The Molokai Dispatch owner and editor-in-chief Todd Yamashita wed Ka Honua Momona executive director Noelani Lee on Aug. 8, 2008. In cultures throughout the world, especially China, the symbol “8” represents luck, wealth, and fortune. We wish all of these things for the happy couple.
E pili mau na pomaika`i ia `oe!
Ho`omaika`i! Finally, I get to wish the couple well after last year's 'false start', eh! Dis time foh real!
In all seriousness, this is wonderful news and I can't think of two people more suited to travel that special path together!
Since they say a laugh is worth ten million tears, here's dakine for you both:

"YES, I'LL MARRY YOU...."
(by Pam Ayres)
"Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
And here's the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.
"Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It's you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbour
Should our Labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It's you that has to whack him.
"Yes, I'll marry you,
You're virile and you're lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!
"It's you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I've got PMT it's you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But few of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I DO, I DO, I DO!"
---------------
Me ka aloha pumehana, Noelani & Todd!
