(AP) — Outdoor weddings on Oahu in Hawaiʻi can now be held outside with a maximum of 100 people after an easing of public health orders related to the coronavirus pandemic. Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi said Friday that the easing of restrictions would be effective immediately. Weddings were previously restricted to 10 people. A limit of 10 people will continue for indoor weddings. For outdoor weddings, seating will be limited to 10 people per table, everyone will be required to wear masks and each wedding must be supervised by “event planning professionals.” Temperature checks will also be required. The news was applauded by members of the state’s wedding industry, which was dramatically affected by the pandemic.
