For Micah’s walk down the aisle, he had a bespoke suit made at The Imperial Tailoring Company in Moscow. “He had been away for the eight months leading up to the wedding, so having a suit made together in the U.S. simply wasn’t possible,” explains Zana. “Instead, we set out to find the best tailor we could in Russia and ended up creating the most incredible custom suit for him.” She adds, “In a funny way, even his wedding look became a reflection of the life we were living at the time.”
During the reception, Zana had two outfit changes. First, she wore a mini dress that was crafted from the skirt of her mother’s wedding dress. “Wearing a piece of my mother’s dress was so much more emotional than I anticipated,” she reflects. Her final look was an Elce linen two-piece set with a backless halter top and pants. “It was very me—comfortable, freeing, and effortless,” Zana says.
Zana’s jewelry throughout the weekend was actually all pieces borrowed from her mother’s best friend, Lisa Wehrly, whom the bride sees as a mentor and role model. “I was able to wear pieces from her collection throughout the celebrations, each one carrying its own stories and history,” she says.
The celebrations kicked off on Friday night with a casual welcome event overlooking the ocean. Cocktails, bites, and conversation led to an unexpected turn. “In classic Hawaiian get-together fashion, it wasn’t long before someone picked up a microphone,” says Zana. “Micah’s sister, Mehana Maʻa, took the mic for a few songs, followed by Micah himself, who sang ‘I’m Yours’ by Jason Mraz. He then somehow transitioned into a hilarious, completely off-the-cuff freestyle, welcoming everyone to this beautiful place and telling them to get ready for the best weekend. Everyone absolutely erupted. It was spontaneous and so perfectly Micah, and it immediately set the tone for the weekend.”
