LEI EXCHANGE SUGGESTION
The
lei exchange is a nice way to add the Hawaiian tradition of exchanging leis to your
wedding. The lei exchange symbolizes the love exchanged by the bride and groom. For the
lei exchange ceremony the Bride & Groom exchange leis during the first few minutes of
the ceremony. You can do it a few ways:
1) The bride starts off wearing the grooms lei and the groom starts off wearing the
bride's lei.
2) Have flower girls carry the leis and present them to the bride and groom during the
ceremony.
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. In
Hawaii the giving of a lei is an expression of Aloha. Groom’s Name and Bride’s
Name will exchange leis as a symbol of their Aloha for one another. 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.
