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.
