Kendra and Lucas got married first thing in the morning at Paliku Gardens, just their closest people around them. High school sweethearts, now husband and wife, before most of us had even had lunch.

They kept it small and simple, and that was the whole point. No big production, just laughing, taking it all in, and actually enjoying the morning they got married in. That is my favorite part of mornings like this.

And the best part of a morning wedding at Kualoa? You are done by midday, married, with the whole day still ahead of you to celebrate.

Congratulations, Kendra and Lucas. We loved being a small part of it.
