Aloha and congratulations!

The Honolulu Advertiser invites Hawai'i couples to announce their weddings and engagements in the Island Life section of the Sunday newspaper and on our Web site. This service is free, and participation is voluntary. At least one person must be a current or former Hawai'i resident or Hawai'i-stationed military member.

You can mail your announcement to The Advertiser via one of the addresses below. None of your street addresses or telephone numbers will be published or given out; they are needed only for verification purposes.

You can also submit your announcement using our online form.

Engagements will be announced no earlier than six months before the wedding. Attach a photocopy of any one of the following: your official marriage license; your contract with the hotel, church or other wedding venue; or a signed letter from the wedding official. Weddings are announced up to six months after the ceremony. Attach a photocopy of the official state-issued wedding certificate. We cannot print announcements without these documents.

Here's the legal stuff: submissions may be edited for length, accuracy and clarity. By submitting a photograph and/or announcement information, you grant The Honolulu Advertiser the right to publish, distribute, archive and otherwise use the photograph and information, in whole or in part, in print, electronic or any other media and for promotional purposes related to The Advertiser's products and services. In addition, you represent that you have the right to authorize The Advertiser to use the photograph and information submitted.
