The most important part of any Maui wedding is the Maui wedding
ceremony itself. Although it is sometimes overlooked in the wedding planning
process, where dress shopping and reception planning often take attention, it
is crucial that the Maui wedding ceremony itself be planned and reflect the virtues
and style of the wedding couple.
The wedding ceremony is determined by what kind of
wedding the couple is having and who the officiant will be. For example, a
traditional religious ceremony is different than a ceremony being officiated by
a friend or family member of the couple. Even within the context of a religious
ceremony, there are many different kinds of wedding ceremonies that are
available, from the deeply religious and formal ceremony to a shorter, more
relaxed ceremony.
Many couples choose to integrate their family into the
wedding ceremony, having their parents participate by offering readings or
speaking. In some cases, the families participate in ceremonial touches that
symbolize the joining of two families. Regardless of the type of Maui wedding
ceremony that is held, as long as the ceremony reflects the spirit and style of
the bride and groom it will be considered a success.
