Throwback to Talitaās wedding hula dance she did for me. Will never forget! So much love, and her hips donāt lie like Shakira! Happy Valentineās Day! Excited for our first of many! Alofa Atu mi amore! Opa!!!
Usos for life š¤š½. Shout out to my groomsmen! Thank you for everything! For the ones that could make it and the ones that couldnāt- you each made the day special for me, love you guys. Brothers for life!
Married my high school sweetheart, and I couldnāt be more happy. Was extremely blessed and fortunate to ACTUALLY have our crazy dream come true of being married halfway around the world in her familyās village of Malie and in her grandmotherās church! And on top of this, our family and friends came with us too! God is good and he answered every single one of our prayers concerning our wedding. I still canāt believe Talita and I had this incredible experience and Iām so thankful for everything Talitaās family in Samoa did for us too! But above all, Iām most thankful for Talita. Sheās Proverbs 31 status, my best friend, and I absolutely am the luckiest man in the world to call her my wife! Donāt deserve her, and Iām gonna cherish her 25/8. Alofa Atu Talita and let the good times roll in 2020!
After our wedding, Talitaās family had a surprise party waiting for us called a faāafe. It was hosted on her familyās land across the church. Her family was so thoughtful and loving. They prepared delicious food, sang to us, and the men and women of Malie (and her family) performed several dances for us too. There was so much love and happiness throughout the entire fale. Talita couldnāt help but cry because of what they did for us. Towards the end, they pulled Talita on stage to do a taualuga. Couldnāt have been more proud of her! Isnāt she incredible! Super blessed to be married to this Samoan sweetheart. ā¤ļø Iām also super grateful for her family in Malie to honor us in this way. We are very humbled and love you all.

Saw the memorial for LtCol Richard Cole, he was the last living member of the Doolittle Tokyo Riders. Got to hear from a veteran from the original USS Hornet, Alexa got a picture with him. Then explored the USS Hornet. Very cool experience!
