I attended Ryan and Jodie’s wedding on Saturday, October 24, 2009 from 5:30 P.M. at Waialae Country Club. I went early to help set up their Kahala Hilton reception suite and led the invocation at their wedding reception.
My invocation:
I am honored to do the invocation for this wonderful evening. Could you kindly join me in prayer.
To our lord, our teachers of compassion, Ryan and Jodie’s loved ones who passed away, and all of Ryan and Jodie’s ancestors, thank you for the love and friendship between Ryan and Jodie. Thank you for this wonderful couple’s family and friends who care so much for them. Also, thank you for watching over Ryan and Jodie throughout their lives and sending them so much positive energy. We truly appreciate the happiness we all share with each other.
Finally, thank you for the food we are about to partake in tonight. Itadakimasu. Please enjoy your meals. Mahalo.
