Eloping in Maui from New Zealand…

Meet Gaynor and Keri. Culture and tradition mean a lot to this amazing couple. From his traditional Maori Groom’s Sarong to their blessed accessories, they were able to bring a piece of New Zealand to the beaches of Maui.

On their special day in Maui, they celebrated 29 years together! Keri says that Gaynor is a Maori woman with mana of her tupuna.  We asked them for their advice on exactly how to have a lifetime of happiness with the other?  “Hold steadfast to the love we have for one another especially in times of sadness, hurt, and pain.”

Having a native Hawaiian of Maui to marry them helped them to feel the connection to each other and the land during their ceremony. It didn’t hurt to have the most amazing sunset that evening either…

We wish you a lifetime of new adventures and happiness!
