Aloha Leah!

We wanted to thank you so much for helping arrange our Hawaiian wedding. Working with you in the months before our "big day" was lots of fun, and you totally put me at ease as we sorted out all the details. We felt so surrounded by love that day, not only with our family’s presence, but because of your attention, too.

Sometimes people we welcome into our lives are merely spectators, especially when you know they have many other weddings being planned at the same time as ours. You definitely became more that a spectator in our lives! We can't thank you enough for going that extra mile to make our wedding, and then our reception perfect. I really didn't expect you to shed blood for us! I do hope your finger is better now!!

I also don't know exactly what you did to hold the rains off until the next day, much less the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that welcomed us on our first morning as husband and wife! It certainly was a memorable time on Maui, many thanks to your effort to make October 14th very special. I nearly cried when we left Maui for our honeymoon on Big Island and realized I had to leave my GORGEOUS orchid bouquet behind!

Our honeymoon week on the Big Island was amazing, and I have decided that there really isn't a place anywhere on the islands of Hawaii not filled with Aloha, that sweet, genuine love for life and each other. Even the green sea turtles seem perfectly content with anyone swimming in their coves!

Todd and I are home in Alaska now, there is a foot of snow on the ground and negative temperatures, but the memories of that balmy evening at the Sunset Beach House still keep us warm.

Mahalo nui loa,
Leah and Todd Eskelin
