Dear Penei,
We just want to thank you and Dard, and of course also Heather and Lynn, for the wonderful wedding we had. You really made it special. We think it wasjust perfect. We had a wonderful time on Hawaii and arrived home two days ago after
spending the rest of our vacation in California. We will surely come back to Hawaii. Now we are looking forward to getting Heather's pictures and then the video. Of course everybody wants to see pictures of our Hawaiian wedding.

Aloha,
Patrick & Sabine

Dear Rev. Dard Aller,
Thank you very much for performing our Wedding Ceremony.  We were touched and inspired by your words of wisdom and blessings.  "A Bay" was a spectacular setting for the most memorable moment of our lives.
Blessings,  Michael and Coby

"We can't express how much we loved our ceremony.  We keep telling each other, 'Wow.  Can you believe how great our wedding was?'  We've now become wedding snobs - thinking ours was the best one we've ever seen.  We can't believe our good fortune at choosing you out of all the confusing options.  You really took your time with us."  - Chris and Amy

Much like your decision to marry, a decision which requires belief, faith and trust, so too is the decision you must make regarding who will officiate, and bless with song and presence, your wedding ceremony.  It is almost an intuitive decision, for all one has is a name, a telephone number, a website, posted photographs and testimonials.  Not much else to go on with miles and time zones separating one from the place of the marriage site. So, the decision regarding two of the most important people to become a part of your life is made with belief, faith and trust.  And, it can only be that as the miracle of your marriage unfolds before you that you know the choice of Dard and Penei was truly the blessing received when one believes.  Kathryn

Hi Penei! We just wanted to thank you for the amazing wedding ceremony March 25, 2003. Our wedding ceremony was above and beyond our greatest expectations. We were nervous about the wedding, however, the moment we met you we felt completely at ease. The singing in the ceremony, as well as the special touches like the lei exchange, made our wedding wonderfully unique and suited the beautiful Hawaiian setting. Your words were very romantic yet practical and at several points we felt as if they had been written just for us. Although you must perform wedding ceremonies freqently you made us feel as if our love had touched you. I feel so grateful that we chose you to perform our ceremony. The combination of a beautiful ceremony and the amazing oceanside setting of the Place of Refuge created a wedding that fulfilled our greatest hopes and dreams.
Thank you. ~ Lara & Shane Cross

Greetings from Canada!

We would like to thank both of you for making our wedding so perfect. Penei, I appreciate so much all of the effort you put into planning our wedding, and the countless emails you answered from me – thanks to you we had no worries at all. We absolutely loved the hibiscus leis!  Dard, your ceremony was totally breathtaking, just as the scenery was. It was also a pleasure to meet you – we felt so comfortable with you, like we had met before. I cannot even imagine a more perfect day – we will treasure it always.  Even today we ache to be back in Hawaii. In a couple of weeks we are having a reception for our family and we can’t wait to show everyone the wedding video!

Warmest aloha to you both.  Thanks for sharing in our most special day.

Dear Dard and Penei,  Aloha!  Neil & I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for making our wedding so special.  It is hard to describe the energy and spirit to anyone that wasn't there.  The Hawaiian wedding ceremony perfectly reflected our thoughts on the analogies between love, life and nature.  We are so grateful to have met you both.   Laura & Neil Fraser
