Introduction

Christian Harvest Church of Hawaii dba Kahiko o Ke Akua Ministry Aloha Kakou, hauʻoli mākou e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā lawelawe o kahi haipule a ʻāpono ole hoʻomana Kalikimaka /Hawaiʻi: hana i ka mare , he bapetizo, a i kēlā manawa o ka berevment - lawelawe ʻana i ka lā. (Aloha Kakou, we are happy to offer you the services of a religious or non-religious Christian/Hawaiian: wedding ceremony, the blessing of your home, work place, construction site, family gathering, conference, a one on one Hoʻoponopono-Hawaiian mediation, a baptism, or during that time of berevment - funeral service for your loved one.) We perform ceremonies for all, and very workable with and to meet your needs and desires. We also have a local florist, caterer, photographer and musicians available for hire. Wedding Plans: Island of Oahu booked with more then 30 days in advance. $350 Island of Oahu: booked WITHIN 30 days of event $450 All other islands $1000 I perform both Religious and non-Religious ceremonies. The ceremony may included gospel readings of your choice, a poem or a special message. We start with the call to gather; A blessing; then you recite the lovers poem to each other; the vows; and the blessing of the rings. The Lei exchange: the bride and groom exchange special leis and at this time it also allows the couple to recognize special guests with a lei. I provide the leis for the bride and groom. The Sand ceremony: this ceremony dates back to the time of Pharaoh. When there was no ring exchange, no ceremonial certificate, or no record of a marriage. The couple world bring soil from there home and pour into a vessel, creating a new foundation, symbolizing their unification. Today we use sand to represent the groom and for the bride, glitter of your favorite color and this is pour into a mason jar which represents your unification. You are then given the mason jar to take home. The Hawaiian blessing with translation And the conclusion of the ceremony We end with the pronouncement of the couple. The ceremony takes about 20-30 minutes. I hope this addresses your questions. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns. ********************************************** All rights are reserved by the Christian Harvest Church and Kahu (Minister) Dean Kevin Kapuni Harvest.
