The Reception

The wedding reception included a full buffet dinner full of traditional Hawaiian food, amazing ambiance, good friends, family, and lots of dancing. It was a perfect Hawaiian wedding! So glad Tom chose to marry a Hawaiian girl! :)

Traditional Hawaiian foods were available in the buffet, including rice, chicken & noodles, BBQ'd shredded pork, beef stew, pineapple, salad, & poi. I was so glad I went through the buffet line with someone who could tell me what each dish was. Everything I put on my plate was delicious. Maybe you noticed that I don't have any seafood on my plate. There were seafood dishes available in the buffet too, but I didn't partake...

Paradise!

Then there was dancing. I don't dance. I truly have no idea where Karlee gets her dancing desire & skill, because I have none. The only reason I was even on the dance floor is because the dances were designated...

Daddys & Daughters

Kanoe & her Daddy

David grabbed Alejandra for the Daddy & Daughter dance. Even though David doesn't have any daughters, he dearly loves both of his beautiful daughter-n-laws. His sons have been very smart in their choices of spouses! They are both some of the most beautiful & intelligent women I know.

Because Jeff was taking photos, David grabbed our Gway (Jeff's mama) & danced with her. (Thank you, David, for being so thoughtful & looking out for our Gway!)

Couples

Remember that I don't dance? Thank goodness this pic doesn't show how awkward I am on the dance floor. Although, it does help to be in Jeff's arms! He always makes me look better!

Gway & Pa. Awww, don't they look so dang cute on the dance floor!?!

This is a very amazing picture because all of my siblings are dancing. Dunno if that's ever happened before! Cindy & David, B & Brad, Jon & Valerie, & Me & Jeff.

Karlee & David dancing. David always mentions how beautiful he thinks Karlee is. And she is absolutely gorgeous if you ask me!

While Eric & Alejandra had both Karlee & Garet dancing, Cindy came up and grabbed Garet to dance. It was so fun to watch everyone having a blast.
