You know that trope in romantic comedies where two people with wildly different hobbies fall madly in love and somehow make it all work? That’s Taylor and Andrew. She rides majestic dressage horses with the kind of poise that would make even a Disney princess feel underdressed. He rolls around (gracefully, we assume) in Jiu-Jitsu classes. Together? They’re the perfect blend of grit, grace, and romance and they tied the knot under dreamy plumeria trees.
Let’s rewind just a bit. Taylor and Andrew met through mutual friends (thank you, universe)! And eventually found themselves engaged on a literal cliff in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. Yes, a cliff. With panoramic views and enough drama to rival any Jane Austen adaptation. Which, frankly, set the bar pretty high for their Maui wedding venue.
But Taylor had never been to Hawaii before and if you’re going to choose a place for your first-ever Hawaiian experience, it might as well be Maui, right? Andrew had been before and together they decided, hey, let’s get married AND honeymoon here. One flight. Double the magic!
A First Look
Their wedding at the Four Seasons Maui was nothing short of cinematic. Beneath swaying plumeria trees and with the ocean humming gently in the background, Taylor and Andrew exchanged vows that had everyone swooning. But before all that? There was a first look.
And oh, the first look.
Let’s just say there were happy tears, big smiles, and that ineffable moment when time pauses, not because you told it to, but because the universe saw something too beautiful to rush. It was intimate and sweet and one of those “you had to be there” moments, except lucky for us… there were photos.
A Romantic Tropical Setting
The ceremony itself? Straight out of a fairytale, if the fairytale took place in Maui and featured a happy couple saying “I do” under the most romantic canopy of plumeria trees you’ve ever seen. Plumeria Point at the Four Seasons isn’t just a location—it’s a feeling. With the Pacific sparkling in the distance, soft petals drifting on the breeze, and sunlight filtering through the trees like nature’s own spotlight, it was the kind of setting that made everyone collectively sigh.
Taylor walked toward Andrew with that once-in-a-lifetime kind of glow, and he looked at her like he already knew he’d just made the best decision of his life. The intimacy of the moment, the gentle hush of the ocean in the background, and the fragrance of plumeria in the air, it all felt like Maui itself was giving them its blessing.
From cliffside proposals to sun-soaked vows in Hawaii, Taylor and Andrew’s love story feels like a dream you’d want to live in. One filled with horses and Jiu-Jitsu mats, publishing projects and stable boots, laughter, devotion, and now, plenty of beachy memories as newlyweds.
Congratulations, Taylor and Andrew! Your Maui wedding was as joyful, meaningful, and effortlessly beautiful as the love you share. Here’s to many more sunsets and adventures together! Enjoy your honeymoon!
