Lei Greeting – Option Two
In Hawaii, it’s customary for a bride and groom to greet each other with a lei on their wedding day. In celebration of your wedding, you have chosen to adorn each other with these two leis. Groom, as you place this lei over Bride’s head and shoulders, you are welcoming her into your heart, your home, your life, your family, and greeting her as your partner in the continuation of your lives together. Bride, as you place this lei over Groom’s head and shoulders, you are welcoming him into your heart, your home, your life, your family, and inviting him to be your partner through the continuation of your lives together. Once the flowers are gone and the words we speak here drift off into the winds of time, may the memory and meaning of this ceremony today linger as a sweet embrace that affects your life from this moment forward.
