To utilize them all would be overkill, so pick and choose the optional ones that most resonate with you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Rare Seaside Setting <\/b>(optional)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The incorporation of sea shells and starfish in a beach wedding can be a uniquely elegant touch. They can be arranged along the sand in a myriad of imaginative ways in the creation of a distinctive aisle, combined with other materials to construct a stunning arch or both. The shells and starfish are at times also arranged in what is called a \u201cCircle of Love\u201d in which the couple stands during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-322-2\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loop autoplay preload=\"auto\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/alohaislandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/20170728_172703.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/alohaislandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/20170728_172703.mp4\">http:\/\/alohaislandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/20170728_172703.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Arrival of Guests and Processions<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As common in Hawaiian beach weddings, guests arrive hearing the mellifluous sounds of the ukulele. After most of them have been seated, the wedding officiant, customarily a Kahuna Pule a.k.a. Kahu (Hawaiian minister) adorned with a flashy, leaf haku lei (head garland) recites a mele (chant), popularly Oli Aloha, as he escorts the groom to the forefront of the proceeding. The chant translates as follows:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>This is the sight for which you have longed.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Now that you have come,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Love has come with you.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>There was a seeking of a loved one,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Now she is found\u2014a mate is found<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Someone with whom to share the chills of your winters<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>And the warmth of your summers.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Love has made a plea that you are to become united here in Hawaii.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Hawaii is a perch\u2014a perch in the Heavens.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>You two are now to become one for the day is here at last:<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>You are to be wed!<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Next in order down the aisle are the mothers of the bride and groom with their escorts followed by the bridal party frequently including bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer. As an alternative to tossing flower petals as she walks down the aisle, the young girl can scatter sea shells along the sand from a basket.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Music to create the mood before and after the ceremony<\/strong> .<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/images\/Reception%20Christine%20&amp;%20Mathew%20pink%20house%2012.jpg\" alt=\"Hula dancer Kavena \" width=\"950\" height=\"569\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hula dancer teaching the bride and groom at their reception how to dance parts of the hula song , this is so much fun for the guest too!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To have a hula dancer sharing her dance of the songs of the Hawaiian island is so nice for all the guest<br \/>\nas they arrive to your wedding the first thing they see is a beautiful dancer swaying to the sounds and melody of the islands. the islands.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K3l3OU_KkM8?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Many hula dancers will take the time to teach the guest and even the wedding couple<br \/>\na few of the Hula dancing moves .<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S0HkCygwNAw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Blowing the Pu (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/conch.htm\">Conch Shell<\/a>)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-323\" src=\"http:\/\/alohaislandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/rev-kimo-blowing-the-conch-shell-at-a-wedding-for-the-bride.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"756\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alohaislandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/rev-kimo-blowing-the-conch-shell-at-a-wedding-for-the-bride.jpg 456w, https:\/\/alohaislandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/rev-kimo-blowing-the-conch-shell-at-a-wedding-for-the-bride-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/hawaii_ministers1.htm\">Minister in Hawaii<\/a> blowing the conch shell<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Kahu officially commences the ceremony by blowing the Pu (conch shell) in all directions representing the repelling of antagonistic spirits and the calling forth of that which is highly revered in the form of the elemental powers to attest to the majesty of the ceremony and the imminent appearance of the bride.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Subsequent to the sounding of the Pu, the bride reveals herself, traditionally walking down the aisle alone while a Hawaiian chanter performs a mele. In a mixed tradition ceremony, the bride might come down the aisle with her father, brother, other close male family members, or friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Words of Welcome<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once bride and groom are at the head of the proceeding, the Kahu says a few words of welcome similar to this:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Welcome to the wedding of Mary and John.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>They have come here today to openly proclaim and legally bind <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>the love that is already in their hearts. <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>May the concerns of life never get in affection\u2019s way;<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Indeed, may Mary and John fall in love again each day!<\/i><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Invoking the Elemental Powers <\/b>(optional)<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/hawaiiimage\/kissing%20under%20the%20bamboo%20bright%20dark%20orang%20beach%20arch%20with%20amore.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kissing his bride after he gives her a Hawaiian flower lei<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Kahu might continue by verbally petitioning the elemental powers, to bless the union:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>We implore you, fierce Spirit of Fire to be with Mary and John throughout the years destroying anything that is disruptive and inharmonious.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>We summon you, O gentle Spirit of the Air that your Cool Breeze may ceaselessly allow Mary and John to exhale tension and breathe in peace.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>We beseech you, vast oceans and seas that your ebb and flow may ever leave Mary and John resting together calmly upon the shore.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>We request, precious Mother Earth that, through your nurturance, the seeds of Mary and John\u2019s love may continuously blossom and thrive.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Lei Exchange Between Wedding Couple <\/b>(customarily included but optional)<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/orchid%20leis%20turquoise%20ocean%20blue%20on%20wedding%20chairs.jpg\" alt=\"Hawaiian flower wedding leis\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turquoise orchid leis await on the chairs for the wedding couple to give eachother<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">The best man then hands a ti leaf or maile leaf lei (garland necklace) to the bride, as the maid of honor hands a white pikake, or white ginger flower lei to the groom. The bride begins this ritual by placing the long open ti leaf or maile leaf lei around the groom\u2019s neck symbolic of him embracing her. The groom, in turn, places the shorter closed white pikake or ginger flower lei around the bride\u2019s<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/25\/92\/df\/2592df8f40bb58f4dc6a56e2d7e97f89.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"680\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bride in Hawaii shows off her Pikake flower lei also known and jasmine flowers<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">neck representing the never ending circle of Aloha (i.e. love).

An example is:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Mary\/John<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Today, I openly give to you, and you alone,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>My heart, soul, mind, and understanding<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>I will smile with you, sigh with you,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Laugh with you, cry with you, <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Indeed, in both calm and tribulation<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>I will embrace you without cessation<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>I will be faithful and never swerve<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>From giving you the respect you deserve <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>And I solemnly pledge that as we together grow old<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>I will all these promises uphold.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Ring Exchange <\/b>(customarily included but optional)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For the ritual of the rings, the Kahu immerses a Koa bowl into the sea filling it with water. Koa is a hard wood symbolizing strength and integrity. Next, the Kahu dips a ti leaf, symbolic of prosperity and health, into the bowl of water and sprinkles the rings three times while performing a Hawaiian chant which translates:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><i>\u201cMay peace from above rest upon you and remain with you now and forever.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The sprinkling represents the couple\u2019s sending any past hurts and relationship impediments back into the sea and their embracing of new beginnings as husband and wife. The couple then exchanges rings, while respectively saying something similar to:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Mary\/John, receive this ring\u2014an unending circle<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>And token of my Aloha forever unbroken.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Ritual of the Sand <\/b>(optional)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A tender ritual that often follows the ring exchange is that of the Unity Candles where the bride and groom combine the flames from their single taper candle in the lighting of a larger one in the middle of them, symbolic of the uniting of two souls. However, since candles typically blow out when used outdoors, the lighting of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/tiki_torch.htm\">fire torches <\/a>or the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alohaislandweddings.com\/hawaii_sand_ceremony.htm\">Hawaiian Sand Ceremony<\/a> is a lovely alternative. Two small vessels, each with sand of a different color, are placed on a table with a bigger empty one in between them. For a sentimental touch, the three containers might be heart-shaped at the top with one of the smaller ones monogrammed with the name of the bride, the other with the name of the groom, and the biggest one with the surname of the soon to be newlyweds. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>At the appropriate moment, the couple simultaneously pours their individual vessels into the larger one representing the integration of their two lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Words from the Kahu might include:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Just as once blended, these sands can never again return to their original state, <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>so, once wed, neither of you will ever again be the same.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>The achievable goal is that you merge your better halves<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i> into one extraordinary whole.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sand rituals can also be performed using an hourglass which the couple reverses each year on their anniversary to symbolize the intensification of their union as the sands mix more densely. Furthermore, additional small vessels, each with its separate color of sand, can be incorporated into the ritual to represent the uniting of families including parents, siblings, and children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Ritual of the Seashell <\/b>(optional)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Either instead of or in addition to the ritual of the sand, at the conclusion of the wedding, guests are sometimes asked to pick up a seashell, proceed to the shore, and then silently make a wish for the bride and groom while tossing the shell in the water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Words from the Kahu for this ritual might be:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Seashells are symbols of love and prosperity. <\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Wish upon one for the newlyweds,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Then cast it to the sea<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>In the hope that their marriage will be largely carefree.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Ti Leaf and Lava Rock Ritual <\/b>(optional)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Still another addition to or replacement for the Sand and Seashell rites is that of the Ti Leaf and Lava rock. As a symbol of their commitment to one another, the newlyweds wrap the lava rock in a ti leaf and leave it as an offering at the wedding site. The Kahu might introduce ritual by saying:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">May this Ti Leaf and Lava Rock represent<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Mary\u2019s and John\u2019s committal<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">To a life that is content.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Final Blowing of the Pu<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Kahu blows the Pu one last time to mark the end of the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Signing of the Marriage Certificate<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the conclusion of the wedding ceremony but before the reception, the newlyweds sign the marriage certificate which is then completed by the Kahu and later filed with the state of Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Dramatic Reception Exit <\/b>(optional)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A classical and sensational closure for an outdoor reception might be the live singing of Roger Quilter\u2019s music version of Percy Bysshe Shelley\u2019s poem, \u201cLove\u2019s Philosophy\u201d with the newlyweds exiting the gathering by embarking on a boat and sailing away while kissing during the last line of the song:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>The fountains mingle with the river<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i> And the rivers with the ocean;<br \/>\nThe winds of heaven mix forever<br \/>\nWith a sweet emotion;<br \/>\nNothing in the world is single;<br \/>\nAll things by a law divine<br \/>\nIn one another&#8217;s being mingle&#8211;<br \/>\nWhy not I with thine?<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>See, the mountains kiss high heaven<br \/>\nAnd the waves clasp one another;<br \/>\nNo sister flower could be forgiven<br \/>\nIf it disdained its brother;<br \/>\nAnd the sunlight clasps the earth,<br \/>\nAnd the moonbeams kiss the sea;&#8211;<br \/>\nWhat are all these kissings worth,<br \/>\nIf thou kiss not me?<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>Bibliography<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Carse, Lisa. &#8220;Hawaiian Wedding Customs and Traditions.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/content\/hawaii-wedding-traditions\">https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/content\/hawaii-wedding-traditions<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Heiderstadt, Donna. &#8220;Hawaiian Wedding Ceremony.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripsavvy.com\/hawaiian-wedding-ceremony-1532936\">https:\/\/www.tripsavvy.com\/hawaiian-wedding-ceremony-1532936<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ideas to bring the aspect of Hawaiian culture\u00a0 into your wedding ceremony.
