Christine and Daniel

Yesterday was perhaps the 2nd happiest day of my life, witnessing two beautiful and special friends come together to proclaim their love for each other. Christine was BEAUTIFUL!!! She seriously took my breath away and I can only imagine how Daniel felt...Daniel and Christine are both one of my closest friends, so it was that much more special. The whole day, my heart was exploding with so much joy and I wanted to scream and jump (and I did). I can't wait til my other friends get married. ;)

Some pictures from their slideshow prep:

High school. Like the best man said, Daniel was THE man at Cerritos High, even with wearing his Medevial jacket everyday. Nonetheless, he was the most loyal, caring, generous friend~I remember when we used to talk about how it'll be like to get married one day. I always knew Daniel would marry someone like Christine. :)

the trio days. The 3 of us starting hanging out as the 3 singles who never seemed to find anyone. I left the group first, then Daniel, then Euri (finally haha!)

Then,  I met Christine in college. I thought Daniel was caring and generous...but Christine was a whole different level. I NEVER met anyone who was as selfless and caring as Christine was.

It was only fair that the 2 most caring, generous people should get together. This was actually taken on the first dinner. You can tell this was even before this relationship started by how they're walking far apart from each other. I have this pattern of taking pictures of a couple from their behind on their first "date" and have them meant to be!

First off, CONGRATS to my best friend, Stella, and her now fiance, Jeff. Yay to the future Stella Hyun-Na Hyun!

I am soo happy for you guys!! I had dreams about how it all went down in Japan all night! I already started planning your wedding months before. ;)

Our canoe breakfast

ATV Tours (one of my favorite activities in Moorea)

Sam let me drive. Why is he clutching the atv so tightly?

I got to lead our team...Sam looking nervous w/ his flimsy thumbs up..

We saw a pig! My fave! (Sam refused to eat bacon after seeing the "dirty pig")

we stopped by a river

at Belvedere Point...Our guide told us, "I'll take you to somewhere more beautiful than this." I whispered, "Yea right."

woman-praying shaped mountain

the ride got kinda crazy...look how steep that hill is! 

I couldn't handle the crazy dirt road

in the boonies

on our way to the top

our guide was right. we went to the highest point on the mountain and was able to see ALL of Moorea. pictures will never really show its true beauty.

 Jet Ski

Sam let me drive again. What a nice (and brave) husband. Jet skiing at Moorea is so cool because there's ABsolutely NO one else jet skiing. Only in Moorea can you speed up to 80km/hr freely on the open waters by the overwater bungalows.

parking our jet ski near our bungalow

Massage

I convinced Sam to get a massage after much pestering. Afterwards, Sam tried to convince ME to get another one.

they served refreshing tea and minty cloth in our own massage room/patio

the unbelievable view from our balconey...thank goodness for self-timer cameras

Sam's work of art

Dinner at Allo's Pizza

with our buddies! Allo's Pizza picked us up and we sat in the back of the pick-up truck...Sharing some laughs and staring at the stars in the pick up truck=awesome. I love feeling like I live in the place I travel to~

I wish they let us ride in the back of pick-up trucks in California~ Sam left his TEAM CINDY shirt at home.

We ate here twice (thanks Rebecca and Andrew!). The second time, they let us in and play w/ the brick oven
