Hawaii vow renewal

Posted on by

Congratulations for a memorable Hawaii vow renewal on March 25, 2016, Good Friday, A beautiful Hawaii vow renewal ceremony of Jessie and Tony Rose was enjoyed at Magic Island,  at Honolulu’s people park of Ala Moana. Married for ten wonderful years with four
handsome sons to show off, a Hawaii vow renewal by Rev. Michael Nelson. A very special moment of their lives together. Jessie looked beautiful and so happy, dressed simply but smartly. Her husband dressed casually and looked great, dressed his sons like him.  What a nice looking family with well behaved sons. Loved ones also joined the family to give support.  A little rain from above did not dampen their spirits. Strolling to the wedding site, we tried to beat the rain that was forecast.  Diamond loomed in the voggy background with darker shade of ocean, due to sun covered.  It was still a beautiful sight for the ceremony. Diamond Head is still brown due to lack of rain this month.  Rev. Michael blew his conch shell to announce the important event to happen. As they stood together with their four children, they renewed their vows as they did ten years ago (of course minus the children at the time). Facing each other, smiling, happily Jessie and Tony gave and accepted their promise of marriage vows.  Rings held by their oldest son were handed over to Rev. Mike, raising it for the couple to reflect on the beauty and endless circle. Rings were give  n and exchanged.  Shell leis were used to have a lei exchange which is a symbol of gift of Aloha.  As they kissed each other, they were happily pronounced the renewed Jessie and Tony Rose. Congratulations, photo images for memories of a Hawaii vow renewal were taken.  A beautiful family and a wonderful ceremony.  Mahalo for having us. This couple enjoys and resides in Wahiawa, Oahu.   Mahalo.

Hawaii wedding packages

Posted on by

Joanna Chmura and Scott Ramos Hawaii wedding packages tweaked to their liking. A beautiful leap year wedding on February 29, 2016 was seriously enjoyed by many families and friends. A traditional leap year wedding, began with Scott’s father and mother getting married on a February 29.  From basic Hawaii wedding packages on A wedding in Hawaii web site, wedaloha.com, this couple chose the Magic package. They paid a large fee to the Byodo-In Temple for their wedding site in Kaneohe, Oahu, we provided the minister, the photographer, the videographer, with traveling fees to the other side of the island. Hawaii wedding packages can be tweaked, just ask us and we will do comparable or additional services with basic costs added. The temple is a beautiful ancient Japanese temple, orange in color, with a picturesque long bridge to cross into the gardens surrounding the Buddhist temple. The misty mountains of Koolau behind the temple with a koi pond in front makes a beautiful background.  Choosing a garden with that background was a perfect choice. The weather held off the rain. Our Hawaii wedding packages do not offer chairs or alters on beaches, due to State laws. In this case, the temple supplied chairs for the comfort of the guest, being on private property.  The couple arrived with their son, all beautifully dressed in White.  The bride’s bouquet of tropical flower were aromatic with the scent of the white ginger flower blossoms. The video love story begins with the couple walking on the oriental bridge toward the temple.  As the gathering took place, many visitors mingled up to the temple, a tourist attraction, ringing the temple gong- bell. Before the ceremony, the wedding area was coned off and the gong stopped.   Beautiful combinations of Hawaii wedding packages, tweaked together has created a very special time for Joanna and Scott of Colorado.  A welcome and Aloha blessing was provided by Reverend Michael Nelson.  Beautiful vows were given, blessing of beautiful rings, and the traditional lei exchange.  The black kukui nut and orchid leis were used for the traditional leis, gift of love.  We would like to present to you the new Joanna and Scott Ramos, married in this beautiful garden of Hawaii, the Byodo-In Temple.  A beautiful photographic and video love story awaits them as newly weds. Mahalo for having us on this special day.   wedaloha.com
