Oceanfront Private Maui Wedding at the Kukahiko Estate

We went to Maui for our Babymoon in January of 2019 to celebrate Andrew’s birthday and take a trip together just the two of us before our son was born in May. We started our trip on Oahu because I had a work meeting there and when we got to Maui, Andrew was eager to snorkel every day and very insistent on me snorkeling too one day when we went to Black Rock Beach. It was more difficult for me because I was pregnant and out of breath quicker so I kept going back to the beach to relax (and eat snacks)! He finally convinced me to go out in the ocean with him again and dove down and said he found a small treasure chest full of gold coins. There was a bag in the chest too that had scratchers so we brought it in to the sand. He said lets scratch off the scratchers, (I said no, lets wait until we get into the room- oops haha!) and he scratched one off and handed me the other one. I started scratching it off and it said, Will you marry me? and when I looked up he was on one knee in front of me with a ring. I was shocked! It was a very elaborate and creative plan that I unintentionally tried hard to ruin but he pulled it off. Some funny backstory is that we had an ultrasound scheduled right before we left and it was a very important one, the anatomy scan, and I was so nervous and Andrew was supposed to meet me there and he was late. I was standing outside the doctor’s office waiting impatiently for him and yelling at him that he couldn’t come in to the appointment because he was late and it turns out, he had been at my parent’s house asking my dad for permission to marry him. My brother was home and recorded the whole thing from down the hall!
