These are true life Luv stories from regular folks just like you
that had a dream of finding True Love and tying the knot
on the island that’s dear to their heart.

We’re your organically grown
‘One Stop Mom & Pop Luv Shop’,
https://mauimarryingman.com/
We offer our personal touch and Deep Natural Spirit
for the ceremonies and expert eye for photography,
and
a lifelong musical passion that allows us to provide an inspiring
‘Soundtrack of Love’.

Upon request:
We integrate this depth of personal connection
into the flow of the ceremony with
a custom ‘Luv story dedication section’
where I point out the rewards of over-coming profound challenges
and the Blessings that came on the other side of
endurance, patients… and finally Transcendence…
The overcoming of life’s challenges and abiding in
Eternal Maui Marital Bliss.

I created a ‘Luv story blessing’
based on original real life Luv Stories.
I ask the couple to share their Luv Story…

What first attracted each of you?
What was the ‘glue’ that made it stick?
Any challenges that had to be overcome,
that ultimately made your love and appreciation stronger?
Goals as a couple, Personal goals, professional goals, and perhaps
Spiritual goals insights and Inspirations…

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Everyone’s Luv Story is unique, special, life & death transcending,
dynamic, full-on, engaging,
and all encompassing…
yet
we all can relate to parts of other’s Luv Stories that
brings us right to the center of our own Being…
with our own struggles and drive for Transcendence.

Find the boundless space of Equanimity within yourself.
Be in Love with all that “Is” …
and you will never be disappointed.

This is the formula for Eternal Maui Marital Bliss.

Consider having a fun filled family photoshoot…
A cell phone camera can only do so much and
can’t capture the whole family at once.
https://mauimarryingman.com/

I can capture High Resolution photos of the family fun
and adventure on our inspiring Tropical Island beaches
and
make it a memorable experience for all.

We have been doing Romantic Maui Beach Vow Renewals
since Pele was knee high to a grasshopper
;-)
Integrating a vow renewal into your family photo shoot
provides a ‘Simply Enchanting’ way to engage the whole family
in a bonding sense of love.
You not only renew your vows as husband and wife…
You also include the family…

A heartfelt experience that they get to witness in person
since when you first got hitched…
They were only a gleam in your eyes
;-)

Luv Stories of Maui Marital Bliss -
Olivia & Misti Kotter's Luv Story
We met in Austin Texas when We were both working in a hotel bar she was bartending and I was a Cocktail waitress, we would both talk about our love for traveling, different cultures and adventure in general. Most of our co-workers knew we had feelings for each other, but we never had the guts to tell each other until the day before she left for vacation she and I went out that night and right before she got out of the taxi we almost kissed.
Since then we both jumped into a most dizzying beautiful romance. From skydiving on one of our first dates, road tripping, traveling to Peru, working in Alaska together and finally...
getting to call her my wife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Olivia & Misti Kotter – Luv Story Blessing
Simply Enchanting Kahakapao Forest Wedding!
The adventures of Life
take us along our journeys towards the great unknown.
No one knows what lies just beyond
the bend of our perceptions….
But our Souls know when we are going the right way,
Or
doing the right thing… In Hawaii it’s called Pono…
It just feels right.
It feels right from the 'Ground of our Being'…
Our Soul also knows a Soulmate
when we are near a dear one…
Even when our earthly minds can’t Conceptualize such
One-ness…
While your co-workers at the hotel bar you both worked
could tell there was a magic Love radiating towards each other,
it took time to find the guts to believe it.
When we find such Divine Love,
it almost feels like they ‘complete’ us.
From our Soul’s perspective, we are
Always Already Alright
and complete,
We were born perfect…
It just takes time to fully Realize our True Nature.
Having finally found our True Love,
our Soulmate is beyond someone that merely seems to
completes us.
Their living example of unconditional love
is there to remind us of
the beauty within us…
especially when we are typically too self-critical
to see that beauty ourselves.
Finding True Love
allows us to share the joy that we experience,
It also allows us the solace of a Soulmate
when we are challenged to the core…
Or even just annoyed about trivial things like bad traffic
or a bothersome customer at work.
For all you have to do is take a few calming breaths
and bring to mind The Four Immeasurable Virtues
that your Soulmate Unconditionally brings to you…
Love, Joy, Compassion and Equanimity.
Radiate this light and Love
to whatever annoying situation you are in.
Just like Sunlight Ripens Fruit…
Imagine all others are positively affected by
the light of this radiance,
Imagine you are able to see those positive qualities
reflected in others
And most importantly,
See those positive qualities
Reflected in your Loved Ones.

Tanya and Paul – Maui'd on the Beach
Luv Story Blessing - By the Maui Marrying man
To meet organically by a close friend
Your potential True Love gets a pass
to meet under the embrace of the inner circle of friends
hair dressers are somewhere between
close friends and personal psychologist 😉

Right from the start you were like friends, family – Ohana

Our Eternal Souls Within us knows a Soulmate when they are near.
Naturally it is Love at first sight…
And it’s hard to lose sight of each other.

It’s not that we need someone to ‘complete us’…
For we are all born perfectly Enlightened Beings…
It is a Blessing to find the comfort within our Soulmate
of the Four Immeasurable Virtues
Love, Joy, Compassion and Equanimity
… Knowing True Bliss is only a hug away.

Our Soulmate brings these qualities
along with the Awareness of the Divinity Within ourselves
that we may not always see…
But our Soulmate sees the Divinity Within us,
And we reflect that Divinity back in the form of our
Love Lights inter mingling together,
Weaving a brighter Light that shines in All the Directions
to connect us with the Divinity of the Universe.

Life becomes a Joy and makes more sense
When we can Abide in the Blissfulness of True Love
A Love that only Two True Soulmates get to experience.

I also integrate into my daily Spiritual practice:
Buddhism, Zen, Tao, Advaita Vedanta, Tibetan Bon Buddhism,
Dzogchen and many other “non-dual” contemplative traditions
that point experientially towards the ineffableness of Spiritual Life
and our place in this Great Mystery.

This has taught me the wisdoms of conventional philosophies and
the Insights acquired through my deep meditation practice...
how we are all one and inseparable from each other …
and all that Is.

Everyone’s Luv Story is unique,
special, life & death transcending, dynamic, full-on, engaging,

The essence of our True Nature of Being is:

You are the Happiness you seek.

Life is full of challenges, and personally, in our own ways
we strive to abide in these euphoric states…

Find the boundless space of Equanimity within yourself.
Be in Love with all that “Is” …
and you will never be disappointed.

This is the formula for Eternal Maui Marital Bliss.

Luv Stories of Maui Marital Bliss
Glenna & Larry – Luv Story
We don't really have a “romantic” love story.
We have been friends for a very long time
and have known each other since high school.
We are in our 60s and we have been together for over 8 years.
We are best friends and find it silly to call each other boyfriend/girlfriend.
We like husband/wife much better. 🙂
We think it is time we make our relationship official!
Larry said that he won't look any different in Hawaii
than he does at home
and that's the truth.
He wears Hawaiian shirts here year-round.
We planned a backyard Hawaiian wedding here in Oregon
but our work has been keeping us too busy to plan.
My son wanted to go to Hawaii a few months ago
so we bought tickets
and planned a short vacation.
Larry and I were talking …
and both of us had the same thought at the same time....
"why don't we just get married on the beach at Maui?"...
So we are "eloping" and will party with friends and family later.
We have their blessing.
They wish they could join us but they love the idea, too.
We love telling people that the Maui Marrying Man is marrying us!
Thank you,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glenna & Larry – Luv Story Blessing
Having known each other since high school,
then to have journeyed thru life’s adventures
and re-discovered
the miracle of Love for each other after all those years
and feeling more like Husband and Wife…
Well…
that’s about as romantic as love really gets.
Hollywood’s version of ‘romantic’ is make believe.
You have the ‘Real Deal’ 😉
I’ve had a number of Hawaiian shirts for decades myself…
Dreamin’ of bein’ where the palm trees sway
near the clear blue warm waters
with the gentle ocean breezes …
With all those Hawaiian shirts…
“Larry Aloha” must have inspired Glenna’s son with Island dreams…
It must have been an ‘easy sell’ and soon had tickets to paradise.
Spontaneity is a Virtue
To be fully present in the moment…
Wherever that moment takes you.
So Welcome – E Komo Mai
Welcome to be Maui’d on the beach
Enjoy Eternal Maui Marital Bliss celebration!

The essence of our True Nature of Being is:
Bliss, Love, Joy, Compassion, and the contentment of Equanimity…
You are the Happiness you seek.
Life is full of challenges, and personally, in our own ways
we strive to abide in these euphoric states…

Often the inspiration to seek the natural Bliss that is our
True Essence,
requires what at times feels like more than we can manifest.
Some folks in desperate need seek out professional help,
others will read self-help books, deepen their Spiritual Insights
and inspiring spiritual writings…
and
often are compelled to expand our Insights into the spiritual philosophies of
Buddhism, Dzogchen, Tao, Zen, Advaita Vedanta and
any contemplative Spiritual Wisdoms that can shine a
Light of Awareness on the darkness we feel
while our search for the place in our Being that reveals this perfection of Grace.
This struggle seems un-fathomable…
until we connect with our True Love.

True Love – In the flash of a moment… perhaps the first kiss…
Has a way of liberating us from our personal pain & suffering
in ways that bring us right to where the highest teachers intended
with their Transmission of their Spiritual scriptures and
sacred philosophies.
The sparkle of your loved one’s grin or a spontaneous hug
is all that is required to perpetuate Eternal Marital Bliss for…
eternity…
and that’s a really long time ..
Timeless is our True Nature... and our True Nature feels like...
Love.

Don’t let “the Honeymoon” ever end!
Allow the Wisdoms of the great spiritual master’s
that I integrate into these Luv Story Blessings
shine a light on the basics of humanity
that will indeed keep us liberated from the pain and suffering
that those with an un-prepared mind inherently endures.

Let it go.
Let it Be.
Be here Now.
Expand your Circle of embrace…
Infinitely…

Experience the perfection within the ever-present moment…
and
you will abide in Eternal Bliss.

If you find that the chaos of the world infuriates you...
Realize ...
that is the 'reality' of the situation...
and to argue with reality...
is a sure way towards a future with
straight jackets and padded walls.
:-O

Find the boundless space of Equanimity within yourself.
Be in Love with all that “Is” …
and you will never be disappointed.

Love Stories of Maui Marital Bliss
https://mauimarryingman.com/
James & Stephanie Booth – Luv Story
We met in 2003 on a beautiful Spring day & truthfully,
I think we fell in love that moment.
He swept me off my feet!
We are very blessed & grateful for each other.
We have been through close family deaths, debilitating illnesses
and serious problems early on in our relationship.
Through it all, we became bonded so strong to one another
which makes our love for each other at our top priority in our life.

We lead our life together in a fun lighthearted way
and never take ourselves too seriously.
We enjoy the simplest of moments together
and never take those moments for granted.
We get angry infrequently but when we do, we make up quickly.

We are patient and kind to each other every day
and always tell one another I Love You at least 6 times a day!

I think that sums us up!
The renewal will be on our 14th anniversary
as we met in March 2003
& got married on Jim's Birthday 6 1/2 months later on 10/10/03!
If you could mention that it's his birthday that would be great too.
We are so looking forward to our renewal!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James & Stephanie Booth – Luv Story Blessing

You must have been at the right place at the right time…
On that spring day in 2003.

Together you have endured the most challenging of human experiences.
Often our most challenging struggles turn out to be
‘Doors to Transcendence’.
And through those soul shaking challenges,
a deeper Compassion was born.
Also,
Equanimity was required in order to keep an even keel during those times.
Unconditional Love was brought to the forefront of your Beings.
Joy would forevermore be witnessed in all its Glory
in every precious moment.

You have learned by experience, the Four Immeasurable Virtues.
Compassion, Joy, Loving kindness and Equanimity.
And it is obvious by your ‘glow’ and perspectives…
That it is serving you and everyone you meet well.

Your Luv Story sounds like the formula for living ‘Happily Ever After’,
1st Corinthians even mentions a line from Your Luv Story…
We are “patient and kind”…
And this day
starts the chapter in your Book of Love entitled,
“Living Happily Ever After”.
&
Happy Birthday Jim!
You get the best present every year with your
True Love anniversary ;-)
…and you’re not likely to forget your anniversary…
this could also be a formula for sustain Marital Bliss ;-)

Love Stories of Maui Marital Bliss
Bill and Debbie’s Luv Story
We met at a mutual friends Christmas party 11 years ago
through an introduction by Debbie’s friend Terry.
We talked for hours and enjoyed each other’s company and exchanged emails to plan another date.
After a couple of emails back and forth
we were able to set up a date in the New Year
to meet for a couple of drinks.
We had a good time and another dinner date at Debbie’s apartment was scheduled.

At our next date we drank Debbie’s roommate’s Dom Perignon Champagne, ate a pizza and fell in love.
This became our traditional romantic dinner throughout our dating like Valentine’s Day or New Years Eve and even when
I asked Debbie to marry me,
we had Champagne and pizza after she said YES!

We then spent the next several years dating and traveling/vacationing together and enjoying each other’s company.
We enjoy each other’s family and friends
and look forward to events with them.
We eventually moved in together about 5 years ago
and things are still going great!

Now we are looking toward the future and growing old
gracefully together as a married couple
and continuing our journey happily in love together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill and Debbie’s Luv Story Blessing

Meeting ‘organically’ at a mutual friend’s Christmas party,
Is like already being part of the same family…
a family of friends…
This already has a huge connectedness.

Meeting under such festive circumstances…
Then falling in love after enjoying festive food and
choice champagne…
Is the formula
for a fantastically festive and fabulously fun family forever.

My wife and I fell in love with each other and pizza also,
Our wedding was catered by our long-time pizza guy😉

In life,
no matter how well things are going…
It’s so much more enjoyable with the company of True Love.
And
this is even more so when we face hard challenges.

Even mundane decisions are made easy
by bouncing thoughts and ideas off each other.

The sounding board of inspiration is a subtle
but profound contentment for those in True Love
as they Gracefully grow Wiser together with age.

Finding True Love and Living Happily Ever After
is what everyone dreams of…
And
when you find someone that fulfills that dream….
Then Life is Blessed with Marital Bliss.

Love Stories of Maui Marital Bliss
Shaunna & Allen Luv Story – Our Luv Story
Alan and I were both jaded in love and had no intentions of dating again.
We had been hurt too many times before and didn’t believe real love existed.
I had been out to dinner with a girlfriend and she needed to go home.
I wasn’t ready to go home and decided to go to a new bar in town for a beer.
I walked into the small bar and happened to see a friend of mine from years before
that I had not seen in almost ten years.
She was a coworker from a previous job.
I grabbed my beer and sat down in an empty chair beside her to say hello.
I don’t typically do that, just sit down and talk to someone,
but something gave me the courage to do so.
I did not realize it was pool league night and her team were in the middle of a match.
Alan was at the table shooting and it was his chair I “stole.”
He comes back to the table and sees me there and we began talking.
He and my friend were good friends and he remembers thinking if I was mutual friends,
I must be someone worth knowing.
Alan and I talked about our lives,
he had just returned from a weekend in Atlanta, a place he used to live.
He was at Dragoncon, an Atlanta Con festival.
As he was telling me about the trip, I was excited because
I had always wanted to go to that convention.
He showed me pictures of actors he met, and I recognized them immediately.
He and I were both huge sci-fi fans and the actors were in my favorite tv show.
The show was his favorite as well.
He didn’t believe that I knew of the show, not many people did.
I had to prove it to him and slyly gave him my number for him to call.
My ringtone was the tv show’s theme song.
We talked for hours, and after I get home, I received a text that said, “I can’t believe you know Stargate.” (Name of the show) on a side note Stargate had been a comfort to both of us. We both were fans and would enjoy watching to escape from very difficult lives. We had no idea that we had so many connections, mutual friends, even same employers at different times, but never met. Until the time was right. Side note: We went to Dragoncon together a year ago and we were able to tell the actors how much the show means to us and had brought us together.
The rest is history. We enjoy spending time together and hate being apart. Our favorite saying is “We are we”. We are best friends on top of everything else we share. We enjoy a love deeper than anything else we have ever known. We have both been married twice before, to people who didn’t appreciate what we were. We both were the one who loved more and had given up on love. We even talked about it the night we met, that we always loved more.
I know I told you on the phone but wanted to include how the trip to Maui happened. Alan had been there as a teenager with his family and loved it. He remembers clearly thinking it was the most romantic place on earth and would love to get married there one day. He told me that, but I had not told anyone. My mother is terminally ill and in kidney failure. She has to go to dialysis three times a week and is in a tremendous amount of pain. She called me out of the blue and said she wanted to pay for us to get married on the beach in Maui. I asked if I had mentioned Hawaii or anything and she said no, that she just knew we were supposed to marry there.
Who would have thought a southern boy who grew up in Memphis, moved to Atlanta, then to Kansas on a whim would meet the girl who was an Air Force brat and lived all over the country would meet? I have lived in Florida, Alaska, Utah, and Kansas. We both feel like the past relationships, moves, ups and downs, all brought us to be the people we needed to be at the perfect time for us to meet.
We will be celebrating our third anniversary September 4th, the day we travel to Hawaii. The last three years we have been through deep waters. Some days he holds me up, and some days I hold him up. Previous relationships we had the other person give up and we were left to struggle alone. This relationship is different than any we have other known. We can depend on the other to get through the hard stuff. We have had health scares, kids who needed help, parents who needed help, job changes, bills, and moving, yet we have forged through it all together.
We are happier than ever. This is the relationship we never dared to hope for. We both feel that we could never get through this life without the other. We both hates being apart and countdown to time we can be together.
We are we.
------------------------------------------------------
Shaunna & Allen Luv Story Blessing
We are We.
To have met with such apparent ‘happenstance’…
A seemingly random intersection of souls going with the flow of our journeys.
In life we often can’t really know true love…
Until we have experienced a love not so true.
Although we are all full and complete beings…
We are still on a journey towards whatever is awaiting us
just beyond the bend of our perceptions…
Having the comfort of True Love helps us take it all in stride
as we bump along the road of life.
Not to just say that each other ‘completes’ the other.
For we are already complete Beings…
But the True Love of a Soul Mate helps manifest
the inspirations to fulfill our higher calling.
And abide in the calming equanimity of True Love.
Shaunna’s mom passed away before the wedding….
I know it must be hard for you, as a lifetime of reassuring memories
of the dearest of relationships, we can have here on our journeys through life.
Be happy for your Mom…
and be happy for yourself,
for all the love your Mom gave to you is Always Already Alright
and within you.
When we move from here to that place that is…
just beyond the bend of our perceptions,
They say we become at One with it all.
So in that sense, whenever you see things of natural beauty,
know that your Mom is part of that Divine Splendor.
She is that sparkle on a body of water on a moonlit night.
She is the reflection from a dew drop resting on a morning flower.
She is the unconditional love within you that she helps create.
Know that she is indeed in a better place,
a place more real than what we can possibly know now.
Be good to yourself, and celebrate her life…
as there is really nothing to mourn…
Only to celebrate her life and love 😉
————
Luv Story Update!
Aloha from Florida!
Alan and I moved to the Pensacola area (Navarre) from Kansas this past May.
Have a blessed evening.
We are loving our beach life and very happily married. ❤️
