Our Wedding

September&nbsp;25th,&nbsp;2015&nbsp;started&nbsp;out&nbsp;like&nbsp;any&nbsp;other&nbsp;game&nbsp;day,&nbsp;but&nbsp;ended&nbsp;up&nbsp;as&nbsp;so&nbsp;much&nbsp;more!&nbsp;We&nbsp;met&nbsp;at&nbsp;a&nbsp;tailgate&nbsp;and&nbsp;ended&nbsp;up&nbsp;going&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;game&nbsp;together.&nbsp;We&nbsp;talked&nbsp;through most of the game, that night we exchanged numbers. We had our&nbsp;first&nbsp;date&nbsp;a&nbsp;week&nbsp;later&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;Drive&nbsp;Inn,&nbsp;my&nbsp;first&nbsp;time.&nbsp;

Over&nbsp;Thanksgiving&nbsp;weekend&nbsp;we&nbsp;moved&nbsp;in&nbsp;together&nbsp;and&nbsp;never&nbsp;looked&nbsp;back.&nbsp;Since&nbsp;then,&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;on&nbsp;numerous&nbsp;adventures&nbsp;together:&nbsp;An Alaskan cruise,&nbsp;road&nbsp;trips&nbsp;to: Las&nbsp;Vegas,&nbsp;Montana,&nbsp;San&nbsp;Francisco&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tahoe.&nbsp;We&nbsp;flew&nbsp;to&nbsp;Washington&nbsp;DC,&nbsp;New&nbsp;York&nbsp;and&nbsp;Hawaii.&nbsp;We've&nbsp;seen&nbsp;Justin&nbsp;Timberlake,&nbsp;Journey, and&nbsp;Def&nbsp;Leppard live; we watched&nbsp;the&nbsp;Atlanta&nbsp;Braves play&nbsp;the&nbsp;San&nbsp;Francisco&nbsp;Giants&nbsp;and we were able to see&nbsp;Denzel&nbsp;Washington perform&nbsp;on&nbsp;Broadway.&nbsp;





On&nbsp;May&nbsp;29th,&nbsp;2019&nbsp;we&nbsp;went&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;sunset&nbsp;walk&nbsp;along&nbsp;the&nbsp;beach on&nbsp;Maui.&nbsp;Jacob&nbsp;got&nbsp;down&nbsp;on&nbsp;one&nbsp;knee,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;couldn't&nbsp;wait&nbsp;to&nbsp;say&nbsp;YES!&nbsp;We&nbsp;spent the&nbsp;week&nbsp;celebrating&nbsp;our&nbsp;engagement&nbsp;and&nbsp;falling&nbsp;in&nbsp;love&nbsp;with&nbsp;Maui,&nbsp;which&nbsp;now holds&nbsp;a&nbsp;special&nbsp;place&nbsp;in&nbsp;our&nbsp;hearts.&nbsp;





We&nbsp;know this is only the beginning of our story and can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together after we tie the knot&nbsp;on Friday,&nbsp;October&nbsp;22rd,&nbsp;2021!

Registry

This is who we rented with last time. Local, affordable, friendly, and they pick you up from the airport. 

Maui Car Rentals

This is where we found the best deal.
They also have a shuttle to and from the airport. The shuttle service is free for car rentals for 5 days or longer. 

Kehei Rent-A-Car

Hello all! Beginning July 8, 2021, individuals fully vaccinated in the United States or its Territories may enter Hawaii on domestic flights without pre-travel testing/quarantine starting the 15th day after the completion of their vaccination. All other travelers must have their negative test results from a Trusted Testing and Travel Partner(link below) prior to departing as an alternative to Hawaii’s mandatory 10-day quarantine.  

As of writing this, you also need to register and fill out a questionnaire on "Safe Travels" within 24 hours of your flight, which is where you will upload your vaccination card or negative Covid 19 test results.
  
The link below is a good resource and has a step by step guide on how to travel to the Hawaii safely, including what places will count as "Approved" Covid 19 tests by their standards and allow you skip the 10 day quarantine, which they update almost daily and is how we will be tracking this situation moving forward. 
Children 5 and up, that have not received the vaccine, will need to test. 

---> We recommend booking two tests in case the first one comes back as a false positive. If the first comes back negative, you can cancel the second test. To find approved locations for testing, please visit the link below.

Departing from Lahaina Harbor, the Reefdancer tours the only barrier reef in Maui. You’ll have the opportunity to see various kinds of coral as well as reef fish such as the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, Hawaii’s state fish. In addition, there are also light refreshments served on this trip. Our divers will jump in the water and search the bottom for exotic critters they can bring right to your window–a great photo opportunity! Our experienced narrator will help you learn more about the world of Maui’s reef.

They offer 60 and 90 minute tours.
