Back from French Polynesia! I traveled to Tahiti for Kime & Ed's wedding on 9.13.08. Kim has been a very good friend of mine for about 15 years, so what an experience to travel to Tahiti to be a part of her and Edward's special day.
Special is an understatement! It was incredible! A cultural experience along with a beautiful representation of their dedication, support and love for each other. It was a truly magical day with the 37 guests who traveled from the United States and the other 40+ native to Tahit guests who attended and participated in the event. The surroundings, with the swaying of palm trees, crystal blue/green waters, sandy beaches and flowers upon flowers upon flowers were gorgeous.
Kim and Ed at their reception. All the tables had tons of tropical floral arrangements in rich colors of reds and oranges with a braided palm leaf archway behind the happy couple. The intricacy of the design was incredible.
The boys at the cocktail reception immediately after the wedding. Wearing traditional Tahitian leis with greenery & small fragrant white flowers.
Grandpa in the process of cooking the boar on the beach at Ed & Kim's Tahitian family reception the following day after the wedding at the hotel. Traditional Tahitian fare & dress set the tone for the event.
Our pool at the Hotel with a swim-up bar. Every hotel needs a swim-up bar.... a must! 
Thanks to Kim & Ed and family for extending a warm welcome to all of us from the United States. It was an unforgettable event!
