Christmas Surprise – Tammy & Phil’s Maui Beach Wedding

January 4, 2025

BACK

Tammy and Phil’s Maui beach wedding was nothing short of magical, and what made it even more incredible? Tammy surprised Phil with the entire thing! Phil had NO idea about the wedding until Tammy told her on Christmas! How amazing is that?! It was just as perfect as she wanted it to be too. Set against the golden sands and turquoise waters of Polo Beach, their elegant and intimate celebration was a reflection of their love, thoughtful attention to detail, and the beautiful life they’ve built together.

Tammy’s knack for planning shone through in every detail, from the breathtaking floral circle that framed their ceremony to the heartfelt touches woven into the day. Phil’s sister, Julie, officiated the ceremony, adding a deeply personal and meaningful touch, while their son Andrew was honored with a special gift as they officially became a family. It was a celebration filled with warmth, joy, and togetherness—exactly what Tammy and Phil envisioned.

Their love story, which began in 2016 with a perfectly executed matchmaking effort by Tammy’s best friend Jodi, has been a journey of connection, shared adventures, and meaningful milestones. From snorkeling with reef sharks to raising Andrew together, Tammy and Phil’s bond has only grown stronger. Now, as Andrew prepares for college, this wedding is the perfect moment to celebrate their family and the love that brought them here!

Our Biggest Dream

Phil’s proposal to Tammy was the kind of romantic gesture dreams are made of. During a Hawaiian getaway, Phil handed Tammy a photo album filled with memories of their life together. As Tammy flipped through the pages, reminiscing about their adventures, she arrived at the final photo—a picture of a ring. Before she could even ask why it was there, Phil was down on one knee, asking her to spend forever with him. Of course, Tammy said yes!

Fast forward to their recent trip to Maui, and Tammy had a surprise of her own in the works. While Phil thought this was just a family vacation, Tammy had secretly planned an elegant beach wedding at Polo Beach. She went above and beyond to make the day meaningful and unforgettable. The couple exchanged vows in a stunning floral circle, surrounded by love, laughter, and the magic of Maui.

Their joy was contagious, and every photo reflected their deep connection and the happiness of the moment. It was the most beautiful morning and all of their family as there too which was the cherry on top!
