A wedding or honeymoon in Hawaii is bound to be romantic;
picture a tropical beach at sunset, hibiscus flowers scattered in
the sand, an exotic luau reception... This paradise is the perfect
setting from which to start a new life together. The word
Aloha is used in Hawaii to greet each other and to show love
and care, sentiments which are extended by the friendly locals to
island visitors. There are beachfront hotels, resorts and villas
available to provide beautiful wedding and honeymoon venues.
Year-round good weather makes Hawaii an even more desirable
location.
Wedding and Honeymoon things to see and do
Hawaii has so many things to see and do while there for a
wedding or honeymoon. There are of course the stunning beaches
of Oahu and Maui to spend time on, but visitors will also be
impressed with the treasures of Honolulu's Chinatown
or the Valley of
the Temples in Kaneohe. On Maui, hike into Haleakala
Crater or go horse riding on a cattle ranch. The island
of
Kauai has unique scenery; Mount Waialeale is possibly
the wettest area on earth, while Alakai Swamp is the highest swamp
in the world.
Surfing, diving or taking a
cruise ship around the islands are also good options for
anyone with extra time on their hands.
Hawaii Wedding Formalities
To get married in Hawaii, couples must have a marriage
license from the Department of Health before the wedding for the
minister to sign. Valid photo ID's and US$60 cash are required. The
completed marriage license will be sent back to the Department of
Health for processing. This will then be forwarded to the wedding
couple. For more information, couples can visit the Hawaii Department of
Health and Visit Maui or Bridal Dream
Hawaii.
