I Now Pronounce You Kane and Wahine

A couple of months ago, I was complaining to Tim that we don't have any more weddings to go to. It seems we've finally reached that age where all our friends and relatives who would potentially get married already are. The last one I went to was in 2004 when my cousin Marc married Michelle. But then we were pleasantly surprised when a couple of weeks later, we got the invitation to Ray and Brena's wedding.

The wedding was held at a private residence in Riverside, California. The theme: Hawaiian. Both Ray and Brena have family history in Hawaii. It's also their honeymoon destination.

We've known Ray for quite a few years, dating back to Tim's days in Club Pavo (a sort of party circle that would get together for shindigs every now and then). We got to know Ray even better when a group of 11 of us signed up for an Alaskan cruise together. On this cruise, we kept hearing Ray talk about this woman he had just recently met. We thought he was making her up until a couple of months later when we finally met her in person at Dana & Eric's luau — and she was hella cool too!

Everyone had a great time and we wish Ray and Brena much happiness and success in marriage.
