Fui, Wayne and little pimpin' Fui
To start off we had introductions, said a prayer and Melba shared a spiritual Easter message. Then, Fui stood up and did his THING. Leonne was so surprised! They have been dating forever and she wasn't expecting ANYTHING.
Afterwards, Leonne was like, "I was wondering why you wanted me to put my shoes on and why everyone had their cameras out" he he. They were so cute.
The GIRLS - Arda, Kesa, Adi, Kenny, Kika, Melba, me, Sili, Kina, Nia, Fui and Leonne, Aunty Hina and Tema
THE BOYS - Will, Fui, Shiloh, Sione, Wayne and Moe
THE RING - it's a floating diamond with
a row of diamonds on the band in white gold.
Very beautiful and very Leonne.
Fui and Leonne with the whole Latu clan
Fui and Leonne have been our special family friends for a long time. We love them! Wayne and Fui entered the BYU football program together waay back when and have been brothers ever since and Leonne is like a sister to all the girls. We were SO happy to be a part of this special occasion. We LOVE you Fui and Leonne. We wish you all the best!
**A little story about Fui and Leonne - just this last Monday Wayne and I decided to walk around the mall for Family Home Evening. We were walking around and ran into Fui and Leonne. We talked for a while and Wayne made a joke that we were walking the mall because we didn't have any money to do something else. Later, I went to the bathroom and on the way out Fui was waiting there and was like, "Hey Mary. Come here" I thought he wanted to tell me something so I got closer and the bugah stuffed a twenty dollar bill in my hand and then ran into the boys bathroom!!! Leonne wouldn't let us give it back to them either. Bums. Honestly, though, we were so touched by their gift. It was such a generous and thoughtful thing to do. So, for FHE we had ice cream on them! he he.

awwww super cute!!!!! <3 the soon to be Vakapunas...
Mer, when we came to the rugby game that one time we saw you a few weeks ago, me and Line (with Nase and Spence) passed by Elder Vakapuna, now Fui to most, and Line was saying hi to the couple and I just smiled thinking I don't know them... When we passed them the conversation was like:
Line: Sarah! That was Fui!
Sarah: Fui?
Line: You know, he served his mission in San Diego.
Sarah: OHHHhhh... Elder Vakapuna. Oops.
Line: They (Fui and his fiance) probably thought you were snobbing them.
Sarah (thinking): We'll say hi on the way back.
Anyhow, needless to say, when we passed them again (coming back from diaper duty for Nase), we stopped so I could say hey to Fui. He was a really good missionary, and came to eat lupulu Maake made one time for him and his companion at the time.
Thanks for posting Mer and congrats to the couple.
LOL! I was watching the video and Duran's little sister came in. She goes, "is that your brother?" (like she does everytime I'm watching a video with polys in it) I answered, "no."
Then, "is he your cousin?" again, "no."
"Is that your friend?"
"No."
"Is he Duran's friend?"
"No."
"Do you just know him?"
"No."
"Then why are you crying?!"
LOL! Oh, and next time I'm in Utah, I'll give you a call so you can track them down so Duran and I can run into them and tell them we have to just walk around cause we have no money :D Got it? Ready, break! Lol! Or whatever football players say when they come out of the huddle hee hee
