Richard's calming spirit (and wonderful Hawaiian chants!) surrounded all in attendance with a comforting feeling of familiarity, a feeling that added a special sense of family to the ceremony. Combined with the setting sun, the ocean's waves and the sand beneath our feet, his soothing words completed the perfect setting for exchanging our wedding vows. If we were to do it again, we wouldn't change a thing and highly recommend Richard, a very special person who helped make our wedding truly unforgettable." - Kim & Patricia Wolfkill

We know that the spirit of the Divine encircled us as we said our vows and promised our love and lives to each other. George and Caroline, Casey and I all have beautiful memories of our wedding on the beach, and all of them include you.

10) "Good Morning Richard! It has now been three weeks since we were all joined together in our beautiful ceremony, that afternoon was absolutely precious to us. It was everything to me personally. The spirit that you are is a pleasure to have met, and a treasure for what you brought to the beginning of our marriage through ceremony. It was a tough day in the world but a beautiful day in our hearts. I remember the beautiful sound of your voice but not the words or translation to your chant. You surprised me with your singing voice, actually it melted me inside over the sound of the ocean... gorgeous. Thank you, we will keep in touch." - With much heart, Susie and Spike Gunderson

11) "Dear Richard, we did not get a chance to properly thank you for being part of our wedding. The ceremony that you performed for us on March 14th at the Kea Lani was just wonderful. Not only did you make our special day unique from any others, you also made it very special for all of our guests. Your kind words brought several of our guests to tears (our maid of honor, especially!) Thank you again, and we hope to visit beautiful Maui in the near future." - Love, Won Bien and Tomoko Lee

12) "Rev Lewis, My wife and I want to again thank you for making our vow renewal something to remember and very special to us. We couldn't have picked a more caring & understanding minister.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and again thank you." - Charlie & Sandy Smith (40th Anniversary Vow Renewal)

14) "Dear Reverend Lewis, we wanted to tell you how wonderful we thought the ceremony was. It was very touching to both of us. We will never forget it! Your words really touched us. And we felt very blessed to have chosen you for our ceremony. You performed such a wonderful ceremony. Not only did we cry but our guests also cried. We felt at such peace having the ceremony outside and you helped us calm our nerves. We feared the worst having a destination wedding, but we could not believe how beautiful everything turned out. It was the most wonderful day of our lives. Once again thank you so much for such a heartwarming and wonderful ceremony! We look forward to hearing from you soon!" - Jason and Laura Dimora Miller

15) "Dear Richard Lewis, I just wanted to thank you for our beautiful wedding ceremony. Both Dave and I thought that your kind and gentle mannerisms helped to calm our nerves and allowed us to focus in on our special moment. I really appreciated your comments to look into one another's eyes and hold hands. I've seen many other ceremonies where the bride and groom focused on the minister during the entire ceremony and miss seeing each other during this important moment. I hope that many more future couples will be able to enjoy your wonderful ceremonies." - Dave and Ivy Engebretson

16) "Dear Reverend Lewis, Jason and I wanted to thank you again for marrying us on May 25, 2005 at Polo Beach. We could not have been any happier with the ceremony that you performed, or the location that you suggested. We still get teary-eyed every time that we
think of our wedding day because it was so perfect! You will always be in our hearts and minds. Thank you for making our special day so incredible!" - Love, Jason and Jill Ellenbecker

You were so wonderful and we don't know how to thank you enough." - Love, Julie & Jaret Wright
