A Maui Wedding Where East Meets West

A lot of couples from different cultures have discovered Maui as the perfect place to get married simply based upon logistics. It is not so far for parents to come from either the East or the West.
We’ve had many couples come to us where the groom was from the mainland and the bride was from Japan or the Philippines or Tawain. In fact, just yesterday we performed such a wedding. While the bride and groom meet in college in Ohio, their families come from different sides of the globe.

We always like to ask how couples met. As it turns out Stephen immediately noticed Yu Chin in his statistics class. When it was time to break up into small groups, he made certain that the attractive girl from China was in his group. Because Stephen is not the mathmatician that Yu Chin is, he asked her for a little tutoring. He enjoyed the times she spent tutoring him on the subject, and the rest -- as they say -- is history.

The couple will be making their home in Ohio.

A Maui wedding was the perfect location for this east meets west union. Half of the guests came from Taiwan and the other half came from Ohio. Interestingly, both groups had 10 hour flights. Maui just seems to be the melting pot for the Pacific. Maui is a great place for couples from different cultures because there is such a diversity of cultures and races here on the island.

Maui definitely is the perfect destination for a wedding like this.
