So you want to announce your wedding, get married or honeymoon (or all of the foregoing) in a special, exciting, splendorous place.
In Hawaii -- on Oahu, Maui, Kauai or the Big Island of Hawaii -- you can create the experiences) you’re dreaming of, and the islands of Lanai and Molokai (where the trimmings are modest by comparison) offer their own unique touches.
Arrange to Propose Your Wedding in Hawaii
You can get a helicopter company to make you a banner that says, “Will you marry me, Lucille (or whoever)?” place it on the ground in a secluded area of the island and fly the two of you over it.
You can arrange to propose -- on stage -- during a show or activity at an authentic Polynesian luau.
If you both Scuba dive or snorkel, you can propose beneath the surface with an underwater writing board and marker.
One wall of a fine restaurant on Oahu faces a three-stories-high aquarium filled with sea creatures. A diver who enters the tank to feed the fish several times a day will bring a sign with your proposal to your tableside (literally) as you dine.
Your Wedding Ceremony
You can pretty much pick your spot. On a beautiful beach, by a waterfall, in a botanical garden, on horseback, underwater, on a boat, in a grand or traditional hotel, on the summit of a real volcano (even one that’s spewing real lava!), in the oceanfront yard of a magnificent private home … the possibilities boggle the romantic mind! And each of Hawaii’s churches offers its own ambience and splendor.
Licenses are a snap to get in Hawaii. You can do it in an hour, for $60. (You both have to be there.)
Your Wedding Honeymoon
If you’re married on one Hawaii island, consider honeymooning on another. Each island is unique.
Oahu is busy, with the most attractions, lots of scenery and an urban flavor.
Maui has magnificent resorts, a whaling past, amazing scenery and the awesome Haleakala – a dormant volcano whose crater could contain the entire island of Manhattan.
Kauai is lush, rural and pretty laid-back. Its incredible scenery has lured production for more than 60 feature movies and television shows.
The Big Island of Hawaii is amazing. Breathtaking scenery, active volcano action, posh resorts, rustic rangeland country and wintertime snowcapped peaks merely minutes from seaside sun basking.
Each of the little islands of Lanai and Molokai offers a special, intimate and relatively private ambience. Count on lovely resorts, awesome natural beauty, splendid golf, deserted beaches, no traffic, and wonderful, welcoming people.
