Surfing instructor? Nope. Hula dancer? Negative. Lei stringer? Mmm, not quite. In fact, with more than 15,000 couples flying over Pacific waters to marry here every year, the job-of-the-moment is—you guessed it—wedding planning. "I Do" Experts Travel to any of the Aloha State’s six isles and you’ll find that these I-do experts are almost as ubiquitous as palm trees. You’ll see them toting voluminous Rolodexes stuffed with numbers for everyone from ukulele ensembles to fire-eaters, chocolatiers to florists, photographers to traditional Polynesian officiants. Distance is nothing to these gurus, who routinely work with couples all over the world—dashing off detailed e-mails that will be waiting for you when you log on in the a.m., scanning snaps of tropical floral arrangements, so brilliant that their aroma practically wafts off your screen, and mailing CDs of local music groups that the two of you can slow dance to at home. From your flight arrangements to a week’s worth of fun-in-the-sun activities for the wedding party, coordinators will do anything to create the poi-fect event—even if the only guest you’re planning on inviting is the sunset. Low-Stress Specialists Couples who want a low-stress affair leave the arranging to the wedding specialist at their resort, or hire an independent on-island coordinator. Though most professionals suggest starting the process as early as possible, especially for a large ceremony (ideally six months to one year), many can whip up a simple celebration in 24 hours—as long as you bring the bare essentials (government-issued photo IDs and a $60 marriage-license fee). Staying on after your vows? Your hotel may just treat you to some bubbly and an upgrade. Which brings us to the very best part of tying the knot in Hawaii. Instead of spending the first day of your married life on an airplane, you’ll be able to start your honeymoon the way the nuptial gods intended—in paradise. —Sally Brady Hawaii Wedding Countdown Checklist Hawaii Wedding Style Real Hawaii Wedding: Holly & Jeremy Getting Married in : Oahu Maui Big Island Kauai Molokai Lanai Brides.com Home | Fashion | Beauty | Wedding Style | Etiquette & Planning | Registry Ideas | Honeymoon | Real Brides Local Planning | Shop Online | Prizes and Offers | Newsletter | Privacy Policy | -- Advertise With Us | Contact Us Brides magazine In This Issue | Subscribe | Customer Care | Media Kit | Bookstore Fairchild Bridal Group Wedding Planning Sites: Brides.com | ModernBride.com | ElegantBride.com Prom Planning Site: YourProm.com Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy .© Fairchild Internet, Inc.

Pineapple Still grown in Hawaii, fresh pineapple can almost always be found at a luau, often in chunks at the salad area. Pipikaula Hawaiian-style beef jerky Poi One of the staple foods of the Hawaiian diet, poi is a thick, purple-colored paste made by pounding taro. Poi can be bought fresh or "day-old," which allows a sour flavor to develop. Poi is labeled "one-finger," "two-finger" or "three-finger" to describe its consistency--the thicker the poi, the fewer fingers needed to scoop it up. Today, is it used in many Hawaiian recipes or served as a side dish. Poi Dinner Rolls These delicious purple-colored rolls made from taro flour are a staple at almost every luau.

Portuguese Sweet Bread Portuguese sweet bread (pao doce), sometimes labeled Hawaiian sweet bread, is a staple and good for making French toast in the morning. Pupu The pupu platter found at many luaus is basically a platter of hors d'oeuvres, island style. Sweet Potatoes A delicious side-dish found at almost every luau in Hawaii. Teriyaki Beef A Japanese favorite of beef marinated in teriyaki sauce and island seasonings and then broiled or grilled. The same recipe can also be used with chicken. Ti Leaves Ti leaves are used in Hawaiian cooking to wrap foods that are to be cooked. The leaves are removed before the food is eaten. Dried ti leaves, which can be found in some ethnic markets, must be soaked to soften before they can be used. Taro Also known as kalo , taro leaves are eaten as a vegetable or wrapped around fish and meats. The root is cooked and pounded into poi .

Hawaiian music fans outside

HAWAIIAN MUSIC LYRICS -- LIST OF LINKS HAWAIIAN MUSIC LYRICS -- WEBSITES MELE.COM does not provide lyrics all requests will be directed to this page, with links to sites/businesses which provide lyrics (some also provide translation and chords) The first place to look for lyrics, is in the liner notes of every CD which includes the song (to find recordings of a specific song, click "Search" on the MELE.COM front page, and follow instructions given) Pa'a ka waha, nana ka maka; hana ka lima. Shut the mouth; observe with the eyes; work with the hands. (One learns by listening, observing and doing.) This was the traditional method for learning Hawaiian songs, as one sat near a musician as s/he played. Songs and tunings were passed down through generations of families -- from kupuna (elder) to keiki (child). Hawaiian songs were rarely (if ever) put in writing, not even the lyrics. Very few musicians in Hawai`i could read music, so this was how the songs were perpetuated. Even today, many of the "top" musicians in Hawai`i do not read sheet music...they learn the old way, or from listening to a particular song over and over (on tape or CD) and playing along until they feel ready to play the song in public. Hawaiian music fans outside the islands -- in their eagerness to learn the lyrics and translations of their favorite songs -- are often dismayed to find that they may, too, have to learn "the old way". While some Hawaiian CDs include this information in their liner notes, many do not. Harry's Music (O`ahu) for Hawaiian sheet music.
