Wedding - Island Style

After 3 years I got invited to my first student wedding. Sonny from Yap married Elilai from Guam/Palau. Here is Sonny as he watches his bride come down the aisle. His best man is PIBC student, Joel.
Here is what Sonny is looking at....Elilai and her dad.
The happy couple. By the way is Elilai is the Palauan word for the Plummeria flower. These flowers are plentiful on the islands. They are also what her bouquet and Sonny's lei are made of.
I have to say this has to be one of my favorite wedding cakes ever. It was chocolate with a chocolate mousse inside. YUM!!!! Beautiful and Delicious.
Here I am with the couple. Sonny didn't know if his Mom and Dad were going to be able to be here for the wedding originally. I had volunteered to be him Mom for the day if she could not. Fortunately for Sonny, his REAL parents made it. Of course, Sonny is a great guy and a was a great student (our valedictorian), I would have been happy to be him Mom for the day. ;)

God Bless you Sonny and Elilai. If you have facebook I have even more pictures there.
