Jewel and Jamie were married on the beach on Oahu’s east coast at 4pm on December 29, 2008. Their colors were bright pink, yellow, orange and light green: a bamboo archway draped in pink and turquoise, and chairs tied with organza in sea green, bubble gum pink and lavender, finished with Hawaiian fern and small pink and orange roses.
Jewel’s father walked her down an aisle of green orchids and pink hibiscus petals, and then sang a song he had written for his daughter. The minister played ukulele, blessed the rings and the sand, and the couple poured natural and pink sand together. When they kissed, a shower of orchid and rose petals fell around them.
