You will often hear that there aren't any
Catholic destination weddings.
The
Diocese of Honolulu
will help guide you through your Catholic Hawaii wedding. There are many traditional Roman Catholic weddings held in Hawaii. They just take a little extra
planning.
Too be sure, Catholic wedding ceremonies aren't as easy to throw together as most non Catholic destination weddings, but there won't be many extra steps compared to a Catholic wedding at home.
Your first step will be to read the guidelines set forth by the Honolulu Diocese and then to contact your local parish priest. He will help you begin the process.
You will be expected to do the classes and paperwork necessary for all Catholic weddings. Give yourself 6 months to 1 year to plan your wedding. Your local priest will let you know how long the classes and paperwork should take.
The paperwork from your priest to the Honolulu Diocese (or island where you will get married) should be there at least 3 months before the wedding. It is best to also contact them much earlier to arrange for the date of the wedding in the church of your choice.
With the help of your local priest you will have the Catholic Hawaii wedding of your dreams in a beautiful, tropical island.
