Cultural traditions are so special. It makes a wedding celebration unique. For Charnine and Randy, they blended both traditional and modern elements for their wedding day. The couple had a traditional Catholic Filipino ceremony at St. Augustine Church and their reception on Diamond Head Lawn at Moana Surfrider hotel. The day flowed from traditional to modern,  filled with love and celebration vibes.

Their love story started 13 years ago! Charnine and Randy met through mutual friends at a party, he introduced himself to her, and the rest is history. Randy proposed in November 2019. And, they patiently waited for their time to say I do. February 11, 2022, rain or shine, Charnine and Randy planned to get married! Their timeless tropical chic wedding was SO worth waiting for.

Charnine and Randy’s ceremony was beautiful and intimate. The couple had a traditional Catholic Filipino ceremony, where a handful of family members had a role. Tropical floral arrangements made by J’Adore Couture lined the aisle and the altar. The love for Charnine and Randy was unconditional. Their closest family and friends sat in the pews and witnessed Charnine and Randy saying I do. As they sealed their marriage with their first kiss as husband and wife, everyone rose to their feet and cheered. It was a beautiful romantic ceremony.

The party vibes started on the ride to the reception. The couple rented a trolley to bring their guests to Moana Surfrider and it was such a fun form of transportation! The guests loved it.

Diamond Head Lawn transformed into Charnine and Randy’s timeless tropical chic wedding. The couple had cafe lights hung above their dance floor, a golden circle arch decked with boho themed floral arrangements, and featured their custom “The Estoesta’s” neon sign. Vivid tropical floral arrangements brightened up the guest tables. The couple’s sweetheart hairpin table was decked with lush vivid tropical florals and greenery, and had two rattan peacock chairs. It was the perfect sweetheart tablescape for this sweet couple.

Their grand entrance was epic! Charnine and Randy walked into “Forever” by Chris Brown with cold sparks. DJ Troy did an amazing job hyping up the guests as he announced Charnine and Randy. And, NooB Entertainment did an incredible job with timing out the cold sparks to DJ Troy’s introductions and the lyrics of the song. It was an unforgettable grand entrance.

Our favorite part of Charnine and Randy’s wedding day was the fire knife performance. While Ring of Fire put on an amazing show for the couple and their guests, it was the performance from Randy that was the best part! Randy was brought up to the front, did a shaka for a picture, made a haka face, and then licked the fire from the fire knife! Epic. Unbelievable. Incredible.
