My view on same-sex marriage has changed throughout my life. I attended a Southern Baptist Christian School in Hawaii, which preached “The Sins of Same-Sex Marriage and Same-Sex Relationships.” We were taught as kids that same-sex couples who fell in love with each other were going to hell. I know […]
This was not a last minute wedding if you’re wondering It’s one of the most common questions I get asked during the summer, and I’m not sure why I never addressed this concern through an official article. But at least once per week, sometimes twice a day, a couple […]
I saw two movies this weekend: Mad Max and San Andreas. Both were good, one was better than the other. Here’s my quick review without any spoilers. Mad Max ~ good movie, entertaining movie, not much plot, lots of action, lots of non-stop action. Would I buy Mad Max? No. […]
Meteorologists are predicting a busy hurricane season for the State of Hawaii due a phenomenon called “El Nino.” Just in case you have no idea what El Nino is, it’s when the middle to eastern Pacific ocean gets a little warmer than normal, thus creating the right conditions for hurricanes […]
There’s really not much to say here other than Avengers 2 was a pretty fun movie. It wasn’t as dark as I expected it to be, which I felt was a plus. Marvel Comic lines, at least when it comes to movies, tends to be lighter in feel, with bits […]
The JW Marriott Ihilani is under major renovation. One of my favorite wedding locations located behind the JW Marriott is temporarily closed. The location is known as “Secret Beach” by many wedding companies. I routinely called it “Anianikou” or sometimes “Lanikuhonua” as that’s what it was known by the locals. […]
Chappie can be best described as Johnny-Five 2.0. If you have no idea who Johnny-Five is, he’s the living robot from the infamous movie called Short Circuit. On a side-note, if you have no idea who Johnny-Five is, that means I’m showing my age. There have been many movies […]
A lot of people make the mistake that because I used to be a screenwriter, and because I am very critical of storytelling, that I prefer to see serious “deep thinking” movies. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I love comedies. In fact, I love what many people […]
To me, personally, this is probably the least exciting page on my website, but I had to create it to let everyone know that YES, MY COMPANY DOES PERFORM SAME-SEX WEDDINGS! There are no special packages, discounts, or up-charges for same-sex weddings. Everyone pays the same price here! So […]
There are weddings singers, then there is Maroon 5. Can you imagine having them play at your wedding? And can you imagine them playing for free? Well, for the lucky few, that dream became a reality when the band crashed their wedding to promote their new song, and to […]
Affordable Hawaii Wedding Packages, great photo and video services, easy and fun planning
The State of Hawaii is a signature away from implementing a Climate Change tax. If passed, the hotel tax will be raised to 11%, and most likely this won't be the end - it never is. To make things worse, you're going to add a 4.75% General Excise tax, which literally taxes tax.
It's bullshit - and to all my future wedding couples, I truly apologize for our government.
The money will go towards curbing climate change, which let's face it, Hawaii is so tiny that no matter what we do - it can't curb climate change. Our active volcano contributes more Co2 than tourism. And they always use these funds in all areas of the budget. Climate Change is just an excuse. Our State already raised the GE Tax to pay for our rail, which isn't done. And they took that money to give themselves raises, and to pay for god knows what. The state also paid itself by raiding our Hurricane Fund. They are so corrupt.
Currently, our Governor is suing gas companies for the Lahaina fires, which is more bullshit. The fires were caused by our local government's decision to not manage dry brush. When you drive down all of our roads, you will notice that the government doesn't landscape - anything. We used to. Now they just let it go and use the surplus money to give themself raises, and to give the homeless money to be homeless.
Hawaii is still a beautiful place to visit.
But it's not the best place to live, and you can blame that on stupid people who are in high positions of power.
This state is screwed !! Josh green is an idiot and they keep miss managing everything !! Fail rail proven useless! Bring in doge!! Climate change lol. In Jakarta alone they burn thousands of pounds of Plastic a day just cooking tofu in one village, meanwhile they take away plastic straws and bags in USA ya that helps with what’s happening elsewhere !
Vote accordingly
So sorry to hear that Steve!!
Don't forget the stupid people who vote for these stupid people!
And to the very right, what looks like a flat rock, is our endangered Hawaiian monk Seal.
That's amazing.
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
