"O'pea" is the Hawaiian form of hand-fasting... the cords for binding were made with the leaves of the ti plant. The recitation of a Hand Blessing was included as part of this very meaningful ritual.

here, the "lasso (symbolizing unity)" and "arras (exchange of coins)" were incor-
-porated into the ceremony to represent Nick's Mexican heritage.
