Marieka Rogers Raphael Miller

The wedding setup used the theme of redish
orange magenta and bright Hawaiian flowers

Before the beginning of the wedding aisle Marieka
wanted to have the Hawaiian Tiki Lono – who is a Ancient
Tiki Statue of Fertility and Peace was chosen by
Marieka and Raphael Miller to signify their love for Hawaiian culture and its place in their heart . In the mythic Hawaiian stories, Lono brings forth abundance and prosperity hence he is connected with music and agriculture for example the sounds of nature { the ocean the birds the wind and the fire are part of Lono’s personality} …. it is said that Lono came to Hawaii riding a rainbow laughing as he slide down to the Hawaiian islands. In agricultuer such as the planting Taro {a main staple in the local diet} he was considered the element that brought forth the rain from the sky which by the way is the Hawaiian word Wai. Lono also embodies love and is an important part of the peaceful season known as Makahiki.
