The Wedding Party

rw-hawaii-27-wds107780.jpg

A couple throw a seaside celebration at a private estate in Hawaii that President Obama frequents.

The bride and groom posed with their casually clad bridesmaids and groomsmen on the beach at the private estate they rented for their October nuptials in Oahu.

The Locale

"We'd been looking for an estate with a pretty backyard on the water," Stacie says, "and suddenly I thought, 'Why not Obama's place?'" The vacation house the president rents is just down the street from her aunt's home. "When my relatives heard our plan, they said we were out of our minds," says Stacie. Undaunted, she tracked down the owner, and -- with plenty of aloha spirit -- he said yes.
