Who doesn’t enjoy a good love story?  Here is Mary’s version of her true love with none other then her groom, Kainapau.

Kainapau and I met through casual friends surfing. We became best friends and I never thought we would end up together or even be getting married…. after a year or so of friendship my feelings grew and one day I realized I was in love with Kai! I guess you can say I was a little aggressive and definitely pursued Kainapau. We started dating September of 2009 and my life has been nothing but smiles.  We went to Switzerland for a few weeks to visit a girl I went to school with and it was an amazing trip! We snowboarded, drank wine and ate lots of cheese. Towards the end of the trip; after a long day on the slopes Kainapau asked me to come out and look at the view. We were staying in a swiss chalet that had a panoramic view of the swiss Alps and there was snow everywhere. I followed him out and we were holding each other saying how beautiful it was.  A few minutes later he stepped away from me and started acting strange then he said “You know I love you right? And one day I want to have little bambinos with you…” I started laughing and then he reached in his pocket and said “Mary one day will you marry me?” I was in complete shock! And then he had a ring on my wedding finger before I knew it! I started fumbling around saying “what? What?” and then I said “YES! YES! And now… I’m marrying my best friend 1f642 and I’m so HAPPY!
