Julia and Dimitri had originally wanted to visit our islands earlier than February, but a little “surprise” got in their way- so they had to wait 3 months to make sure the baby would make the long trip from Russia to Hawaii! The Bride’s hair and makeup was done at 5:00 a.m. !!! thanks to fabulous Jackie Cavallo who did not mind to wake at 3:30 in order to be at their hotel this early. Julia wore the perfect gown which almost hid her little baby bump and they opted for an early morning ceremony at Makena cove because they were hoping for a beach all to themselves. Laki Kaahumanu and Kaniala Masoe helped to make the ceremony intimate, fun and memorable. We hope to meet their baby soon as they are planning to return to these islands.
