Very windy today. Pre-breakfast: fresh papaya, water. Took photos of taxidermy for Phil and chatted with the saleswoman at Truffaux Panama Hat Salon. Walked to Royal Hawaiian, met Quyen, and we lounged in their room a few minutes while Dave dressed. (I think it was room RH 457.) Paul arrived. We walked to breakfast at Eggs n Things (343 Saratoga Road). Richard met us there. After brunch Richard drove us in his rental car. I was more familiar with the area, and they wanted a bit of road sightseeing, so I took them clockwise around Diamond Head. We stopped briefly at a lookout. We continued driving, passing the lighthouse. We parked at Kapiolani Park and sat at Queen's Beach a few minutes. Got malasadas at Leonard's. Richard dropped us at Kuhio and Lewars because we were approaching being late for the ceremony. Back to my hotel to freshen and change. Walked to The Imperial for Chris and Nate's wedding ceremony. This was the most non-traditional wedding ceremony I've ever attended, and it was an excellent time. Afterwards I rode a taxi with Quyen and Richard to the Mikes' on Pualani Way then later rode an Uber taxi to my hotel for about $12.00. I learned today that I had been spelling Dave's mom's name incorrectly; it's Annita.
