Braiding on a Mauli Moon

Tonight as the sun starts his journey over the horizon Pete and I sat and braided lei la'i for two friends who will marry later in the week. They are old friends to one another; a good place to start a marriage. The strength, give-and-take and add-on's necessary to braid lei with two people ... a nice metaphor for a marriage.

The finished lei are in the frig, will be packed in a cooler, and chilled some more (even better if frozen) until it's time for the little ceremony. Teri is an old friend who has known my 'ohana back in Kuli'ou'ou. What a treat to share the goodness of la'i from an island we both love, on an island we live on now. Mahalo Ke Akua ... you're the best!

Aloha piha Teri and Martin!
