We love when couples infuse their wedding with personal touches – it makes the day so much more special. Carolyn and Russ come from extremely different backgrounds – he is of Scottish descent and she is Vietnamese but spent a lot of time in Hawaii. They meshed various aspects of their cultures together to create an intimate and personal celebration. Their officiant was a close friend, a bagpiper led the recessional out of the ceremony and into the reception, the cocktail hour was filled with Hawaiian beverages and music and guests dined on a delicious menu of contemporary Asian cuisine.
