Welcome. We have gathered her today to celebrate Charles and Kapualeilani, as they make a promise of love and commitment to one another.

What a gift and joy to find someone with whom to spend our life! Committing to share our brightest days and weather our darkest nights with someone is no small thing and cannot be done lightly. Commitment is about trust. It’s about patience, forgiveness, devotion, and hope. It’s what happens when a relationship becomes a home – a place of safety and love – to which each partner can return, again and again.

As we reflect on the profound power of trust and commitment to create strong and lasting families, we look to those who have been most touched by the love between and .

Do you, Charles, promise to spend your life with Kapualeilani, meeting each new joy and sorrow together, continuing to deepen your understanding of them, treating them with kindness and compassion, and welcoming each new chapter of life together with a spirit of curiosity and patience?

Charles: I do.

Do you, Kapualeilani, promise to spend your life with Charles, meeting each new joy and sorrow together, continuing to deepen your understanding of them, treating them with kindness and compassion, and welcoming each new chapter of life together with a spirit of curiosity and patience?

Kapualeilani: I do.

Charles and Kapualeilani will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment.

The couple say their personal vows and place the ring on their partner’s finger.

By the authority vested in me, and with the trust of you here today, I now declare you joined in love. You may now kiss.
