WEDDING STEPPING STONE

When Jeff & I got married at The Royal Lahaina on Maui on August 4, 2000 the hotel created a stone with our names on it to line the path to the gazebo. It was fun to see it 11 years ago and we were excited to be going back to see it again -- 11 years later.

Here was the stone on August 5, 2000 - the day after Jeff & I were married.....

Here we are also 11 years ago (wow, don't we look young???) -- we are standing at the gazebo and you can see all of the stones from people that have gotten married there.....


That's the gazebo and stone path behind us (and a pretty planter area perfect for pictures).....


And here it is today........


We were so disappointed when we got there and this is what we found! They didn't even replace it with anything. We asked why the stones, gazebo and pretty planter area were taken out and no one could give us a reason. They just said that the stones broke when they were pulled out so they all got thrown away. I was really quite sad.......we were telling the kids all about it before we got there and then this is what we got to show them! Oh well, at least we have pictures and memories! :) (I'm still upset about it, though!) :)
