Marebel and Chris tied the knot on March 12, 2011 at Lanikuhonua, formally uniting what previously existed not as two separate lives, but also, two separate families. Formerly married and both with children of their own, the happy couple created their modern day "Brady Bunch," which started back when Marebel and Chris would literally go the extra mile to spend time together, with Marebel living here in Hawai'i, and Chris over in Seattle.
To symbolize the blending of families and their union, Marebel and Chris chose to incorporate the sand ceremony into their wedding ceremony, with the different colored vessels of sand each representing the bride, groom, and their children. Marebel and Chris poured their vessels of sand simultaneously, forming an inextricable blend of the two as well as the foundation on which the children's sand was then layered. The meaningful gesture created a beautiful memento from their wedding for them to cherish for years to come.
One of the elements I loved about Marebel and Chris' wedding was the beautiful stationery suite designed and created by Marebel's friends/graphic designers, Darling Dumlao and Robert Mangaoang of Paperland Studio. They created all things paper and more for the wedding, from the invitation to coordinating ceremony program fans, guest book sign in sheets, gift card box, labels for the candy buffet, table numbers, reception programs, and even favor boxes.
During our initial meetings, I would be curious about this "Chris," who had captured Marebel's heart, but on one of his visits in Hawai'i, Chris attended a planning meeting, and I could see from his genuine and gentle disposition, how he made the perfect match for Marebel, an equally kind-hearted and caring person. Since the early stages of wedding planning, Chris has moved permanently to Hawaii and the best news yet...the two will soon be proud parents again are expecting a little one!
