On the one hand, yes. Your wedding is a sacred and personal symbol of your commitment to a new journey with your sweetheart. This journey started way back, when you threw your first communicative glances and uttered your first tentative words. And it was this chance encounter (or fateful encounter depending on how you see it) that led you through your special moments: your first date; your first movie together; the first time you saw the inside of each other's homes; the first time you travelled anywhere together. There is a world all your own that only you and your sweetheart share: the little idiosyncrasies you get to know over time; the does, the don'ts; the hopes and dreams. All of these things create a world of communication all your own and in the end your wedding is an intimate and symbolic gesture to your partner that you are indeed committed to that world. So yes, it is about you. But somewhere along the line other people became intertwined and introduced to the new player in your life (probably right after your first encounter when you told your best friend about the beautiful girl/ handsome guy you met). And from that moment on, there would be an exponential intertwining of lives as word spread throughout the vast network of friends and family on both sidesIn some sense, your insolated, secretive relationship with one another ended and opened up to a vast new world of connections, people, places, ideas, and experiences. Because of your partner, suddenly networks of friends and family intertwine, memories are created and history is made - togetherAnd so, your wedding really becomes about everyone you love! Indeed statistics show (according to Bridal Association of America) the average number of guests at any of the 2.272 million weddings in the US is169. That's right, the average wedding has 169 guests in attendance (not including the wedding crashers!), proving that weddings are a celebration not only of your journey with your sweetheart, but also of your love and gratitude for all your loved-ones. The truth? Not if you're planning your wedding in Hawaii, you won't get 169 guests! In fact, the average couple celebrating their wedding in Hawaii will have only 3 guests in attendance! It's no surprise that families and friends are not able to make the journey to a far-off wedding destination in the middle of the Pacific. For one, it's expensive to get here and guests are required to take extended vacation time from work, their children, pets, and obligations to make it worth it. It's just a fact of life out here. But they all play a role in your lives and your wedding is a time to acknowledge and celebrate them along with your sweetheart! If you feel this way, you now have the option to broadcast your wedding LIVE over the Internet into the homes of all those loved-ones you want to be close by.

Stephan Boeker is a Maui wedding professional who started Live Maui Webcasts when he learned the average wedding couple coming to Hawaii only brings 3 guests. That's in stark contrast to the mainland where on average 169 guests are invited. The reason? Hawaii is expensive to get to and not everyone can make the long journey here. Live Maui Webcasts broadcasts your wedding to your loved ones sitting in the comfort of their own homes. Demo the service at http://livemauiwebcast.com
