The bride is gorgeous! I love her hair and and, of course, her tattoos!
ps- This looks like the same location as Sun & Jin's wedding on LOST. It is soo beautiful!
Leslie said
You're right! I totally LOVE Lost. This was a beautiful and serene looking wedding!

It is. It's Valley of the Temples on Oahu. It is a beautiful picturesque Byodo-In (I think). I like the temples back in HNL, there are lots of different ones… if you like that type of thing I would look around a bit, because I bet this one will be very very busy thanks to Lost (I am a fan too).

Temple Valley is always pretty packed, I wonder if they had the ceremony either before or after it's closed to visitors. I love their photos and this location.
