Every single Hawaiian wedding service I have looked at has the tackiest and ugliest websites, so ugly that I really don't trust them. Google: "Maui Weddings" and see what you come up with.

We're seriously considering finding a planner in SF who does destinations.

Jeff and I really aren't the "package" type, we want to pick everything from the location to the table linens. Two graphic designers can't stay limited to a package deal.

OK so from my research from the past two days, this is what I have decided that I want:

_ the ceremony & reception on a private estate overlooking the ocean
_ chairs set up for the ceremony with a canopy as an "altar" done right before sunset
_ an outdoor reception banquet-style long tables
_ a wooden dance floor with amplified music
_ string lights, tiki torches, and candles, candles, and candles
_ the bridesmaids don't match dresses, the color doesn't even have to match, as long as its within the same hue
_ I am NOT wearing a lei (hmm maybe, still not sure)
_ I want a violinist or acoustic guitar to play "Everlong" right after they say "You may kiss the bride"
_ we expect to pay the most money for the photographer out of any of the other vendors
_ I want cupcakes instead of a conventional cake, if it has to be conventional then I want a topsy-turvy "Alice in Wonderland" cake
_ I want a chocolate fountain with fresh Hawaiian pinapple

I sound crazy, and that is why I am glad we have this wedding blog instead of me writing (three blogs tonight already) wedding plans in my regular blog.

I got dreams yo... I just got dreams...
