Years In The Making – Grace & Joseph’s Maui Beach Wedding

Some love stories move fast—whirlwinds of romance and spontaneity. But Grace and Joseph? Theirs is a slow burn. A steady, thoughtful kind of love that has spanned over a decade, grown through every season of life, and finally brought them to a sunlit stretch of sand on DT Fleming Beach in Maui for a wedding that was nothing short of magical.

Grace, a powerhouse Retail Store Manager for the past ten years, met Joseph back in 2009 when they were both working at the same mall in Hayward, California. By early 2010, they knew—like really knew—that they were each other’s person. But they were also practical. In their early twenties, they weren’t in a rush. Life was unfolding. College needed finishing. Careers needed building. So, they held off—but never let go…

A Lifetime Ahead

In 2012, Joseph proposed in the sweetest, most understated way possible—at home in Monterey, in a space already filled with love and shared memories. And over the years that followed, they continued to support each other through everything: Grace’s incredible career longevity, and Joseph’s rise in the tech world, working for the likes of Apple, Tesla, and Google. No biggie! Joseph is driven, hopeful, and ready to bring his experience to a new chapter with the love of his life by his side.

So when it came time to finally say “I do,” there was only one place that felt right: Hawaii. The islands were a favorite destination for each of them before they met—so it felt serendipitous that Hawaii would now become the place they started their forever, together.

Their wedding at DT Fleming Beach was effortlessly stunning. The setting? Absolutely breathtaking. Soft sand stretching toward the turquoise Pacific, gentle waves humming in the background, and the golden light that Maui seems to save for its most romantic moments. It wasn’t about grandeur. It was about meaning. About the years they’d already shared, and the promises they were now ready to make in front of the sea.

Grace looked radiant—calm, confident, and glowing with happiness. Joseph stood beside her with the look of someone who’s just found his peace, his purpose, and the love of his life—all in one.

It was simple. It was heartfelt. And it was so them.

They exchanged vows surrounded by Maui’s quiet beauty, with nature as their witness and years of memories behind every word. It was a day that didn’t just celebrate a love story, it honored every chapter that came before it.

Congratulations, Grace and Joseph. Your Maui beach wedding was the perfect tribute to your journey: patient, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable.
