KELEHUA KAWAI

Aloha!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Thank you so much for confirming your upcoming wedding ceremony through Marry You in Hawaii/Kelehua Kawai.  We are honored to be a part of your special day and hope that you are safe and well.

Officiant: Kelehua Kawai (copied on this email) 808-342-1710.  

If you haven’t already, would you please let us know who your planner (if using one), photographer and videographer are?

Also, if you have an engagement photo or other photo you'd like to share, we would love to post it on our IG page along with something about you like how you met, how you got engaged, or anything you'd like to share.  We'd love to know you better and share your stories!  Please send that along with your IG names, if you'd like.

Also, if you would please complete this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaquYryulPmlm8i3TInSRKNpE3gpl31GF4mr2uOVAZJMLfZw/viewform?usp=pp_url

for your ceremony, that will help Kelehua better work with you. I’m attaching an outline of her ceremony here.

GETTING MARRIED LEGALLY

Also, to be legally married in Hawaii, both of you will need to go together to the Department of Health within 30 days of your ceremony on a weekday between 8 - 4 to get your marriage license.  Please bring that license with you to the ceremony so that Kelehua may legally marry you.  You may find details about that here at: http://health.hawaii.gov/vitalrecords/marriage-licenses/  Please note that once she submits your license that those will be your forever names so please be sure when you fill that out! 

THE WEATHER

Although we like to think we always have beautiful weather here, the weather can change on a moments notice.  Unlike the continental U.S. or perhaps other places in the world, the 10-day weather forecast in Hawaii is not very accurate.  If you see it will rain on your wedding day, a week away, please don’t let that get your down.  Weather can be very predictable and you truly just need about 30 minutes of clear weather for the ceremony. It’s also said that if it rains on your wedding day that it’s a blessing.

OTHER VENDORS

If you need any assistance finding any other vendors on the island, let us know and we are happy to connect you with others to help your day go smoothly.

TIMELINE

Within 30 days (or further out) would be when you finalize your ceremony.  Consider vow books if you are writing your own vows and give yourself enough time to order those.

If you are thinking of writing your own vows, don’t wait until the last minute for this.  Give yourself a lot of time to work on this.  If you are thinking of personalizing your ceremony or incorporating cultural elements, this is where you can truly make your ceremony your own, just don’t wait until the last minute.

Thank you again, we are so excited to be a part of your day. If there is anything we can do to assist, please let us know.  

Mahalo,
Loren
