Laura & David met on Facebook dating. Their first date was at a restaurant called Wolf Creek, and then they went bowling afterwards with David’s friends. It really was love at first sight for Laura & David. They each have four children, two boys and two girls each, and they share six grandchildren with one more grandson on the way in October.
Their 1st year together, they got a French bulldog puppy that they named Jasmine, who is pretty much their baby. In their second year together, they started a nonprofit organization called Blue Skies Ahead. The focus is to connect people in need with people who can help with various situations, such as drug and alcohol abuse, and help with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. David currently works as a tech at a rehab facility, and Laura is a funeral service manager at a Jewish cemetery.
“We contacted Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding just about a year ago to get information. From that moment on we connected and knew that this is what we wanted to do for us. Shane had been in contact with us for an entire year answering lots of questions and making things so clear and easy for us.. We really appreciate all the email correspondence with wedding planner Shauna and having the officiant Shane’s direct contact information and being able to text message him. Whenever we had a question, he would always come up with a quick and simple answer, which was so appreciated.. The minute we got to Maui, we contacted Shane as he instructed us to do and the information that we received from him was very clear and simple.”
“The day of our actual wedding was absolutely amazing. We were concerned about the winds, and Shane quickly put our minds at ease, letting us know that they would die down literally the minute we got there, and they did. The professionalism from Shane and his team was absolutely unbelievable. Everything was set in motion just as he said it would be, with not a worry in the world. The service started on time, and the words that he wrote for David and me were absolutely beautiful. I love the fact that he incorporated God, knowing that we are big believers, and we love the fact that he would look at the camera and acknowledge the presence of our friends and family via Zoom. I would highly recommend that everybody get the whole package with the keepsake video, ukulele, flower leis, and the photographer. I can’t imagine not having all of that. It was absolutely perfect.. I think what was most fun was the photo shoot afterwards. The entire team made us feel comfortable and had fun with the photos, so it made it super easy for us to just go with it. The quality of the photos are absolutely perfect. If I didn’t know any better I would think they were touched up, however we know they weren’t because we got the photos as we were in the parking lot before we even left to come back to our condo! That was awesome! We can’t say enough about the company and the team of people that made our special day even more special and memorable. It was literally the best day of our lives. We truly want to say thank you to everyone for everything they have done for us and continue to do. We could not be happier with the way things turned out.”
