OTHER STUFF I WRITE ABOUT

“I think” it’s booking season?

Usually, around this time of the year my phone starts ringing with companies begging me to advertise with them.   I never bite.   They tell me, “It’s booking season!” Is it? I’ve planned over 5000 plus weddings now, and I till this day, I have no idea when booking […]

Beach Weddings in Hawaii are 100% legal!

I just needed to clear the air because there have been some very dishonest wedding planners out there who are telling their clients that beach weddings are illegal, and the only option is to book with an expensive resort, or to book with a private property.  The reason they are […]

PART ONE: My Favorite Places to Eat on Oahu!

Are you foodie?  Well, I’m not sure if I’m a foodie, but I love food.  Great tasting food.  I love “unhealthy food” as well.   I put that in quotes because in this day in age, it seems that every diet out there alienates some type of food or macro-nutrient […]

THE ANATOMY OF A LAST MINUTE HAWAII WEDDING PACKAGE.

Picture this: It’s a quiet Saturday for me in Oahu.  The weather is not great by my house.  It’s storming pretty bad, clouds are draping down the mountain side making the Ko’olau Mountain Range almost invisible.   I click on the TV to see what college football games are on. […]

Hurricane Hilda is gone….

8.12.15 – Hurricane Hilda has been downgraded to a tropical storm and is now headed west of State of Hawaii.  It is also weakening drastically in strength.  Looks like Hawaii dodged another bullet.   We’re not expecting any rain either!     8.8.15  – So Hurricane Guillermo is gone.  Thank […]

Supreme Court Rules 5-4 to allow Same-Sex Marriage, but the discussion is not over:

It was a landmark ruling, not to mention, a very close ruling, but same-sex couples can now legally marry in all 50 States of America.  This is definitely a victory for same-sex couples, but just part of a handful of steps before same-sex marriage gains equal footing to traditional marriage. […]
