I emailed Lori from TropicalMauiWeddings the other day regarding what we are wanting as our officiant. Our criteria: an officiant who can blow a conch shell and wears a robe.
We want our officiant to wear a robe because we don't want to have to worry about him clashing with anybody's outfits. ha ha. I know. Lame. Oh well.
And Lori emailed a pastor yesterday and he replied to her to say that he's available and that he's a "Beautiful man". Well, without further ado, here's our pastor!
"Pastor Laki "Pomakai" (meaning "blessed") Kaahumanu was born and raised on the island of Maui. His lineage is of Royal decent: Queen Kaahumanu, favorite wife of the great King Kamehameha, the one who united the Hawaiian Islands, was his great great grandmother. Queen Kaahumanu brought Christianity to her people in the 1820's and Laki has followed in her footsteps, becoming the minister of Harvest Chapel Church of God in 1992 and also establishing a shelter. He is well known all over Maui for his open heart and helping hand. Over the years him and his wife have adopted 16 children and have cared for so many more. In 2006 Laki followed the Lord's calling and spent two years in Las Vegas, helping and curing as much as he could. He returned to Maui and has founded the "church on the go", becoming an Evangelist. It is truly an honor to be married by this sprititual leader who has brought so much happiness to our Ohana (family) and will make you a part of his. To Laki his Hawaiian heritage is at the core of his heart which is why he likes to share his Hawaiian traditions and ceremonies with you."
