And the Escape to Maui winners are… KAYLA AND KENNY from Spokane, Washington! Congratulations to this adorable couple, whose romantic story captured the hearts of our readers. They received the most votes from all of you—literally thousands—who voted in the contest. I look forward to working with Kayla and Kenny and Robin Williams of Event Masters to design an oceanfront event complete with cocktails, dinner and dancing at Timba on the shores of Lahaina, Maui. They will also enjoy a honeymoon stay at the fabulous Hyatt Regency Maui (pictured below), photography coverage by the talented Amity Mason, and a romantic sunset sail aboard Trilogy Excursions. I know they are both so excited to realize their dream wedding in Maui, Hawaii is actually coming true!

Thanks so much to all the couples who entered and each of you who took the time to vote. We can’t wait to share Kayla and Kenny’s wedding with you in the Summer 2011 edition of Pacific Weddings.   xo ~robyn

And for all of you romantics at heart, let’s revisit Kayla and Kenny’s love story in her words (notice all the exclamation points:).

Kenny and I first met when we were in the 6th grade! I saw him at the high school football game and immediately has a crush on him! We became best friends in junior high but never became anything more until our sophomore year of high school! Kenny showed up one night at my bedroom window and asked me if I wanted to be more than friends! I said yes and we have been dating for seven years now! When we went on our annual summer camping trip this August, Kenny asked me if I wanted to go on a hike with him and go Geocaching. We followed Kenny’s GPS until we got in the general area of the Geocache. It had led us to a gorgeous path down by the lake that had a beautiful view! As we began to look around for the treasure Kenny claimed he had found it!! As I walked over to see what was inside, there was Kenny down on one knee with the ring in his hand! I of course said YES! We got to spend the next week together fishing, hiking and celebrating our engagement! I knew all those years ago that Kenny and I were meant to be and now I get to marry my first and only love.
