Cheryl & Fred in Tuscany, Italy

Cheryl and Fred traveled from one kind of paradise to another for their wedding, bringing 30 friends and family members (some of whom had never left the Hawaiian Islands before) across the globe for a romantic Italian adventure. The Bride Cheryl Hibbs, 32, restaurant owner The Groom Fred DeAngelo, 37, chef The Date May 5 Most people think of Hawaii as the perfect wedding location, but Cheryl and Fred “wanted to do things a little differently,” as Fred puts it. So they planned a 30-person expedition to Florence, Italy, for their great wedding adventure. “We’re not jet-setters, really. I’m just a simple girl from Nanakuli -- with big dreams!” Cheryl laughs.
