We're in Hawaii - let the fun begin!
Posted Sunday 7th March 2010
So we are finally in Hawaii and our wedding is less than a week away! Guests, please feel free to contact us when you arrive. Charmayne will be on her Australian mobile (+61 414242767) and Nick will be on his UK mobile (+44 7890543567). We have lots of fun activities planned for the week and we can't wait to see you all!


Order of the Day information
Posted Sunday 21st February 2010
A few of our guests have been asking what will be happening on the big day, so we have added a new page to our site which gives an overview of the Order of the Day.


Thanks for the Hen Parties ladies! Photos are up
Posted Saturday 20th February 2010
A big THANK YOU from Charmayne to all the lovely ladies who attended her Sydney and London Hen Dos. She had such an AMAZING time! Photos are now up from both Dos on the Photo Albums page.


Pick Up Point for the coach to the Luau
Posted Thursday 18th February 2010
We have booked the coach for all our Waikiki based guests for the Welcome Luau at Paradise Cove. Please be at the Trump Tower at 3:30pm for pick up. See the Events page for more information about the Luau.


Pick Up Points for the coach to the Wedding
Posted Sunday 14th February 2010
Happy Valentines Day! Less than a month to go guys! We have determined the 4 pick up points for the coach to take guests staying in Waikiki to the venue on the day of our wedding. Please see the Coach to Venue page for more information.


Dress Code information
Posted Sunday 17th January 2010
We have had a few requests for information on the dress code for our wedding. After giving it some thought, we have put together some information on the Venue page.


We have changed hotels
Posted Saturday 16th January 2010
Originally we had planned on staying at the Halekulani during our time in Oahu for our wedding. But last November the new Trump Waikiki apartment hotel opened and after seeing their rooms, we have booked our accommodation there! It is across the road from the Halekulani so is still in the same general area. Pleae see the Accommodation page for more information.


Things To Do - places to eat
Posted Friday 8th January 2010
Now that we've been to Oahu a couple of times and have eaten around (being the food loving piglets that we are), I have updated the Things to Do page of this site with some of our favourite eating places. Why not try some of them if you're in Oahu for our wedding?


We have booked our flights to Hawaii
Posted Friday 23rd October 2009
We have finally booked our flights to Hawaii (many of our guests beat us to it, we've been slack!). We arrive late in the evening on Sunday 8th March 2010 and we depart on Tuesday 16th March. This will hopefully give us plenty of time to get over the jet lag, finish up last minute things for the wedding, and spend time with our guests. We're getting very excited, not too long to go now!


We have set up our Gift Registry
Posted Sunday 20th September 2009
If you would like to give us a wedding gift, we have registered with an online gift registry company, Wedding Gifts Direct.


Save the Date cards sent & online RSVP is ready to use
Posted Sunday 13th September 2009
Only 6 months to go till our wedding day! We also celebrated 2 happy years together today.
We have sent out our Save the Date cards, which all our guests should have received by now. We will be sending out the official invitations about 4 months before the wedding date (so around November time). However you can RSVP now if you wish.
Our Online RSVP page is now working so you can quickly and easily RSVP.
We are also in the processes of organising a welcome luau for our guests, so when you RSVP please make sure to include the RSVP for the luau as well, please see the Events page for luau details including date and time.


What a successful week in Hawaii - we have a venue!
Posted Sunday 5th April 2009
We've just returned from a hectic, but worthwhile, trip to Hawaii. The past week has been a frenzy of activity where we met our wonderful wedding planner, Christina, in person for the first time, and accomplished so much for our wedding. Christina took us to see venue sites, photographers, florists, stationers, cake bakers, and to tastings with caterers. Everything was so good that every choice we had to make was incredibly hard! After much discussion and agonising, we have picked our photographer, caterer, cake baker and florist, and we have chosen a venue!
The venue we decided on is called Loulu Palm Estate and it is gorgeous. Please see the Ceremony Venue page for all the details.
We have also updated our Photo Albums with pictures from our trip, as well as these pages with up to date and useful info:

Many thanks to Christina for helping us achieve so much in such a short time!
It was also great to see the Woo parents again. They very generously took us out to eat many times and we've definitely come back with our jeans a bit tighter!


Best Man!
Posted Sunday 22nd March 2009
Nick has asked Jon Travaglia to be his best man and Jon has accepted! Jon is an old friend of Nick's from high school and we are delighted he is going to be part of our Bridal Party.


Maid of Honour and Wedding Planner sorted!
Posted Tuesday 10th March 2009
One of Charmayne's bestest friends from Oz, Seema Sandhu, has kindly agreed to be Maid of Honour. You can check her out on our Bridal Party page.
We've also hired a Hawaii based wedding planner, a lovely lady named Christina from a company called Pacific Aisles (great name!), which we're very excited about. Check out their gorgeous website http://www.pacificaisles.com. We'll be meeting up with Christina in Hawaii to hunt for venues, caterers, florists, photographers, cakes etc at the end of this month.
So a couple of major steps accomplished - yay!


Photos from Engagement Party
Posted Saturday 22nd February 2009
We had our Engagement Party last night in London, big thank you to everyone who came, we had a great time! We've added photos from last night to the Photo Albums page. And yes, Charmayne DID make it to pilates at 9am the next morning!


Engagement Party
Posted Saturday 14th February 2009
We have finally organised our engagement party! It will be on Friday 20th February 2009 at 6pm at The O Bar in Soho, London. Please see the Events page for more details and a map of the location.


Our website is up!
Posted Sunday 8th February 2009
Charms designed it and Nick wrote the code for it. Geeks in love, ain't it grand!
The design was inspired by frangipanis, Charms loves frangipanis and they are plentiful in Hawaii so you will see a lot of them at our wedding. The site also features the colour scheme we plan to have on the day. Having said that though, the day is just over a year away so who knows what will happen between now and then!
We are hoping to have our wedding on Saturday 13 March 2010 - 398 sleeps to go. We'll be going to Hawaii in early April to book a venue and find a wedding planner. So hopefully in a couple of months time we will be able to confirm the date.
