WELCOME & OPENING:

Aloha, Aloha ka kou (greetings to all). It is an honor and privilege to be with you on this special day of joy and love. We welcome you both (Groom) and (Bride) to this moment in your lives and to the places you’ve found in each other's hearts. For it is out of this love that you have for one another that you have come to this Island of Oahu to be joined in marriage.

Let us take a moment to be aware of all the beauty around us, taking in a breath of air, listening to the sounds of nature, and feeling the harmony of this island. We are all part of One, and we call upon the Love that is ever-present to bless this special day. I congratulate you on the journey of your lives, and on the strength and the courage it has taken for each of you to make your way to this place.

We are gathered here today in this beautiful island paradise to join you (Groom) and you (Bride) as you commit to each other as friends, companions and trusted soul mates. Marriage symbolizes the intimate sharing of your lives, whereby this sharing will not diminish, but rather enhance the beautiful individuality of each of you. Through this intimacy, you will learn that unconditional love is the key to supporting and nurturing each other's individual growth.

LEI EXCHANGE:

In Hawaii we exchange leis as a symbol of our mutual respect. The beautiful crafted lei with all of its hand picked flowers and twine, carefully bonded together, is a reflection of your love and aloha that you share for one another. As you exchange these leis you will begin to weave your lives together throughout eternity.

May the exchange of these lei's represent the beginning of your lives together as we ask for the blessings of life to open our hearts to the ways of love.

(Groom) present your lei to (Bride) with a smile and a kiss upon both of her cheeks and repeat after me: “As a symbol of my everlasting love, let this lei be to you a symbol of love deeper than words can express. E ku'uipo, me ke aloha, lei makamae. (To my sweetheart with love that will never fade away).”

(Bride) present your lei to (Groom) with a smile and a kiss on both of his cheeks and repeat after me. “As a symbol of my everlasting love, let this lei be to you a symbol of love deeper than words can express. E ku'uipo, me ke aloha, lei makamae. (To my sweetheart with love that will never fade away).”

BLESSING IN HAWAIIAN:

No ka mea, ua aloha nui mai ke Akua I ko ke ao nei, nolaila, ua haawi mai oia I kana keiki hiwa hiwa, I ole e make ka mea mana oio ia, ia, aka, e loaa ia ia ke ola mau loa. Amene.

ENGLISH: May the gift of love that has flourished between the two of you spread to all, and by doing so, give you both everlasting peace and life. Amen.

READING:

(Groom) and (Bride) you have chosen each other from all other people of this earth. Today you both come declaring your love and your desire to live united as husband and wife. This ceremony you both share is symbolic of the total love you feel and wish to continue sharing as you integrate physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

It is a sacred moment in life when two people, who were once strangers to each other, are drawn together in love. (Groom) and (Bride) you are linking your lives in the closest possible relationship with that of another human soul. Share in times of joy, as in times of trouble, talk and listen to each other, for there will be many challenges to your patience and wisdom, but through your love for each other, all challenges will be overcome. Today as you join your lives together, keep your own memories, dreams and goals. Hold onto that sacred essence that is within each of you, for the singular person is the one you've each grown to love. So treasure the wonderful, unique person that your mate is, and don't try to make your mate fit a mold, but rather give wings to your loved one, for each other's sake. For it is through the support and belief in each other that each of you will be the best that you can be and each of you will bring to this marriage the glory that is you.

Know that you are God's gifts to one another and cherish this truth always.

VOWS:

I ask each of you now to repeat the marriage vows. “I (Groom) take you (Bride) to be my wife and my equal. To share my life with openly, while I love, honor, and stand by you always. I choose you for my wife. To care for you and trust you, to cherish you and respect you. To forgive you and be forgiven by you. To support you in being all that you are, and in all that you will be. I will love you in good times, and in bad. When we are together, and when we are apart. I offer you always my open heart, so that you can live in peace, in peace our love will flourish. I promise to be ever faithful, today and for all of our tomorrows.”

I promise to be ever faithful, today and for all of our tomorrows.”

WEDDING RINGS:

As long as time can be remembered, the ring has been symbolic of the completed bond. The ring is without beginning and without end. The ring goes on forever. Circles of life, circles of love, the continuity of life, the connection from the heart which you share with one another and the commitment you are making to enjoin your life's path in equality and in love. Let these unbroken bands represent the unbroken circle of your love. Let the hardness of the metal represent the strength in which each of you will use to uphold your union. May you each wear these rings as a constant reminder of the beauty and sincerity of the vows you have just taken. These rings are given and received as tokens of never-ending Aloha.

BLESSING OF RINGS:

HAWAIIAN: Hiki ka haku ho'omaika'i ke'ia, mau komo ke' la' oe hau'oli, mehe kou ho' ailona, o aloha a la ahia. Amene. ENGLISH: I bless these rings which you give to each other as your sign of love, devotion and ever- lasting peace. Amen.

EXCHANGE OF RINGS:

“(Bride) this ring is my sacred gift to you. A symbol of my love. A sign that from this day forward my love will always surround you. With this ring I give you my heart. I have no greater gift to give. I feel both honored and blessed to be your husband and to have you as my wife. With this ring, I thee wed.”

“(Groom) this ring is my sacred gift to you. A symbol of my love. A sign that from this day forward my love will always surround you. With this ring I give you my heart. I have no greater gift to give. I feel both honored and blessed to be your wife and to have you as my husband. With this ring, I thee wed.”

PRONOUNCEMENT:

And so, by the power vested in me by the laws of the State of Hawaii I now pronounce you (Groom) and (Bride) Husband and Wife. You may seal your vows with a kiss.

May the love, peace and serenity of this moment be with you now, and remain in your hearts forevermore.

You may edit or embellish this ceremony copy in any way you choose, create your own vows and also bring children into it.
