Kahu Michaela Lehuanani Larson, Officiant
A Sign & Go marriage ceremony, also known as a 'marriage license signing,' 'signature service,' or 'signing only' ceremony, is a simple option for couples who wish to be married by an officiant without a traditional wedding or elopement celebration. Most couples plan on doing something at a later time with family.
Meet at my office, for a short and sweet ceremony under the plumeria tree.
