You also had some good ideas that we were able to incorporate. You also were able to understand my view of looking for a value, and you could have run the price up if you wanted to, but I think you understood what was important to me. Thank you so much for that. The payment for the wedding is what you earned, but the flowers are because of who you are and what a special person you are and I wanted to say thank you for that." Daniel Fisher An important piece of information is that you will need to meet with a licensing agent when in Hawaii before your wedding. All you need to do is complete the application, bring a valid picture ID, be 18 or over, and pay $60 in cash. There may be an additional $5 agent fee. We suggest that you pay the extra $10 fee to rush the processing of the license following your wedding day. This will make it easier for you to proceed with the name change process on your personal documents soon after your wedding.
