The ceremony
A Hawaiian Ceremony on Secret Beach
A Welcome to Our Beginning sign greeted them on the sand. Our minister opened the ceremony by blowing the conch shell, and later played the ukulele for them, with the lagoon, the palms and the mountains all around.

Cheers
A Sparkling Cider Toast on the Beach
Mateo poured sparkling apple cider into champagne glasses right there on the sand, and they raised a toast by the lagoon before looking out at the ocean together.
A side note: Hawaii law does not allow alcohol on public beaches, so instead we use sparkling apple cider. It comes in a bottle, it is really bubbly and looks just like champagne, but it is non-alcoholic.

The details
Plumeria, Rings & a Visitor
Her shoes, leis and bouquet on the sand, their rings on the plumeria and in a seashell, and one special guest: a Hawaiian monk seal resting on the beach, roped off and protected, as they often are at Ko Olina.
