Day 117 of the Lower Puna Eruption, and I can't seem to find anything in the media.
***********
The last time I went to a wedding was about a decade ago, and, of all the coincidences, I sat next to that couple at a featured table with the family of the bride. A few photos that largely describe themselves:
The groom? Eddie Chiu, who was in our Saturday foursome for a very long time with Carleton and Sharon (who recently won the election to become the State Senator from Waikiki and Kakaako--she still has a general election, but should win by a landslide over the Republican opponent--and served as the Best Woman to Eddie). All three of them ran the Honolulu Marathon, and Eddie was amazing, as he never trained and just showed up to run on those Sundays. And he did that for at least ten marathons. Midori, who is from Tokyo, to the right:
The newly-wed couple met through tango, and they are now competing for national and world championships. Sharen and Gaylen (who was a Republican Hawaii House member) are the ones who got married almost ten years ago. Below, Midori with her father, mother and brother to the right, and peeking nephew, who sat close by me, and the age of 2, is already on an i-Pad.
The Halekulani buffet is always fabulous:
A short program, with a slide show, cake cutting and a lot of dancing, featuring the tango:
Over the weekend, the Honolulu little league team beat South Korea for the world championship, while the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors somehow survived a road trip with a victory over Colorado State. Two near miracles. Add the departure of Lane, who we thought dissipated, but, instead regained strength south and west of Kauai, and could well again become a hurricane. Hurricane Miriam to our east will turn north before reaching Hawaii.
