Maui Destination Vacation and Wedding with Sly Monkeys



What can I say? Maui was awesome. I've never had the chance to go to a destination with a large group of friends, and as you can see from the video, we had maybe too much fun. It shows us trying to act like Baywatch, Zoolander and TV stars, but we just end up goofing around a whole lot.

If you're easily offended, then this video will probably offend you. I apologize in advance.

Members of our group went out to Tiki Lounge in Kihei I think 7 out of 8 nights we were there. Maui isn't really a party island, so we had limited options for going out late at night. I was lucky enough to have 5 family members from Korea fly in for the wedding and they had an eye-opening experience hanging out with us for a week.

They said they've never met a group of friends so comfortable with each other, who were so willing to look like complete fools, even when strangers were around.

The wedding took place at Wailea Golf Course and our reception there took place at Gannons Restaurant which is also located on the golf course. We also had a relaxed rehearsal dinner at Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina, the night before the wedding. You'll see parts of the wedding party near the end of the video, although pictures from the wedding will come out later.

Special thanks to Mitch Montenegro, Keith Otaguro, Joe Galante, Mitch Greenblatt and Scott Kang for keeping the cameras rolling (and Mitch G again for capturing some incredible video footage). Also to Tin and Dustin for being themselves even in front of a camera. Looking forward to more Sly Monkeys videos with you all this summer!

And, of course, I love you Manda, my new beautiful bride. Thank you for everything.

-Jin
