The PHOTOGRAPHERS

We asked two of our close friends to take pictures at our wedding. They did such a wonderful job. They captured so many kodak moments that we will never forget.
Cristi Hawker Benidict is one of my favorite mission companions. She is so creative and crafty. She and her husband did a fabulous job. Thank you Hawker for taking beautiful pictures.

Jeff Warner took our invitation pictures. He did amazing. Jeff is Julius' close friend from back in the days. He is talented and made our pictures look really good. Thanks Jeff for all you do.

THE DECORATIONS

Our wedding was the most Beautiful I've ever seen... Seriously, the Best! All I wanted was the hall draped and christmas lights, not a lot to work with... But, it turned out Beautiful. It was prettier than I ever imagined it. Special Thanks go out to the Purcell Sisters (Lora, Leti, and Sala) and their husbands and Vince, who climbed the ladder to put the drapes up. If something didn't go the way I wanted it to during the wedding... I got over it quickly because the decorations made me happy. The decorations were off the hook. Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU Purcell family. (I know Bishop and Lave also added their 2 cents.)

Beautiful! (view from the stage)

THE CAKE

25-layer Red Velvet cake
The cake was made by my cousin Nofo Fa'atuga. She flew from California and went straight to the store to get the cake started. She is very talented.. We are so grateful for her sacrifice and hard work to make the cake. Everyone loved the cake. It was beautiful and delicious.

THE RECEPTION

Our reception was extremely packed. We are grateful for all the love and support from our family and friends. We honestly didn't know half the people that came. People just came by information and not invitation. Some of our closest friends didn't come in because there was no space. Not cool at all. We Love all our friends and family who helped us make it this far.

'ALL MY SINGLE LADIES'

The flower girls did two dances and stole the show. My little sister, Rissa, taught them some moves... and the little girls definitely worked it. They were the Best.

This is one of my favorite pictures...

My Little Sisters
Katrina, Esther, and Rissa... I love them!

My Parents

They are the biggest support. We really wouldn't be here without them. They were strict in a loving way. They taught by example. They taught what was right, but let us choose for ourselves. We love them so much.
