CONGRATULATIONS Rae & Reuben Kim! - Central Union Church & Hale Koa Fort DeRussy Hall

Two days prior to the BIG day, Rae & Reuben along with their immediate family and wedding party held their ceremony rehearsal at Central Union Church in the Main Sanctuary.  Wedding Director, Mrs. Susan Robinson ran a smooth and efficient rehearsal.

On the day of the wedding, Saturday, January 30, 2010 the Bridal party woke up before the sunrise to receive Hair & Make up Services from Naturally You Hair & Make up by Vicky and CJ.

078

Always punctual, always cheery, and always fashionable…CJ did a wonderful job on all the girls including the bride’s mom, groom’s mom and aunty totaling to…10 LADIES!!!  Thanks CJ!  (Here’s something extra: CJ speaks Korean!  It really helped when she was asking the Groom’s mom and aunty specific questions about their hair & make up)  You’re soooo AWESOME CJ!!!

080

A Perfect Day Staff, Antionette Uriarte was the “first person in” to help the wedding party get ready in the morning.

083

Antoinette had her sewing machine in tow to fix a bridesmaid’s dress that was way too big!  Luckily, Antoinette was a fashion designer!  She fixed that dress to fit the bridesmaid perfectly!  Thanks Antoinette!

085

Rae & Reuben hired Su-V Expressions to take care of their Wedding Party Floral and Reception Decor.  Sue and staff did a beautiful job in capturing the Bride’s vision and wedding colors in the floral.  THANKS SUE!

087

088

Photographer, Vince Shin of Love Story Weddings captured all the details and emotions of the wedding day.  THANKS VINCE for being so easy to work with and being able to speak Korean!  (Definitely a PLUS when having to communicate and direct Korean speaking family members)

092

A Perfect Day also provides “security” if the Bride & Groom are staying in adjoining rooms and they are NOT to see each other till the “first look” shots by the photographer.  Good job Antoinette!  LOL

094

It’s amazing to what lengths photographers will take to capture that perfect shot of the Bride & Groom.  Here’s Vince…26th floor…overlooking the Pacific Ocean with Diamond Head in the background.  And yes, he is sitting on the railing!  AHHHH!

A Perfect Day Staff, Debbie Magsanay helped with ceremony set up and coordination.  Here she is smiling for the camera as she straightens up in the Pilgrim Chapel.  THANKS DEB for all your help!

108

Head Wedding Director, Mrs. Susan Robinson could be seen all over the grounds of Central Union Church taking care of the many details to ensure a smooth and beautiful wedding ceremony.  She was a delight to work with because of her professionalism and genuine loving spirit.  THANK YOU to Mrs. Robinson for an EXCELLENT wedding ceremony!

120

121

The wedding ceremony and reception site up were happening simultaneously so A Perfect Day had separate staff members at both sites.  Derek Santos can be seen here placing the centerpieces on the guest tables.  Centerpieces, favors, table cards and numbers were done by the Bride, Groom, and their friends.

123

4 tiered cake was provided by the Hale Koa Hotel.  Flowers were done by Florist: Su-V Expressions.
