December Post
Save the Dates have been sent and the big day is fast approaching. :). Our plans are shaping up nicely. We hired a wedding planner in Hawaii, Steven Cook of White Orchid Weddings, who has been a lifesaver in getting everything sorted. So thank you Steven!
The church has been confirmed, photographer booked, flowers arranged, musicians hired for the service, and the reception dinner at Huggo's has been reserved. I found my dress in the summer and I am currently awaiting for it to arrive for alterations. Should be next week so very exciting. Andrew has some of his attire....the big debate is a Hawaiian shirt, a regular dress shirt, or a jacket and shirt. He can't decide so I think we will be taking all three options with us so he can decide that day. :)
Our travel plans have been sorted too. We are heading out to the big island prior to the wedding and spending a little time at the Volcano National Park and then driving west to reach Kona. We will have to do some wedding logistics like get our marriage license and meet with the priest but we hope to get in some quality relaxation time. We are planning a couple of snorkeling adventures, a trip to a Kona coffee field, and attending a luau. We decided to stay at the Courtyard King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel for our time in Kona. While in Volcano we are going to stay at the Kilauea Military Camp. We are staying with my parents and sisters in a sweet lodge. So thank you dad for your military service. :)
I am still looking for a hotel for our few day stay in Oahu so will keep everyone posted.
For those not able to join us in Hawaii we have confirmed our Cincinnati reception date. It will be May 10, 2014 at the Christian Moerlein Brewery & Taproom. We are planning a cocktail style reception and will send out more information next year. We hope to see everyone in May!
If you want to attend the ceremony in Hawaii and need more travel information just contact us. We hope to post pictures as we go while there so keep checking back on our site.

July update
We have made some progress. We have reserved Huggo's for the after wedding reception. We planning on Kona Brewing Company for the rehearsal dinner but will not need to reserve that as early as it is not a holiday/weekend. We visited Moerlein Lager House today and have decided to use it for our Cincinnati party/reception in April/May '14. They have a private party hall that we both really liked.
Now lodging and airline tickets will be the next big thing to work on! For the lodging in Kona we are considering King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel among other options.

Links and other preliminary details
I've started to put a list of relevant links in the lower right corner of the page.
The wedding planner recommended Huggo's for the reception dinner. Another potential option for either the reception or rehearsal dinner is Kona Brewing Co. We want a restaurant with a nice casual atmosphere and good food/drink. Those are mainly my criteria. I don't want to serve friends and family Bud Light and a crappy catered chicken dinner and I don't want to subject myself to a stuffy formal atmosphere.
We have also considered a couple options for housing. One is the Royal Kona resort. It is an older resort which has the primary advantage of being centrally located within walking distance of the center of town. The other is potentially renting a house or condo through Vacation Rentals by Owner. This option would have the advantage of allowing a group of friends and family to stay together in one house.
Everything is preliminary so far but we are working on it!
