Dear Friends & Family,
The waiting is finally over, and it’s only taken us 7 years to get to this point! Welcome to sun, sand and relaxation…Welcome to MAUI! We are both so happy and excited to be able to have you here at our wedding. We are especially honored that you have traveled this far to be a part of our marriage celebration. Many years from now, when we look back on our life and this day, we’ll remember that being surrounded by the friends and family we hold so dearly was the perfect beginning to our life as husband and wife. Each of you is providing us with special memories that we shall treasure forever. We hope you enjoy this welcome bag! It’s just a small token of our appreciation. Included in your bag is some information to help make your trip a wonderful experience, and please enjoy the goodies! Please enjoy your time here, so sit back, relax, and soak in some sun! We hope the next few days will be as memorable for you as they will be for us. Aloha, Amanda & Matt
