Featuring Freddie & Shalisha
Makena Cove, Maui
April 29th
“Overall, our special day in Maui was perfect. It was a celebration filled with love, beauty, and unforgettable moments, exactly as we had dreamt to be. Maui will always hold a special place in our hearts.”
Freddie and Shalisa met on a blind date in 2009, while he was a college freshman and she was a high school senior. Their relationship grew as they took community college courses before transferring to the University of North Texas, where Freddie graduated in 2018 with a degree in advertising and Shalisa in 2020 with a degree in fashion design. Coming from small families, they prioritized education to build a life together, and they currently live in Princeton, TX, with their two spoiled wiener dogs, Duncan and Demi.
“When you meet your soulmate, everything just becomes easy, and honestly, from the moment we met, it was smooth sailing. We had a slow progression from friends and then it developed into romance.” Freddie
“Our wedding ceremony in Maui was truly special for so many reasons. We’ve always loved to travel and were captivated by the natural beauty of Hawaii. After seeing countless breathtaking photos and videos of Maui, we knew it was the perfect place for us to elope. Affordable Barefoot Maui Weddings offered us exactly what we were looking for. They organized a beautiful ceremony at Makena Cove Beach, making our dream wedding come to life. Everything about the day felt incredibly special, from the intimate setting to the serene sound of the waves. We were surrounded by stunning scenery, and the whole experience was beyond what we had imagined.”
“One of our favorite parts was the team that made our day unforgettable. Our officiant Shane, photographers, and harpist were all amazing, adding personal touches that made the ceremony uniquely ours. The wedding package was affordable, and the entire cost was just a fraction of what we would have spent on a venue in Texas. We received such a beautiful wedding video that still brings us to tears every time we watch it back and we shared this with friends and family so they could witness our special day.”
“ Overall, our special day in Maui was perfect. It was a celebration filled with love, beauty, and unforgettable moments, exactly as we had dreamt to be. Maui will always hold a special place in our hearts. We would love to live on the island one day.”
