Get Married in Maui: It Might be Your Most Important Outing Together

By Honey B. Wackx

If you’re not yet married and plan on eventually tying the marriage knot, how about taking your first trip together to Hawaii to get married. That could be a great way to get married and get away alone to an island paradise. Many wish to see the islands, but haven’t made it there yet.

During the planning of any wedding, couples know that their dream wedding can get out of hand quite quickly. Sometimes, it no longer becomes the dream of the bride and groom but the dream of their friends and family. I’m sure this happens all too often. Sometimes the reality of the extravagant costs overshadows the wedding itself for some couples. The “expected” larger than life wedding can be a big money drain for those who cannot afford it. This can become quite confusing to any couple and once the astronomical expenses are factored in, this happy and most important day in your life can become a nightmare.

Believe it or not, planning a wedding in Maui can cost less and revive that once planned fantasy, turned nightmare, back into reality for the best time of your life. Many couples are choosing the picturesque landscape of Maui for the place they want to exchange their vows. What could be more perfect? With traditional weddings costing in excess of $30,000 or more, couples are turning to the most romantic tropical paradise to begin their lives together.

Your wedding can be as intimate or extravagant as you want it to be. Hawaiians pride themselves on making certain that every single need that you may have on your stay is accounted for. Wedding planners are abundant in Maui and can assist in all of your planning needs. Because you are in Hawaii, included in all wedding ceremonies is also the exchanging of lei’s, which is just one more unique and memorable trinket that you will have to treasure for years to come.

A fairy tale wedding fit for a princess can be arranged if that is to your liking. Again, you can spend as much or as little money as you feel comfortable with. If money is of little or no concern imagine a wedding with a traditional Hawaiian flare. Pamper yourself the day before your wedding as you indulge in a Lomi Lomi massage, a pedicure, facial, and a manicure right in your hotel suite.

A wedding, your wedding, as you and your lifetime partner stand side by side on the shoreline of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world can take place in Maui Hawaii. Holding hands, the warm wind gently blowing you both look amazing, as well as you should for this is the paradise many wish to visit and you are there starting your life together.

Family and friends of your choice are there to witness this once in a lifetime event or maybe no if you so choose. You are surrounded by hula dancers, torch carriers, conch shell blowers, and a Hawaiian singer performing the Hawaiian Wedding Song. Distinct and fragrant flowers line your path and you exchange your wedding vows, your rings, and the traditional lei exchange. Your picture perfect ceremony can end with the two of you releasing doves into the air, or even butterflies as a symbol of unity.

Your reception can be as big or as small, as elegant or as private as you would like for it to be. You could splurge for a private ocean side dinner for both of you or an elegant reception at a restaurant or even in the resort facilities. The choice is yours, one of your first set of decisions together aside from the main decision to get married. You also have the choice to rent or bring your wedding attire with you. Again, this can be as simple or as fancy as you want it to be.

Even though you are in a well known Island paradise you can still have a reasonable priced wedding. If simple is what you are looking for you can have a simple ceremony and spend the rest of your time sunning on the beach or in your private room, undisturbed. After the wedding is over and the reception, if you choose to have one, is history, you can settle down there for the remaining days of your stay. Lay and bask in the sun together, see the many sights, and start off your life together as a married couple on your own terms far away from the influence of friends and family. You need that; it’s a great start together.
