My parents hosted a Welcome BBQ at the Kihei Kai Nani Pavillion. We had everyone bring their own plates/utensils. My parents best friends did sirloin on the BBQ, potatoes, salads and tons of pina coladas. It was delicious! It was a great way to get everyone together before the wedding.

Tips for the Big Day
- Have your dress hemmed to whatever shoes you're going to wear the most at your wedding. I made the mistake of hemming my dress to my heels. However, I didn't wear the heels long enough to make it down the aisle, so I was stepping on my dress a bit.
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- Remember that something will go wrong, and when it does it isn't the end of the world. No one will notice but you.
- Spend some time with your FI. Russ and I snuck away and went swimming by ourselves before.
- Try to take in every moment. Everyone told me it would fly by and it did!
- Don't worry about the little details. No one notices but you, and other knotties.
