Aloha!
On Thursday, October 27th, 2005, exactly five years from the evening of their first kiss, Mark and Cathy tied the knot on the beautiful North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
So many of our friends and family came from so far away, we were simply blown away.
This update to the wedding site is just a tad overdue (only five months), so my apologies to those who've been checking this space regularly for photos (now please stop emailing me!)
The island was great, the location beautiful, the party a blast and everyone so generous. We hope you enjoy looking at these photos just a fraction of how much we enjoyed being in them...

After more than five years together, I've learned that Cathy is an expert at everything.
Here she politely walks me through the complicated task of operating a cake knife
