Ho‘i hou ke aloha. Fall in love all over again.
Weddings of Hawaii offers complimentary vow renewal ceremonies weekly to registered guests of Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. We invite you to renew your vows in a unique Hawaiian ceremony, with the rising sun, the ocean, and the beach as your witnesses. Ho‘ao Pa‘a was the ancient custom by which a couple was bound in lasting union. We utilize many of its powerful elements in our Vow Renewal Ceremony.
Ho‘i hou ke aloha
To fall in love all over again
This is the theme of the ceremony itself, with the oral traditions of chant and prayer.
Puka mai ka hikina a ka la
The rising of the eastern sun
The ceremony begins at the start of a new day, putting you in touch with the elements...
the sand at your feet, waves gently lapping on the shore, soft breezes touching your skin.
Ho‘oma‘ema‘eana
The cleansing of life
The ceremonial leader walks into the ocean and offers a powerful chant to cleanse
the past, present, and future, so that love may reign over all things.
