VOW RENEWAL FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL HAWAII TRADITIONS
This is a vow renewal for couples already legally married and are looking to reaffirm their love to celebrate a special anniversary or just to celebrate your love. The Hawaii Traditions Vow Renewal option incorporate the most popular wedding traditions in the Hawaiian Islands into a personalized non-relgious love centric ceremony and is officiated anywhere on Oahu.
I will personalize your ceremony to incorporate your love story. You will have the option to use a beautiful lifelike silk maile with tuberose garland to create a heart or circle of flowers to mark the ceremony spot for the two of you to stand in during the ceremony. If you choose to use the garland I will set it up before your ceremony and collect it after the ceremony.
During a sand unity the two of you blend separate bowls of sand into one representing the how of your hearts and lives were once separate and when combined it created something stronger. I provide use of Hawaiian wooden bowls for the ceremony and will bring sand if the ceremony location isn’t a location with sand. You may also choose to provide your own bowls and/or sand or glass beads for the unity ceremony.
Honi Honi, Ha Breath of Life is a native Hawaiian tradition of deep love and respect. It is an intimate moment of touching noses and foreheads then sharing a breath; it also looks amazing in photos and videos.
Rather than exchanging rings you will exchange variegated purple and white dendrobium orchid leis to represent your love and never ending commitment as you vow your eternal Aloha for one another. During the lei exchange I will have you repeat vows after me. You may also write your own vows of love to say after exchanging leis or can choose to not say anything additional.
After you exchange leis, but before being proclaimed your vows reaffirmed, you will perform a lava rock and ti leaf ceremony. In the Hawaiian culture it is believed that the leaves of a Ti plant bring good luck and protection from negative energy. The lava rock represents your marriage and together you wrap your marriage in good luck and leave it to mark where you pledged your eternal Aloha.
When I pronounce your marriage reaffirmed a pineapple bubble maker will fill the air with bubbles in celebration!
Before I leave after your ceremony I will present you with a ceremonial Certificate of Vow Renewal featuring the Hawaiian Islands.
