What do you get when you combine a love story over a decade in the making, a beautiful Hawaiian ceremony? You get Savannah and Robert’s unforgettable Big Island venue wedding day at the Royal Kona Resort! With their four-year-old son, Reef, by their side, this day was nothing short of magical.

The ceremony took place at the stunning Nohea Point, adorned with glorious floral decorations that felt like a true tribute to Hawaii’s natural beauty. Savannah looked absolutely breathtaking in her one-of-a-kind gown, while Robert beamed with pride, handsomeness, and sheer happiness. When Robert first saw Savannah walking down the aisle, the look on his face was priceless—a mix of awe, love, and excitement.

Every detail was thoughtfully planned, blending formal elegance with carefree Hawaiian vibes. From the vibrant tropical flowers to the loving presence of friends and family, the entire event was infused with aloha spirit. Savannah and Robert’s smiles never left their faces, radiating pure joy and gratitude throughout the day.

This couple’s journey started 11 years ago when they met at work, built a life together, and became proud parents to their adorable 4-year-old son, Reef. Their wedding wasn’t just about them—it was about celebrating the family they’ve created and the love that’s grown stronger with time.

Elaine and Silvano’s Big Island elopement was truly a celebration of love, laughter, and baseball! These two initially set a rule never to date anyone at work, but love had other plans. After meeting on the job, they shared an instant connection over their favorite sport, baseball, and a mutual love for the San Francisco Giants. Their first date at a Giants game sparked a delightful journey across the country, visiting 17 out of 30 Major League Baseball parks. The ultimate goal? To pitch a perfect game by visiting all 30!

Silvano’s creative proposal at Fenway Park, one of baseball’s most iconic venues, was a grand slam. With Elaine in awe of the historic ballpark, Silvano seized the moment. As they stood atop the Green Monster, he popped the question, leaving Elaine momentarily speechless before she enthusiastically said yes.

Elaine, who immigrated from Malaysia as a toddler and grew up in Northern California, has dedicated her life to nursing. She has a compassionate heart and a love for travel, which she shares with Silvano, a California native and devoted family man. Silvano’s caregiving nature led him to a career helping others, inspired by his experiences caring for family members. So they were overjoyed that their nearest and dearest could be there to celebrate their love!

The Best Day

Their wedding at ʻAnaehoʻomalu Beach was a beautiful fusion of their new journey and the rich Hawaiian culture they adore. Surrounded by friends and family, Elaine and Silvano exchanged vows under a stunning Hawaiian sky, with traditional elements weaving through the ceremony. The happiness radiating from the couple was as vibrant as the island’s famous sunsets, which provided a breathtaking backdrop for their newlywed portraits too!

Elaine and Silvano’s special day was filled with joy, love, and an incredible atmosphere that only Hawaii can provide. Congratulations to the happy couple as they step up to the plate for this new chapter in their lives! May your innings together be filled with love and adventure! Aloha!
