There – across the Prop 8 Rally stood the most amazing young man… from a distance he was admired, but never introduced.
Two years later at the Pride Guide Arizona kick off party, Jason finally had the opportunity to meet Michael, the man who’d been admiring him years earlier… February 14 marks the start of this beautiful story.
On the cliffs high above the North Shore of Kauai back in 2012, these 2 men sat and admired the magical Pacific Ocean backdrop. When Michael insisted that Jason stand for a moment (so that he could propose properly), Jason’s thoughts of, “OK Bossy…” quickly melted away as he agreed and promised his partnership to Michael on this beautiful path of life.
Sharing in the opportunity to choose their life partner from all others means the world to them. The right to do so and be recognized as each other’s true mate is a legal milestone they both find peace in. This doesn’t mean that the silliness they share together will ever go away – it simply means the rest of the world now recognizes these two fun and exciting gentlemen as Mr and Mr.
A destination wedding is really what Michael and Jason were excited to experience. They’ll be the first to admit that having a wedding planner makes all the difference. Aloha Maui Dream Weddings coordinated and officiated their ceremony with Manutea Nui E performing for their reception at the Baily House.
With the blessing of so many of their friends and family present, they enjoyed an all-day event from ceremony to catered dinner to drinks under the stars. May the blessings of the island basked in Aloha be with them for all their days to come as they share smiles, laughter and milestone accomplishments together.
