Our Honeymoon...

We jetted off today to Las Vegas for our honeymoon.  It was the first time to Vegas for both of us, so we were excited about going there.

We stayed at the very nice Desert Rose Resort, which is located just a block from the Vegas Strip and is next to the Tropicana Hotel.

We saw shows including "Marriage Can Be Murder," where we got to participate in an interactive who-dunnit? murder mystery (fun!) (see pic above) and The Tournament of Kings at Excalibur.  We also visited Hoover Dam and drove north of Vegas to hike to Turtlehead Peak in the Sandstone Canyon area.

And we wagered some money, too, with Jacque doing especially well at roulette.  Lots of good food to eat, too.  And of course, we were on our honeymoon.  ;-).

654321 -- Our Wedding Day

We were married at on 654321.   Translated, we were married in the sixth month, on the fifth day, in the fourth year (of the 21st century) at 3:21 p.m.  We were joined as wife and husband in the chapel on the campus of the Kamehameha Schools on Kapalama Heights.

Marrying us was Kahu Sherman Thompson of the Kamehameha Schools and conducting was a close friend, Mark Turansky of Pacific Islands Bible Church of Mililani. Jacque and I attended PIBC for a while before and after we were married and we received pre-marriage counseling from Mark.  Dayle's best man was his good friend Bill Melemai.  Jacque's maid of honor was her good friend Suzie Henyan.  Suzie's daughter Melissa was the flower girl.

Many members of both the Turner and Bell ohana along with friends from the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club, neighbors, classmates, and friends of Bill W.
