Hawaii seems to be having a moment and so I consider myself beyond lucky that one of my closest and oldest friends recently tied the knot there!

Residents of Oahu, Susan and her wonderful fiancé Craig decided to hop over to Kauai, “The Garden Island”, for their wedding, and what a treat it was:
Beautiful Kauai. Thanks to all my friends for capturing such stunning pictures and sharing them in one of the all-time best photo streams!
I’ve known Susan since the day I was born, and one of the highlights of this epic destination wedding was the high school reunion that came along with it. So many old friends, on the beach and dancing together; What more could I ask for?
Can you believe I’ve known most of these people for over 25 years? A spectacular reunion in Hawaii!
So, how to accessorize for a destination like this? Kauai’s majestic beaches, lush canyons (it’s the rainiest place on Earth!), and deep blue waters provided some inspiration:
