Wedding in Paradise


Since we made the move to Samoa we have experienced a lot of difficult emotions but somehow we managed to stick together as a family and made it through to the other side.   One thing I have learned is that you never know what life will bring or take away from one day to the next.   Lucky for us life brought us a little angel named Hariett Mabanta.  We ran off to Samoa to get married at Taufua resort in Lalumanu, Samoa last March.  The wedding was done in a rush but luckily the resort did a great job making arrangements and some of our friends were able to share the day with us, despite being unsure of actual wedding date!  Some photos of the wedding.  Thanks to Frank and Tracy, and Ben and Sarah for taking such nice photos for us.

  1. What a fabulous paradise wedding! The location is looking absolutely stunning. I wish I would also have such a beautiful ceremony. Have also booked beachside Los Angeles wedding venues for our destination ceremony. It will also be a small wedding. Hoping to have a good time.
