"I wish to express my extreme gratitude to Lona Lyons for the absolutely awesome services she performed. First of all, the wedding ceremony on the beach at Kikaua Point was beyond my wildest dreams. It was indeed a fairy tale come true. It was the happiest day of my entire life. After my beautiful wife, the love of my life, passed away, Lona went way beyond my expectations to create a memorial CD; then later, at my request, several memorial DVDs. These DVDs were very professionally created and done within my requested timeframe, which was, to be totally honest, very inconvenient (for her). Nevertheless, Lona made the extra effort to go above and beyond all normal expectations and delivered everything within the requested time. She is an extremely awesome person, very spiritual, and I would personally recommend her. Lona is blessed with a natural gift and talent and you will not find anyone else who is willing to put such personal effort and caring into meeting your personal needs. I owe her many, many thanks."

"P.S. The check hasn't shown up yet. The mail carrier took it on his coffee break to change the address and spilled jelly doughnut filling on it. Then, it stuck to someone else's mail that went to Australia. Once there, it was discovered by an elderly retired librarian and she painstakingly steamed the extra envelope off the one that belonged to her and launched a full-scale investigation. But she has a weakness for the drink and whiskey makes her eyesight blurred. Consequently, she sent my envelope on to Havana instead of Hawaii. A famous salsa dancer intercepted it, but alas, his boat for Florida was leaving so he tucked it in his life vest and took it along. The too-crowded boat capsized, but fortunately, Lorenzo had been on his high school swimming team and made it safely to shore, as did the envelope. Lorenzo called me collect and it turns out that his English is actually quite good. In fact, we fell in love on the phone and he is now hitchhiking to the West Coast where he will board a tramp steamer for the Big Island to meet his one true love and deliver the envelope in person. We will be married soon and we both want you to come to the wedding. We plan to have many children. We will serve jelly doughnuts with whiskey chasers instead of wedding cake."

Romance Tip #1: Ask your wedding coordinator about ways to surprise your partner with a moving tribute during your ceremony on the Big Island of Hawaii. Having a limousine waiting to take you to and from your romantic beach wedding will make your day even more memorable -- You can spend your time in the limo whispering sweet nothings!

Romance Tip #2: A butterfly release is a symbol of the transformation that is occurring in your lives as you become partners for life with your wedding or commitment ceremony. Their graceful flight patterns will fill you with awe and add even more magic to your day!

Romance Tip #3: Live music is the perfect accompaniment to a romantic beach wedding. A Hawaiian singer and guitarist will sing love songs and the Hawaiian Wedding Song at your ceremony for an incomparable touch of romance.  A harpist or violinist will add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your ceremony.

Romance Tip #4:  Instead of watching television at night, take a spur-of-the-moment moonlit drive along the shore, through the woods or over rolling hills. Make a wish on the moon for your lives together.
