Aloha is the spiritual energy that binds life together, permeating all experiences.  Aloha recognizes itself within each balanced movement; gives itself without thought of return.  Aloha is the responsibility of life to itself - to care, regenerate, heal and love; it's sweet fragrant energy uplifts all humanity.

Dearest (Bride) and (Groom), I greet you and your honored guests with much love and aloha.  It is a true blessing for us all to share in this special day and to be part of the place you have come to in each others hearts.  We celebrate with you on this day your commitment to walk through life united in love and harmony.

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven.  And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.  This is the miracle of love!

Your guests have been invited here today for a very high purpose.  Not just to witness, but to participate with their prayers and blessings for your happiness.  Together we all thank  God who has brought (Bride) and (Groom) together and ask Him always to guide their way.

We now come to the exchange of leis.  As you place these upon each other may they represent the true beauty of this union and the true spirit of aloha that you both share.

(Groom), please place this lei of love on your beautiful bride and express your love for her.
(Bride), please place this lei of love on your cherished groom and express your love for him.

(Bride) and (Groom) I congratulate you on your loves and your commitment to each other.  As you communicate with each other openly and honestly in the glorious present you inspire us all.  You remind us that we are all mirrors for each other.  Let us feel the love and beauty of each moment life has to give us.

(Groom), from this point forward (Bride's) needs will carry the same priority as your own.  Likewise, (Bride) from this point forward (Groom's) needs will be seen to be as important as your own.  You shall not be as two conflicting or competing forces but rather the energies of your lives shall blend into harmony and oneness through the grace of God.  The angels shall dance between you and they will rejoice in the dance of life you do together.  Receive fully God's gifts on this day as He receives so fully the gift of your love for each other.

And so we come, (Bride) and (Groom), to the presentation of rings by which you symbolize and bind your love.
(Bride / Groom), please place this ring on your beloved (Groom's / Bride's) finger and repeat after me:

(Groom / Bride) dearest, with this ring I give to you the promise that from this day forward you shall not walk alone. 
May my heart be your shelter and my arms be your home. 
May God bless you always as my husband and my friend.
May you feel deeply loved, for indeed you are.
May you always see your innocence in my eyes.
With this ring, I give you my heart.
I have no greater gift to give.
I feel so honored to call you my husband.
I feel so blessed to call you mine.
May we feel this joy forever!

I'd now like to ask you to pray with me.
Dear God, please bless this couple.  May their love be nurtured by You, always and forever.  May this marriage be held in Your hands and ministered unto by Your angels.  We dedicate this love to You.  May it serve Your purposes; may it increase Your dominion.  May this man grow strong in the arms of this woman.  May this woman grow glorious in the love of this man.  May the earth be brought closer to heaven through this love.  May all the world be blessed hereby.  Thank You very much.  Amen.

{We bring to mind as well your beautiful children _____ and _____.  We say a special prayer for them now.

Dear God, there are no words for the depth of love that (Bride) and (Groom) have for their children.  We pray for their care and protection.  Please dear God, send Your angels to bless and surround them always.  Show (Bride) and (Groom) how to love them most patiently, to be there for them most fully.  May they learn from them kindness.  May they learn from them strength.  And from their love may they continue to grow and flower into adulthood with the brightest lights for all the world to see.  Thank You God.  Amen.}

(Bride) and (Groom), may this marriage be your sanctuary, your haven for your beautiful family.  I remind you that the God who brought you together and nurtured this relationship is the key to your success as a married couple.  May you allow into your marriage the presence of a mystical third who shall guide your thinking and bless your home.  Call on Him consistently and often.

And now the vows of commitment:

(Bride / Groom), do you take this man/woman to be your lawful wedded husband/wife, to love him/her, nurture and sustain him/her, through times of darkness as well as light, henceforth and forevermore?  Do you promise that times of trouble will not deter you, or tempt you to forsake this love?  Do you commit before God to honor this vow unto all your days?  (Respond, "I do")

And may we celebrate with you in this glorious moment.  For the best gift that you can give to each other is the joy of the precious present.  For yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here, and as you look into each others eyes (Bride) and (Groom), and feel the love that you share, you know that you are truly blessed in the precious present.

May God bless you and celebrate this holy union!

'O ke ao akua me 'oe a mau loa aku.
May God's light shine upon you always.

And now, (Bride) and (Groom), by the authority vested in me by the State of Hawaii, but much more important, by the authority vested in me by the fact that I believe in the power of your agreement this day, the look of love in your eyes, and the seriousness with which you make this commitment; and because I believe my faith is shared by others gathered here, it is my honor and my delight to now pronounce you husband and wife.  You may kiss the bride!

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. And Mrs. ___________!
