Sweethearts Can Renew Vows on Valentine's Day

HAWAII, HONOLULU, WAIKIKI – Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk is making Valentine’s Day 2010 even sweeter by offering guests a chance to renew their romance with a complimentary vow-renewal ceremony on Sunday, February 14, 2010. By incorporating unique Hawaiian-style elements, this non-denominational ceremony will be one that couples remember forever. The celebration of love will take place on Valentine’s Day on the resort’s Grand Lanai.

"Hawaii’s brilliant sunsets, swaying palms and turquoise waters naturally provide a picture-perfect backdrop for romance; our Valentine’s Day vow renewal is a poignant way for couples to honor their love and celebrate their time together in paradise," said Teri Orton, director of sales and marketing for Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk.

Couples participating in the ceremony will exchange a Hawaiian lei symbolizing the unbroken circle of love while repeating to each other the word ALOHA.

"A" Akahi (Kindness)
"L" Lokahi (Harmony)
"O" Oluolu (Polite)
"H" Haahaa (Humility)
"A" Ahonui (Patience)

Following the lei exchange and kiss, couples will then dance to the Hawaiian Wedding Song. This special celebration begins on the resort’s Grand Lanai at 6:15 p.m.
