks so too," I whispered back.
He started to laugh and I joined him.
" Figures... the pretty ones are always taken," he said.
He shot a look at Fran as if to say "What about her"
" Yeah she's very happily married!" I laughed.
He shook his head and called us crazy for getting all the guys hopes up tonight.
For awhile after that I sat at the bar and watched the girls "go to town".
A few more guys offered to buy me a drink but I had to turn them down.
I never got this much attention when I was single! It much be the glow of a future Bride.
~*~*~*~*~
Peytons Party
Since the wedding was going to be in Hawaii, Lana and I agreed that I could have my bachelor party where ever I wanted.
Of course I picked my old neighbourhood, close to my family and of course all of my friends.
Lana was stolen away by Fran and my cousins earlier in the day and I was really worried!
It wasn't what Lana would do that worried me it was what my cousins would try and put her up to doing. How do I know they would try something like that?
Well I grew up with these people and I figured out how they worked way back (when we were in diapers). They were known for getting me into sticky situations. Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Well even though I got blamed for it, it was really these girlies who put me up to it!
The only thing that eased my thoughts was the fact she had Fran with her. That way she wouldn't comply so easily!
She was a bit uneasy about my bachelor party too. Just before she left she gave me the offical “touching is cheating” speech and it was cute for her to think that there was really another girl that I wanted to be touching.
I know she wanted me to reciprocate with the“I would never do anything to hurt you” line but the “I'll see what I can do” joke was looking too good to pass up.
After she kissed me goodbye she shook her fist and threated me I'd pay for that joke later.
Deep down I was counting the hours until later.
My lifetime best friend, Niko, decided to throw the bachelor party. This was my brother from another mother and even though he couldn't make the wedding he would always be my best man!
I've never been 'home' in months and when I got there I was so happy to see him.
" Orbie, man give me somethin'," he said holding out his hand for props.
" Niko whats up?" I said holding back a few tears.
I had a feelin that this bachelor party was going to be more like a family reunion.
Well like Niko most of the guys wouldn't be able to make it to wedding so this was their chance to wish me luck, give me advice and ... clown the heck out of me!
Being good friends with a bunch clowns can be a real bummer at times like this. They have hundreds and hundreds “husband” and “owned” jokes. For example; whenever I spoke for more then 20 seconds they would interupt me with a loud whipping noise.
But all and all, I love them and I can't hold it against them.
Two years ago it was me on the end of those whipping nosies! I guess real love does change you and it's worth it to go through any of the torture your boys decide to put you through.
" Dang Pey, She got you cutting off your hair and stuff! If that not owned then I don't know what is," said Teddy as he patted my hair.
Other then the teasing the night was turning out to be a lot of fun. Niko rented the most “macho” movies he could find, bought the most “macho” food and we played the most “macho” games. (If you call dice, cards and pool macho? Lol)
Over poker we got into a deep conversation, well as deep you can get after 3 beers.
“ So Peyton you never seemed like the one to settle down?” asked Riley.
I pretended I was studying my hand but I was really thinking about the question. It wasn't that it was a hard question, it was just hard to explain how you feel to a group of boozed up friends.
“ When your find her you'll feel the same way man,” I smiled.
“ Awwwww,” they all echoed imitating vocies more feminie.
“ Shut up! It's true. You don't know how much you really love someone unless you picture yourself without them. I can't picture myself ever being without Lana. (pause) Gary you've been married to Jeanie for 9 years can you tell these guys,” I said looking for support.
He was silent for a second and I soon knew he was no one to look for suuport.
“ ... Well Ahhh? ... after this party tonight I wasn't plannin on going home. Your my boy Peyton but this Bachelor party was my ticket to freedom! This is the first time in 8 years Jeanie let me out the house alone. So my bags are packed, they are in the trunk, and I'm making a clean break to New Mexico,” he joked.
We all knew how much Jeanie and Gary teased about their relationship but at the end of it we knew they were happy.
For the rest of the poker game the husbands shared their stories. They had us in stitches telling us all about pregnancy cravings, taking out the trash and them going on little errands for “personal female items”.
When I thought about Lana having me doing leaps and bounds for her I admit I was a little scared but I couldn't wait to have my own stories.
When the night died down and all my friends were as full of beer, conversation and food the door bell rung. My heart started to beat really fast and I started to feel really guilty!
“ Niko, I will kick your ass if you ordered a stripper. I didn't even see Lanas pom poms yet why do I wanna see another womans?” I laughed as Niko walked confused to the door.
When he opened the door, not surprisingly there were strippers.
I turned my head smiling and slowly walked in the other room. Niko followed behind me.
“ What am I gonna do if Lana and my cousins walk in here any minute?” I said rubbing my head.
“ I didn't order them. I swear!” said Niko with sincere eyes. He looked as shocked and as nervous as me and I knew he would never lie to me.
It was like a big mystery and I wanted to know who was behind it all. I wasn't going to get heated or anything it was just something I had to know, incase Lana asked I wanted to tell her the whole truth.
Laughter and chanting filled the room and after it let up I went into get some closure to this case.
“ Okay, okay... Who ordered the strippers?” I smiled with a raised vocie.
They all looked at Niko as if they suspected 'the best man' had everything to do with it.
“ Nah ... seriously guys who paid for the strippers,” I said as my smile faded.
I quickly examined everyones face and they were just as clueless as me.
It was quiet for about 10 seconds before someone finally spoke up.
“ If you must know it was me,” said one of the dancers as she turned around.
My stomach turned and I felt like I was going to be sick.
I guess all my boys were too boozed up to tell that one of the girls stripping was Tiffany!
... Tiffany is Lizzies biological mom.
As Niko escorted all the dancers out of his house and began to call Taxi's for a few of my boys, I personally escorted Tiffany into the backyard.
“ Peyton you should have seen your face! It was priceless! You looked like you seen a ghost,” she said laughing. I didn't flinch. The last time I saw Tiffany was 3 years ago, she was standing on the corner with nothing but vodka in her hand. Lizzie was in the car and lucky for her she didn't recognize the mother who abandoned her.
“ Your still up to your old tricks I see,” I said with a frim vocie.
“ I was just giving you a wedding gift. The dancing is only part one, I have something special prepared for part Two,” she said trying to come onto me. I could smell the vodka on her breath and I gently pushed her away. Vivid memories were coming back now.
“ You never did grow up,” I said in a sorry tone.
“ What is that supposed to mean! Now all of a sudden that your Mr. Engaged you think your better then me!?” she said angry.
“ Look at you Tiffany? Your still pulling tricks, your still doing drugs and your still drinking. To be honest for the past 3 years I thought you were dead,” I said.
“ Oh boo hoo, what are you now the moral police? Just because you got out doesn't mean you should look down on those who didn't,” she said as her vocie grew meaner.
“ Got out?! What are you talking about? The day my daughter was born was the moment I knew I had to get out. It was a choice and you choose this!” I said rasing my vocie.
“ I DID NOT CHOOSE THIS! I did not choose for my baby to be taken away from me and I sure in **** didn't choose for you to leave me out here by myself,” she said stomping around and waving her hands.
There was no reasoning with Tiffany. She was so far gone that I'd be lucky if I'd find a glimpse of what attracted me to her in the beginning.
“ You left us Tiffany,” I said wondering if she actually remembered. I sure did. I remembered the exact feeling of being left completely alone with a newborn. I was afriad, hurt and I never wanted to feel that way again.
She was quiet for a second but I really wanted to hear what she was going say. I WANTED her to blame the whole thing on me and I WANTED her to hate me as much as I tried to hate her.
...but she wouldn't even give me that
“ ... Don't you think I know that?” she said as her tears overwhelmed every word.
I quickly thought of Lana, her love, her support and everything she ever gave me. I measured it in my mind and everything Tiffany was never equalled a portion of her.
We both stood in the silence for so long. I used to reherse what I'd say to her when I had the chance but now that the chance was here I couldn't say a word.
“ Is she happy?” she finally said in a gentle voice.
“ Yea, Lizzie is very happy,” I smiled remembering that she did give me one good thing in my life.
“ ... Okay. ,” she nodded slowly.
She turned to walk away and I couldn't just let her go like that. She was apart of someone I loved so much and for only that reason I wanted to protect her.
“ You need a drive somewhere, Niko can call you a cab?” I said looking at my feet.
“ Well... I'm not really going anywhere. I'll try to catch some of the girls,” she smiled sadly.
I nodded like I understood then she turned and walked away.
“ Hey Tiffany!? Get some help, if you need money or food ... just call?” I added trying to say anything to protect her.
“ Your a sweet guy Peyton and she must be one hell of a girl. (pause) I guess it kinda hurts that you never loved enough to try and save me. If she ever runs .... promise me you'll chase her,” She smiled.
I nodded. That really was a promise I knew I could keep.
Soon she was gone and I had a feeling I would never see her again.
I was craving for Lana, since I knew she was the only one who could make my hurtful feelings go away.
SPECIAL TASK
We decided to keep the american tradition, something old... because it is a big part of who we both are.
Something Old
My 'something old' was pretty simple pick.
It is the shoes my mother wore on her wedding day. The feeling I get is close to being undescribable. I feel that by wearing them it brings me feel closer to her; almost as if she is carrying me.
The detail is so brillant and for such a long time I wouldn't touch them. I was so afraid that would break.
Somehow I got the courage and when I first tried them on, they fit like Cinderella's and I did feel like a princess.
I cried tears of joy for an hour after that.
Something New
The wedding dress that I would wear was mine and all mine. The fabric caressed my skin softly and the pearls gave off the glow of a newlywed. It was made and fitted just for me in hopes of never giving it up.
Although Peyton complains about "how can someone spend several hundred on a dress you'll only wear once", I wanted to look my best for my husband and he'll understand why I paid so much when he sees me in it!
Something Borrowed
The veil I borrowed from a friend.
I respect her marriage so much that I can only wish this cloth will bless me with her luck.
I can picture myself fifty years from now sitting on a porch watching our grandchild play, not that I'm rushing! However I'm not fearing my golden years.
Something Blue
I know I haven't really talked much about my heritage but trust me this ceremony will be full of it.
The 'something blue' is the lei. It represents my background and my history. The feeling I get just from wearing it is one I'm very proud of.
Gift from parents
I lost my parents when I was a teenager and Peytons parents abandoned him when he was a little baby so signature moments like this can be a little hard.
However Peyton has amazing grandparents who love him just like two parents.
The weekend of Peytons Bachelor party his parents asked us over for dinner and of course we attended. It was a little werid because for as long as I knew the Orbins, the Orbins were together in numbers. They always were in a pack of 4 or 5 and just his grandparents there made me a little suspious. Well after dinner I had every right to be suspious!
" ... We have something to show you too," smiled Gram with a serious look on her face.
I shot a look at Peyton. I was just hoping they weren't going to give us the 'wedding night speech' parents as supposed to give their childern.
However we followed them in silence. I could tell Peyton was just as clueless as we were.
The four of us made our way into the den and as soon as I got there my eyes fell upon a beautiful anitique set.
Peyton gasped before his grandparents even spoke.
" NO!" he said shaking his head.
" Peyton honey sit down," smiled his grandma.
Still shaking his head he replied, " Nann, you know we can't except that!"
" Peyton sit DOWN," said his grandfather with a stern look.
He turned to me and smiled politly.
Once we were all sitting Peytons grandparents begun.
" Lana and Peyton. We love you two to death and since you know we don't have a lot of money, we still want to give you something special for the wedding," Mrs. Orbin said.
" We've been holding onto this set for sometime now and we really want you to have it," smiled Mr. Orbin.
" It's not much we know, but it's something! I'm sure you can get a bit of change for it," said Mrs. Orbin looking at the set.
" Granddad, We have everything we need," sighed Peyton.
" I know, I know Peyton but we love you kids," he smiled.
" and we love you," I smiled looking at Mrs Orbin.
" So you'll take it," she said with bright eyes.
I could tell Peyton didn't want to take anything from his grandparents but I could really see how much they wanted us to have it.
" Yes, Thank you so much Gram. We'll keep it forever," I said hugging her.
Eventually Peyton softened up and thanked his grandparents sincerely.
I guess he figures that he's been taking from them since the day he was born but thats definitly not the case.
The location we picked was Maui Beach. It's such a beautiful place that overlooks the ocean.
The water is clear blue and the sand is as soft as pillows.
No venue could capture Hawaiis' beauty like it's beaches.
My limo arrived at the beach around 4:00 and I was soon swept away, out of Peytons sight.
We haven't talked or seen each other since last night and as the day dragged on I was getting more and more anxious to marry him.
It's unreal that not too long ago I was single and today I'll be getting married to the love of my life.
Fran and the girls caught me day dreaming and giggling to myself a couple hundred times and called the photographer over.
I guess I'm the true definition of a blushing bride.
It could be worst! Better laughing then crying. I'd rather Peyton see me pretty giggler over a wet mess.
Ceremony
The ceremony began with two Kahili bearers escorting me to the shore.
My eyes were fixated on Peyton who was wearing a long green Lei.
He looked incredibly handsome.
With every step I took it was like it was one step closer to him offically being mine.
When I arrived at the beach I could tell he was holding back his tears.
Seeing him like that was starting to make me cry so I reached out and squeezed his hand.
He smiled and we both laughed.
Niether one of us said a word but I could tell there was so much we wanted to say.
A native blew a conch shell to summon the Gods while me and Peyton stood by and watched.
Following that Hula dancers came and performed for us.
The way they danced was like magic and it was so moving.
Their hips swung in tune with the music and all of our guests were in a trance.
Don't get me wrong, I can hula dance and everything but these dancers were taking it to another level.
After they finished, the 'vow' portion of the ceremony begun. This was the most nerve-wracking exprience of my life.
We've written our own vows and I must have rehersed them a million times but I was afraid I would get too choaked up.
" Lana Kelii, you are my world and my sunshine." Peyton began.
" I've never knew what love felt like until you opened my heart and touched my soul.
People always wondering how I got so lucky but lucky isn't really the word.
It's more like miracle.
From this moment on I will promise to love you unconditionally with every inch of my heart.
I promise to be by your side through the rain, the thunder and the lightening.
I will always put our family first before my work and my play.
I will never consider being with anyone else because I have all I need with you.
...
I trully can't picture myself growing wrinkly and saggy with anyone else in this entire universe.
So I'd be more than honored .... to be Mr. Peyton Kelii." he finished with a smile.
" Peyton you are my giggle, my laugh and my imagination.
Before I met you I was just 2 dimensional.
I was happy but by meeting you I found out that happy just wasn't enough.
I had to find someone who would make me happy and share my happiness with.
I sure found that in you.
In your every smile, joke, word and expression ... I've found happiness in it.
I promise to hold your hand through it all. The tough times, the rough times and of course the good times.
I will be yours forever and only yours.
So I'd more than honored .... for you to be Mr. Peyton Kelii," I finished with a bright smile.
The priest stepped in and said slowly, "You may kiss the bride"
He did and we were finally one.
~
Our wedding guest/party consisted of Fran, Robert, Lizzie, Brat, Grandma, Pops, Aunt Maye, Peyton cousins and his bestfriend made a surprise stop!!
It was a small wedding but the people the closest to us got to share our happiness moment.
Thats what really counts!
Wedding Photos
I'm pretty happy with the wedding photos.
They flatter both of us.
Reception
A close second to the ceremony would have to be the reception.
We all got changed out of our formal wear and dressed in true hawaii style.
Hula Skirts!
We didn't waste anytime and cut the cake only a half hour after it begun.
We wanted to get it cut before the sun set.
Well it was no surprise to me that the cake was wonderful! Me and Peyton picked the right choice.
However I could be eatting a cupcake right now and I would still think it's the best thing since slice bread.
After the sun set we got our first dance as Husband and Wife.
The dance was extra special by moon light and the green glow of the palm trees looks extra special on our skin.
About half way through other couples joined us.
This was the perfect wedding with the perfect ending.
