WEDDING VOW WITH 
FAMILY LEI EXCHANGE SUGGESTION

This is a great way to involve the families of the bride and groom in the wedding. The groom adorns the brides family members in leis and the bride adorns the groom's family in leis to symbolize the joining of the two families. Wearing the leis make the family members stand out at the wedding and will make them feel special. 
For the ceremony have a "lei carrier" for each the bride and groom. One lei carrier will carry the leis the bride will give to the grooms family and the other will carry the leis the groom will give to the bride's family. When it is time for the bride and groom to present the leis to the family the two lei carriers will assist the bride and groom by handing them the leis.

WEDDING CEREMONY

On behalf of Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name I would like to welcome you to this joyous celebration. The Hawaiian word for love is Aloha. Today we’ve come together to celebrate the special Aloha that exists between Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name and their desire to make their Aloha eternal through the commitment marriage. When two people promise with Aloha in their hearts to share the adventure of life, it is a beautiful moment that they and all of us who are present today will always remember.

Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name you are entering into marriage because you want to be together. You are marrying because you know you will grow more in happiness and Aloha more fully as life-mates. You will belong entirely to each other, one in mind, one in heart, and in all things. No greater blessing of happiness can come to you than to have this devoted Aloha, which you now publicly avow. Keep this understanding of your marriage alive in the days ahead. May your Aloha continuously grow truer and more wonderful with each day you enjoy together.

Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name please hold hands and look into each others eyes.

Do you Groom’s Name, take Bride’s Name, to be your wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health, to cherish with devoted love and faithfulness 'till death do you part.
(I Do.)

Do you Bride’s Name, take, Groom’s Name to be your husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health, to cherish with devoted love and faithfulness 'till death do you part.
(I Do.)

Please take out the wedding rings. Your wedding rings are a symbol of your eternal Aloha for one another and commitment to your marriage. Please join hands and look deeply into each others eyes. Groom’s Name please place the ring on Bride’s Name the ring finger of the left hand and repeat after me.

(Repeat after official):  With this ring/ I, Groom’s Name, pledge to thee Bride’s Name /to have and to hold from this day forward/ for better, for worse/ for richer for poorer/ in sickness and in health/ to love and to cherish/ always and forever/ till death us do part./

Bride’s Name please place the ring on Groom’s Name ring finger on his left hand and repeat after me.

(Repeat after official):  With this ring/ I, Bride’s Name, pledge to thee Groom’s Name /to have and to hold from this day forward/ for better, for worse/ for richer for poorer/ in sickness and in health/ to love and to cherish/ always and forever/ till death us do part./

Marriage is not only the joining together of two people but is also the joining of their families. In Hawaii the giving of a lei is an expression of Aloha and appreciation. Bride’s Name and Groom’s Name would now like to symbolize the joining of their two families by presenting each other’s family members with leis.

Bride’s Name and Groom’s Name you have pledged your eternal Aloha to one another and your commitment to live together faithfully in lawful wedlock. The Hawaiian word for Family is Ohana. Today you have also joined your two families to create one Ohana filled with much Aloha. By the authority vested in me by the laws of the State of State Name , I pronounce you husband and wife. Groom’s Name, you may kiss your bride!  With honor I proudly announce for the first time Mr. & Mrs. Last Name.
