Hawaii

Chuck's best friend got married in Hawaii a few weeks ago and were we very blessed to go join them for a week to celebrate their wedding.

Here are some highlights from the trip! (Comments are below each picture!)

Our week away started with a SWANKY suite at the W Downtown Altanta. They upgraded us to the nicest suite in the hotel. Pictures do NOT do this hotel or room justice!

This is what we were surprised to walk into! They did not tell us how amazing our upgrade was!
2nd bedroom
Master bath...every wall was a window!
Nicest & biggest hotel bathroom ever!
Night view!

Then we were off to Hawaii....
At the WELCOME DINNER @ Jared's house in Oahu
Our first morning...this was "our beach" right outside the house!
Sunrise
He asked me to take this picture. Just sayin'.
View from the house overlooking the ocean...
So here is the deal on the house. It used to be Elizabeth Taylors home until several years ago when Kathy Ireland purchased it. We talked to the manager of the house before we left and he said George Clooney and Janet Jackson are among the celebs that rent the place.
Getting some sun :)
Pearl Harbor
Touring the sub
Aloha!
The night of the luau
The Flannagans with the bride and groom!
I love capturing moments like this for people...unfortunately Chuck and I have to pose to get "in the moment" pictures because no one takes them of us!
Sunset.
Rehearsal dinner at the Hilton Hawaiian Village...it was awesome!
Chuck & Jared
Wedding day...we went on a tour around the island that morning...this was at a nature preserve with the most beautiful water!
The mountains...this side of the island is where much of LOST was filmed!
Of course me and my best friend, "food"...and a special moment. I had read about all the shrimp trucks and this one was supposedly the best. Chuck spotted it on the side of the road and I made everyone hop out so I could get some garlic shrimp. BEST. SHRIMP. EVER. woah!
The water on the North Shore is stunning! This was actually taken where the "pipeline" is.
The table for the reception
It was the most beautiful and romantic wedding.
We had to pose!

Darling phots Terri - was vacation hard without your little man? I cannot believe the size of that hotel room, and I LOVED the dress you wore for the rehearsal dinner!
