Me: Had a great time at Dad and Lola's wedding. She did all the catering and it was THE BEST FOOD I've ever had at a wedding. It was real, island food, and I'm still dying over the memory of that pork. And that lau-lau. Oh, lordy.
I haven't gotten permission yet to post photos of people, so please just believe me when I say that everyone was gorgeous in their Hawaiian garb, and the (cup)cake was amazing:
And Bethany gave me permission to post a couple of her pictures:
I look a wee bit confused, don't I? That's because I was! But so fun, it is SO much fun to play that thing. All in all, an awesome, happy time, and our biggest congrats to the new couple!

Your dad and Lola got married? That's wonderful! Congratulations to all of you, yay for love :-)

What a great picture of you at the accordion! I remember being at my Dad's and his third wife Barbara's wedding. Her son was playing the harp with the exact same expression "What am I doing here and please don't make me do it again?"
Congratuations to all!

Congrats to your dad and Lola, it sounds like a perfectly wonderful time was had by all. The accordion is beautiful, by the way - nice touch that it matches your dress!
