Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Pope......


It's official - we did it! This past Saturday, September 30th turned out to be a fabulous day. Robert (Kenui) and I (Makalani) arrived at the courthouse by 11:30am and by 11:40am Judge Jennifer Frey officially prounounced us husband and wife. It was such a beautiful moment as I looked into Kenui's eyes and professed my love for the man I will spend the rest of my life with.

Our weekend started on Friday with the arrival of our beautiful leis direct from Hawaii, a gift from Kenui's sister Kawehi and her family. The evening continued with dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants, Willie Rae's, then on to Crystal's on the Marietta Square to see Larry Griffith perform with Sal, Jack and Charlie Wooten.

After our ceremony we went to our favorite studio, Portrait Innovations, to capture our memories. You can see here what a fabulous job they do. (And as I mentioned in a previous post - they are very reasonable!)

Our friends Bobby and Cheryl hosted a wonderful dinner for us and some of our close friends in their home. A champagne toast, served in engraved flutes from Bobby and Cheryl started the evening off, followed by fabulous appetizers and dinner. Julie painted an beautiful original for our new home.

Anytime the guys, aka Premonition, are together, they can't resist playing a few tunes and this day was no exception.

Next on the agenda, we went with Bobby & Cheryl and Ryan to Crystal's on the Square to see another of our favorite bands, Totally Savage. And of course, the evening ended with the obligatory Indian picture!



Our suite at the Hyatt was gorgeous. Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries courtesy of the GM Peter made it even more special.



To top the weekend off, we went to the Jazz Brunch at the Renaissance Waverly. Great music, wonderful food and the man of my dreams - who could ask for more?



Thank you to all who helped to make our day special.
