Sacred Maui Hawaii Wedding Ceremony of
Mr. & Mrs. Groom and Bride Newlywed
Performed by Reverend Kedar St. John

Convocation
Rev. Kedar: Aloha & Welcome!
We are gathered here as one, in the presence of God,
our Divine Creator, to join in joyful, spiritual marriage
of Bride & Groom and to bear witness
to the ever-evolving, transforming power of love.
To receive and to radiate love unconditionally is our
highest purpose and our most natural "state of heart."
Love is life's sole reason.
Marriage is an embrace of souls. It is a whole-hearted
dedication to surrender to love, to trust in love, and to learn by love.
Bride & Groom request on this day of celebration
and liberation that each of us gathered here will,
forevermore, give freely of our love,
our loyalty, and our support to their union.
Let us pray.

Invocation
Rev. Kedar: Oh Divine Creator of all this Wonder, Aloha Ke Akua,
we pray that Your Love, Your Light, and Your Joy
may flow through us and around us at this time.
Both Bride & Groom stand before You with heart
and mind open and ready to receive Your Divine
Inspiration, Clarity, and Truth. We pray that You touch
their hearts with Your presence.
May all of us who gather here as witnesses to the marriage
of Bride & Groom be blessed and uplifted.
Please be with us, dear Lord.
As we all say, Amen.

Prayer
Rev. Kedar: God is Love, and those who live in Love
live in God, and God lives in them.
Almighty God, we pray that you inspire us
to become ever clearer emissaries of Thy Love,
of Thy Light, and of Thy Truth.
Guide us Lord to fill each and every day of our life
with ever greater acts of kindness, acts of joy, acts of love.
May this world and all who, dwell upon it be blessed
this day and uplifted forevermore.

Give them the courage and inspiration to honor joyfully
the vows of marriage they make here today.
