After landing in Honolulu, two blonde surfie guys got on the same shuttle bus as me. After a few minutes of casual chat, Jackson asked if I was possibly the Stacey that had changed money at the currency exchange the day before, with his Mum!<\/p>\n<p>The pair swapped details and after a couple of catch-ups went on their first official date. &#8220;We sent a photo to his Mum to say we had definitely run into each other! We have been inseparable since.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The pair married on the lawn at the Sheraton Grand Mirage, before the party got started inside the luxury venue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The pouring rain stopped, the clouds parted and the sun shone through the palm trees onto the lawn,&#8221; Stacey says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Drinks in hand, Jackson and guests gathered against the beautiful beach backdrop, while Dad and I arrived at the grand entrance in a convertible 1960s red Ford to meet the girls, sidestep the mud puddles and marry the man of my dreams. I had never felt so much love in one space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"MatzzPixz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mattzpixz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
