We wrote our own vows. We literally wrote them a few days before the wedding. <span class=\"il\">Michael<\/span> was adamant about writing them separately but ended up coming up with a guideline we would both follow. Then the memorial. It was a great way to honor my grandparents. It was very emotional for me and my whole family. We lost them a little over a year ago in a 3 month span. But we honored all those who were looking down on us with leis and plumerias into the ocean.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570529\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/ee\/ec\/eeec80b049d69872.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-003-3\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570528\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/53\/90\/53901dfeaab5e381.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-003-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570534\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/23\/8a\/238a8bdfeea153cd.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-007-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570535\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/48\/8c\/488c623df4441487.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-008\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570536\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a2\/90\/a2909f2c2121079c.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-010\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570533\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/80\/65\/806567f443acea18.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-007\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570538\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/98\/61\/986154c2307d4660.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-014\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570522\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a4\/23\/a4232725340f5e48.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570543\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/02\/0e\/020e84501c97ce82.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-24\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570544\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/a8\/2c\/a82cc5e4fd4d96f3.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-33\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570548\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/10\/ae\/10aed52b4ec4dfbd.jpg\" alt=\"shave ice-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570549\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/d9\/f8\/d9f801714078983b.jpg\" alt=\"shave ice-5\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/details-61.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570551\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/aa\/97\/aa971eb563697ede.jpg\" alt=\"details-61\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570550\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/84\/5a\/845a7723593932f1.jpg\" alt=\"details-62\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570526\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/26\/44\/2644e3d1bde16963.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-570525\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/6f\/93\/6f93abf00311fccb.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful-Vintage-Hawaiian-Wedding-at-Olowalu-Plantation-House-Wendy-Laurel-Photography-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"797\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"goldbox\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The Wedding Team:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photography &ndash;
