12 Hawaiian Pidgin Bible Passages fo da Wedding

We saw a request for Hawaiian Pidgin wedding readings and vows on Reddit recently, and although we don’t speak Pidgin, we wanted to help. 

 

If you’re planning a Christian Hawaiian wedding ceremony and want to add a personal touch, consider the passages below from the Hawaiian Pidgin Bible (HPB), also known as Da Jesus Book.

 

Hawaiian Pidgin, or Hawaiian Creole English (HCE), is a creole language spoken in Hawaii, as well as by some native speakers in Alaska and on the mainland. It is deeply connected to the land and history of the islands. It’s estimated that 600,000 residents of Hawai’i speak pidgin! And many more speak a mix of pidgin and American English.

 

That’s why access to wedding readings and vow examples in pidgin is so important – to inspire you, help you speak from the heart, and help you create an authentic and personal celebration of love.
