This past weekend was truly an amazing one! Dean surprised me for our first year wedding anniversary... he booked us a junior suite at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa at Ko'olina! The Ihilani Resort and Spa has become a special place for us these past several years because it's where Dean proposed to me in 2007 and where we stayed on our wedding night last year. He planned out everything perfectly to a tee by making massage reservations at the Ihilani Spa at 1 p.m., giving us just enough time to relax before checking into our suite at 3 p.m. Once checked in, we had drinks on the beach before going to our 6:30 p.m. dinner reservations at Roy's. I love how he took the time to plan everything... most guys just don't do that sort of thing. The next morning we ordered room service for breakfast and enjoyed it on our huge balcony overlooking the ocean. We relaxed the rest of the day there before checking out and going to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Waikiki, which was insanely delicious, by the way! Finally, we ended the day by lighting our unity candles in the dining room and had a bite from the top layer of our wedding cake, which had been saved and frozen for tradition. Everything about this weekend was perfectly romantic! Although I had several of my cameras with me, I ended up taking most of the pictures on my phone...
