5 B's

Bride on Beach by gimei


Ideally on Hawaii sandy beaches.

Bride, Bikini, Beach, Bouquet, Bells.

1 Groom 3 Brides



Drawings by Kuroda Akimi


I like the neckline of the first wedding dress although it's a bit showy but that's just because anime drawings could be very exaggerated.

I would love to take a pose like Leah above. Her dress is so pretty with the added sparklies in the gown.

    Hints and Must Do's: Walk around and into Diamond Head. It may cost you about $2. entry fee for park maintenance, but the views are worth it and you get to say you "worked out". This moderate hike round-trip from the hotel front door is about two hours....depending on how many roses you stop to smell along the way. Consider the farmers market on the way back to fill up your refrigerator with locally grown fruits. Consider The Bus: an award winning transit system, you could go around the island with several stops along the way at local beaches for an all day tour for under $5 per person! Pack your towel, camera and a small cooler!
