Ten years, two beautiful daughters, and countless shared memories later, Chelsie and Dustin stood hand-in-hand on the golden sands of Po‘olenalena Beach, ready to say “I still do.” Their Maui vow renewal wasn’t just about revisiting their promises, it was about celebrating how far they’ve come and the love that’s only grown stronger with time.
Chelsie made her entrance across the sand, her long dress trailing delicately behind her and her smile brighter than the sun. Maya and Lucy led the way, scattering petals in the sand as the ocean breeze danced around them. All eyes were on Chelsie, radiant and graceful, walking toward the man she’s loved for a decade and the life they’ve built together…
A Family Moment
And then came the most touching moment. As their daughters, Maya (8) and Lucy (4), scattered petals as flower girls, the ceremony became a family affair in every sense. Dustin placed a necklace with their daughters’ birthstones around Chelsie’s neck, a piece designed to celebrate not only their marriage but the family they’ve built. Together, they then placed matching necklaces around their girls’ necks, each one glimmering with love, connection, and the promise of forever.
This special day fell on their exact ten-year anniversary, October 3rd, making it all the more meaningful. Instead of exchanging new wedding bands, they honored their love in a deeply personal way. Their original rings were newly engraved—“C <3 D” inside his, “D <3 C” inside hers, a subtle but powerful reminder that some symbols never fade.
The ocean shimmered in approval as they celebrated as one happy family. Our cameras captured it all, the golden light, the joy, and the way Chelsie and Dustin looked at each other like no time had passed at all.
Vow renewals are more than a celebration; they’re a reaffirmation of everything you’ve weathered together, the challenges, the growth, the grace. And for Chelsie and Dustin, this wasn’t a new beginning; it was a continuation of something beautiful.
Always Yours
After their ceremony ended, our photographer took some romantic portraits just of the two of them. The sky over Po‘olenalena Beach transformed into a masterpiece. The soft pinks melted into gold and lavender hues that shimmered over the ocean. In that dreamy light, Chelsie and Dustin’s portraits were pure magic. Hand in hand, barefoot in the sand, they laughed, kissed, and soaked in the moment as if time itself had slowed down. The sun dipped lower, casting a warm glow that wrapped around them like a golden halo. Every photo captured their connection, the quiet tenderness, the joy of a decade together. It was one of those evenings that felt impossible to recreate but unforgettable to experience.
Congratulations, Chelsie and Dustin. Ten years down, a lifetime to go! Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for this special occasion!
