Say “I do” in Hawaii (if “aloha” is not covered)

Apart from Las Vegas, there is no name on Earth, which means marriages like Hawaii. Here, your grandparents went to the silk shirt Polynesian passion, pupu platter and “bride chorus” and slowly popped up on the soprano’s Uke.

This is the place for your parents to go to white white with white, beach, ocean spray rituals.

This is where the couples are still knotting today – but there is one important difference: they walk around the island’s cliches and add authentic Hawaiian culture to their advocates.

Of course, Hawaii is more than just a place. Most people visited Oahu, with a reasonably priced hotel along Waikiki’s pristine playground beach.

Rich Californias prefers Maui’s buzz hotels and restaurants, manicured golf courses and high-end shopping.

Or, when they want some happy tranquility, they go to Kauai (Hello Mark Zuckerberg). Tiny Lanai is a former pineapple plantation now owned by Google billionaire Larry Ellison, which has become a kind of healthy.

But, in terms of authenticity, there is no better Aloha spirit preserved than on Hawaii Island (aka the Big Island on Hawaii Island).

Thanks to the active Kilauea volcano, which is located 4,050 square miles a day, its shoreline is vast and its reefs are filled with reefs, sparse developments and complex history – Captain Cook’s town is a famous British explorer who met his end, allegedly It is in these places and these lawsuits were given. The so-called Sandwich Islands is a new discovery of literalism. It also burns romantically.

“We do our best,” said Melina Manchester, director of special events at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Big Island in Hawaii. “We bring cultures together, not in a custom way. We try to respect. We try to do something more meaningful than just grass skirts and coconut bras.”

In the four seasons of Huaalalai, this means swearing “I do” before local Hawaiian officials like Uncle Earl or Kahu Tom. Uncle Earl is the manager of the Ka’upulehu Cultural Center at the resort and he has been with them for 20 years. Meanwhile, Kahu Tom Fernandez has lived on the Great Island since 1988 and is the Minister of the Congregational Church of Karahichiola.

“We have these very special people working with those cultural rituals,” Manchester said. “It’s usually non-sectarian, but Kahu Tom can also hold religious rituals. We love to know the couple so we can make it personal change.”

She added that the Hawaiian ceremony will involve Rey exchanges and some hymns selected specifically for the couple. It all begins with “OLI”, a welcome ode to blessing the wedding weekend. The Fire Night and Grass Dress Performance in Hawaiian Myth teach that if vaguely, fragments of Hawaiian myth and bobs are also popular.

At the cultural center of four seasons, wedding parties gather for Rey production courses (much more fun than you expected), Hawaiian four-string lessons, Hawaiian sewing and learning local knowledge.

But it’s not only the locals that are filled with romantic islands – it’s also the land. Roughly splattered with black lava rocks, it is for outdoor adventure lovers.

Kona is the main airport on the island, the largest town, and the ideal habitat for your wedding weekend; its other five-star resort is Rosewood.

From here, the two-hour crossing crossing of the angry crater glows and steam is not to be missed.

These beaches are usually rural and have little protection of life (and be careful – the trends can be strong), but the reef life is as rich as remote Indonesia and pure Maldives. Just avoid hitting a turtle, which is a major violation.

Wedding planner Alyssa Alinato warned: “That island is not as sexy as I thought it was because you can’t really swim in the water. It’s tough.”

But, of course, you can – should. Just don’t be fascinated by the soft surfing wading from the perfect white sand. Head to the two-step aquarium waters of Honaunau Bay or visit the turtles at Kahalu’u Beach Park, known for their coarse salt and pepper sand.

“We are able to attract many different types of couples,” Manchester said. “We have weddings on the bluff that overlooks the coast. Our feet have weddings on the beach. We have weddings on the beautiful lawn on the ocean. This is what you want Any experience you have, but it all has a real sense of status.”
