Marne and John in Mauna Kea Beach, HI

A California couple weds in blissful Hawaii

John and Marne, wearing an ivory Vera Wang wedding dress with lace flowers, take in the stunning view. Marne's antique veil, which belonged to her great-grandmother, has been worn by many of the women in her family on their wedding days.

Marne and John of California didn't just throw a wedding—they staged a five-day, action-packed Hawaiian affair meant to make their 150 guests feel as entertained and celebrated as possible. The pre-wedding events included a round-robin tennis tournament, a luau, a golf outing, a barbecue, a whale-watching trip that doubled as a bridal luncheon, and a rehearsal dinner.

When their wedding day finally arrived, the couple exchanged vows in a romantic ceremony on the grounds of Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, followed by a vibrant, Morocco-inspired outdoor reception.
