IT ALL STARTED WITH A PHONE CALL...

Nina and Chris knew each other since they were teenagers. They had the same
friends growing up in Kailua. Nina had a secret crush on Chris growing up. One
day they were in Kailua with a group of friends and Nina said out loud, "I think
Chris is cute" then looked at Chris. They lost touch after 19 years. The last
time they spoke was in 2001.




And then the phone call came. Chris called Nina in July of 2014 and they started
out talking once a week then it turned into everyday. They were just friends.
Nina enjoyed talking to Chris. By September, Nina fell in love with Chris over
the phone. Nina told Chris I love you first.




Then they decided to meet up at Best Buy on Nina's lunch break. After work Chris
wanted to meet up with Nina again. So, they went to Kakaako beach park and
talked for hours at the beach. They were inseparable since then and saw each
other everyday.




Nina's kids loved Chris. Every Sunday Chris would come over and bring the kids
banana lumpia. The banana lumpia was still warm by the time he got to the house.
The kids looked forward to eating banana lumpia every Sunday, including Nina. By
December 2014, Nina's son, Makaiah made his mom a Christmas card at school. In
that Christmas card Makaiah wrote, "Mom, you and Chris have known each other for
years. You should be with Chris." At that moment, Nina knew what to do. Chris
was a keeper. Nina still has that card till today. And the rest is History. Nina
and Chris have been living there Happily Ever After.

THE ENGAGEMENT

Every year Chris's dad would visit Hawaii from California. And every year he
would ask Chris and Nina, "So, when are you guys getting married?" And every
time Chris would tell his dad, ask her?




Then the following year Chris's dad came back to visit Hawaii. They all went out
to dinner at Pinky's Pupu Bar & Grill in Kailua, Rick, Chris's dad turned to
Nina and asked her, "So, when are you marrying my son?" And Nina said, ask him?
Rick replied, no, no, no, he said to ask you.




After that Nina and Chris went home and Nina turned to Chris and said, "You can
ask me to marry you now. But, not until next year after my birthday in April."
Nina laughed. Chris looked at Nina and just smiled.




That same year, later in the year in December, Nina and Chris were planning a
trip to New York so Chris could meet her dad and all her family members. They
stayed with Nina's sister, Vivi in her Madison Ave apartment in Manhattan. They
all planned to visit, "The Edge" which has a 360 degree view of the whole New
York City. Vivi told Nina and Chris that she wanted to do a photoshoot of them.
This is not an uncommon thing for Vivi to do because she is a photographer and
Nina is used to Vivi taking tons of photos. Nina was excited to take pictures
with Chris in The Big Apple. It was Chris's first time visiting New York.




So, Nina Curled her hair and put on her lashes. Nina despises getting ready but
wanted to look nice for the photos. They get to, "The Edge" and all three of
them are on the rooftop. Vivi turns and says, "I'm going to get us hot cocoa.
Nina and Chris are waiting for Vivi to come back and she sees her sister with
her lighting and camera taking selfies. Nina tuned to Chris and said, "I thought
she said she was getting us hot cocoa?"




Finally, Vivi gathers Nina and Chris and starts to take pictures. She has them
standing side by side looking at the camera. Vivi tells Nina to turn around and
look to her right and pose. Nina thought to herself, "how awkward" but listened
to her big sister. Nina always listened to her big sister and just trusted her
vision. Then she tells Nina to turn back around and face Chris. When Nina turned
around Chris pulled a bouquet of 12 dozen roses from behind his back and handed
it to her. Before Nina could have a chance to think where these roses came from
Chris was already down on one knee with a ring in his hand. Till this day, Nina
doesn't remember what Chris said. She was so stunned. All she heard was, "Nina
will you marry me?" and she bursts out in tears and said, yes!




Throughout her happy tears of joy all she could think about was her dad. She
asked Chris, does my dad know?" Chris said yes.




The previous night they all had a family dinner at her cousin, Robyn's house.
All Nina's and Vivi's cousin's were there including her dad, Edwin. Chris said
that when he went with Edwin to park the car he asked her father for her hand in
marriage. Edwin gave Christopher his blessing.




This made Nina so happy and more happy tears came. Then she turned around and
her family members were there watching her proposal. They all went and had an
engagement dinner right after. They set the date for August 2024 so all of
their, out of state family members had ample time to plan to come to Hawaii. <3
