We Are Getting Married
Adam & Rozeta
Rozeta Avetisyan
Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want Adam to be afraid of how much he loves me.
Adam McKnight
It was love at first sight of course. Actually, no… it was when I heard Rozeta’s voice. It was love at first see with my ears.

Airbnb is a great option if you plan on staying longer than the weekend of our wedding. Airbnb also hosts unique properties and locations outside of Waikiki. Please do what you think is best for you and your family. This is your vacation as much as it is our wedding.

Renting a car is not necessary if you plan on simply relaxing in Waikiki. Just take an uber or taxi to the hotel and we will provide roundtrip shuttle transportation to the “Aloha Welcome Party” on Friday, and to the “Wedding” on Sunday.
If you plan on traveling around the island or staying more than just the wedding weekend, we highly recommend renting a car via Turo or a car rental agency.

Parking at the wedding venue is free.
