"Ok now its time to get a good laugh "
Here are some of our wedding photos
yes in 1999     "Omg   am i getting old ????"
we were married in the mountain village of West Bali
and yes i was the only white man around for miles miles.

"so much for a tuxedo,
hey im in Bali right.

in this part of the ceremony she takes the rice i offer her

 This photo I'm actually speaking Balinese asking her if she wants some of my whisky "
 yes that's the ironic part of the ceremony because she has never even to this day
 never tasted to her lips any kind of alcohol.
btw:  no one spoke English anywhere ,
"love is the universal language!" Paul

Feeding each other cake after our ceremony,
uhhh no we didn't have a professional photographer
this was back in the day when were living only on dreams.

 A photo of Paul playing the Harp back in the
year 1997
This was taken @ a wedding ceremony
Waimea Falls on the
North shore of Oahu.
 

Newlyweds often ask me how I got into coordinating weddings well its a long story but the basic of what brought me into wedding field was that I always had a love for music and studied composition and theory at the University of Hawaii. I had the privileged to take private Harp lessons from the Honolulu Symphony harpist at UHM. From there i was invited to play the harp at many hotels for weddings and events ,after performing for many years had amazing opportunities to play in Japan at the kings palace in Bali and in Singapore after getting married to Dewi in 1999. You may hear some of my recording on the harp during this time my favorite is a track i put down in 1995 of pachabel's cannon over laid with dolphin sounds and the ocean listen here  some other classical and harp songs Paul recorded is found here under the link samples
