Late yesterday afternoon I had the distinct pleasure of presiding at the marriage of Edith (Edie) Brooks and Wayne Sam-Fong.
Wayne is Hawai’ian and those are Ti Leis that we are wearing, made from the Ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa) . I had never heard of them before. Apparently that type of lei symbolizes good luck and prosperity and are traditionally worn for special occasions like weddings and graduations.
That’s Ian and Audrey in the background on the left.
