Bethany Hamilton married Adam Dirks

“Soul Surfer” Bethany Hamilton married Adam Dirks on Sunday in Kauai, Hawaii.

To unwind on the morning of the wedding, the bride “went surfing on the beach where I first surfed with one arm. I caught a few waves and messed around on a longboard.”

Attended by 300 guests, devout Christians Bethany and Adam exchanged vows at a private estate among gorgeous plumeria and orchid blossoms. “When I looked in Adam’s eyes, I almost started crying,” said Bethany.

Staying true to their spirituality, they shared their first dance to Ben Harper’s “The Three of Us,” and served local coffee in lieu of alcohol.

The couple met last year on a blind date where they jumped off a 40 foot cliff! We wrote about Bethany’s incredible story and her engagement here. She’s been an amazing inspiration to us and so many others, with her incredible strength and optimism.

We wish the adorable young couple a happy and exciting life together!

Bethany Hamilton is an inspiration to millions, especially young women, and we’re thrilled to share in her happiness.

She was on her way to a career in professional surfing when a shark attack took her left arm. She conquered her fears, got back on the board, and was competing again the next year.

Her amazing story is the subject of the biopic “Soul Surfer.”

Bethany is engaged to her boyfriend of one year, Christian youth minister Adam Dirks.

She wrote on her Facebook page, “One year ago today, I met an amazing man, now we will spend the rest of our lives together!”

Congratulations, Bethany and Adam!
