A Dunkin Doughnuts Luv Story.  

Our love story… Well, I grew up in a town called Hope, I flew the nest and moved a few towns away. Still having to drive thru to get to work, I stopped at the local Dunkin donuts to get coffee every morning. Dan works for the town of Hope and stopped there every morning for his. After a few months, Dan started to open the door for me & saying hi to each other. I was friends with his boss & asked him about this handsome stranger. Later that day, my friend showed Dan a picture of me & Tom said, that’s her, that’s the girl I’ve been telling you about! He very nervously asked me out the next morning. We’ve been inseparable since.

Years later, we knew we went on our first date in the fall of 2006 but didn’t know the exact date. Dan went to his bank in 2012 and requested his bank statements from September & October 2006, remembered what restaurant he took me to & there was the charge on 10/10/06! We decided to finally make it official on this special date in a very beautiful place!

We are not limited to any particular spiritual traditions,

We’ll just flow with the ultimate natural love that ‘Is’ in itself Divine… 😉

Would it be possible to have pink, white & orange flowers at our Maui Beach Wedding?!!

Those are the colors of Dunkin Donuts 😉

A Maui Marrying Man Beach Wedding will sweep you off your feet!
Love is fulfilled and sealed with a kiss
Getting Married on Maui is as easy as a kiss

A love story born in Hope that evolved into Eternal Maui Marital Bliss at a Maui beach wedding.

There must have been a love potion in the coffee there at Dunkin Doughnuts

which brought out a romantic attraction that has been inseparable ever since.

Flowing with a natural love truly is Divine.

As Father Thomas Keating, the Abbott of St. Joseph’s Abbey said about religion:

All the religions combined, are at best, a bad translation of “God”.

The less dogmatic spiritual traditions strongly state that their words are not meant to be taken as ‘the word of God’, they are merely like the spokes of a wheel that point towards the ineffable direction of Divinity… One must tread their own Path experientially towards the Ultimate Truth… this is the Truth that sets one free and liberates us from the pain & suffering inherent in our existence.

The Buddha, also stated:

“Don’t take my word for all this…

By any skillful means this Ultimate perspective can be un-veiled”.

And so, it is… Through the Divine Doughnut…

a True Love was born in Hope and un-veiled

in the parking lot at Dunkin Doughnuts.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
