Polynesian wedding ceremony Renewing vows in Hawaii reached by seaplane or boat. Couples bringing large wedding parties can celebrate at resorts such as Sheraton Resort Fiji on Denarau Island, and then ﬂy oﬀ to a private island for the honeymoon. Local traditions make a Fijian wedding Linacredibly exotic. The blowing of a conch shell or the beating of the lali (drum) signals the start. Fijian warriors escort the groom to a ﬂower bedecked altar while the bride is transported on a decorated bili bili (raft) or canoe and carried ashore. Often, a village choir will star-spangledweddings Of course, a destination wedding doesn’t have to involve an overseas ﬂight. at Orlando’s Walt Disney World, for example, couples can exchange their vows in a chapel looking out at a castle (Cinderella’s) or celebrate at settings from Mexico to Morocco in Epcot. Florida’s 1,200 miles of beaches, from secluded to resort-studded, offer romantic options for seaside nuptials. Las Vegas, America’s wedding capital, hosts more than 400 weddings every day, according to the Nevada wedding association. Weddings choices include a casual poolside ceremony, an intimate gathering at a chapel, or a glamorous, wedding celebration at a grand hotel. Couples looking for the unusual ﬁnd almost anything is possible, from a medieval minister to perform the ceremony atop the “Eiffel Tower,” to a vow exchange overlooking “St. Mark’s Square” followed by a gondola ride on the Grand Canal. Hip cities from New York to San Francisco, romantic countryside settings from Nantucket to Napa Valley, and mountain towns from Aspen to Lake Tahoe are among the many other popular destination wedding settings across the U.S. Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas offers a variety of themed weddings. be singing and a meke (singing and dancing) accompanies the wedding feast (lovo). Fiji makes it easy to get married. No blood tests, waiting period or residency are required. Supplied in advance with the couples’ original birth certiﬁcates and valid passports (and for remarriages, divorce papers or death certiﬁcate), most resort wedding planners will handle all the details. Nonstop service from Los Angeles, Vancouver and Honolulu on Air Paciﬁc, Fiji’s international airline, also makes Fiji easily accessible from North America. TAHITI Over-water bungalows, lush greenery-cloaked mountain peaks and azure waters make Tahiti and the islands of French Polynesia a favorite with romantics. While wedding ceremonies in Tahiti are not recognized as legal in the U.S., couples can have a civil ceremony at home and then celebrate their vows in a dramatic Polynesian ceremony. Torches and ﬂowers typically decorate the beach, where the bride awaits, surrounded by musicians and dancers performing traditional love songs. The groom arrives by canoe, and the couple is escorted to the Tahitian priest. The priest provides each with a Tahitian name, wraps them in a Tifaifai (wedding quilt) and presents them with a tapa (bark cloth) marriage certiﬁcate. The couple is then carried oﬀ on a huge chair in a procession led by Polynesian warriors. For couples who prefer a more quietly romantic wedding, the Tahitian priest can perform the ceremony on a secluded beach, perhaps accompanied by a few musicians.
