Hawaiian Permits and Licenses

Hello everyone,

My partner and I are planning all our things and I was wondering if I need any wedding permits and the answer has been unclear for our situation. First, I would like to state that I’m trying to be as respectful of all laws etc as possible and don’t want to come off in any way. So here’s what we’re thinking: we get legally married at the courthouse in our town. Then we go on our “honeymoon” to Hawaii (still trying to decide the island so if you have opinions on islands in September, I’ll take them). We go with our best friends so in total, it’s four people: us and the other couple. With them present, we have a little exchange of vows. I will probably bring my wedding dress to wear during this. So now here’s the question: do I need a permit for a non-legal ceremony with four people? And where/how do I go about that?
