No fancy country club wedding for us, just an intimate garden wedding.
No band or DJ, just our iPod playlists.
No filet mignon or chicken dijon on the menu, just some good local kine grinds.
No Food Network Challenge Wedding Cakes, just one of our favorites from King's Hawaiian Bakery - a Paradise Cake with gum paste plumerias.
Our menu included a platter of spam musubi...
Crispy fried wontons...
Fresh Lomi Lomi Salmon...
As well as macaroni salad, ramen cabbage salad, kalbi short ribs, korean barbecue chicken, lahaina fried chicken, kalua pork, vegetable fried rice, white rice and steamed vegetables on the menu.
For all the kids and kids-at-heart, we set up a self-serve candy bar with some of our favorites to put in take away boxes - sour candy twists, runts, skittles, dark chocolates, and butterscotch candies were a few.
And as our matron of honor and best man gave their speeches, we raised our glasses of pink sparking wine. We kissed and knew that it was the beginning of an incredible lifetime of love, laughter, and good eats.

Everything looks delicious!
Congratulations! I love that simple yet tasty and nostalgia-invoking menu (and I haven't even set foot on Hawaii!)
Grindz! I love it.
Sounds so lovely! Congratulations!
Thanks for the well wishes! Yes, the food was delish and day absolutely perfect!
Hey BoLA - Wow, now that's my kind of wedding reception!
Congrats. Huge congrats. Weddings are always all about the food. Seems everyone's getting married this August. I wanted danger dogs at the reception, but so far, am being vetoed.
I love spam musubi...I don't eat it as much since I moved from Hawaii...I miss the Spam & Eggs on the McDonalds breakfast menu.

That cake is sooo gorgeous, I had no hint it would be from Kings, but man I will keep note of that, because that would mean it tastes good too. (I tend to dislike wedding cake taste so much that I do not even want one)
Great food photos! I attend many such elegant backyard wedding events and your caterer was well chosen. My company rents iPod sound systems for weddings and other parties. Includes a microphone for toasts! We are new in LA, but keep us in mind for friends weddings or other parties that need great Do-it-yourself Audio Visual Rentals.
