For over two thousand years husbands have given their wives marriage contracts which spoke of their love and commitment to each other. In the Middle Ages, these documents called Ketubot were elaborately illuminated. They still are, but with a special difference.

Artist, Shayna Baecker Magid, has created a version of the marriage contract using visual elements from her own Hawaiian roots. Its poetic text is based on ancient Hawaiian oral tradition; the Biblical "Song of Songs"; and a modern Hawaiian wedding ceremony.

Ka Palapala Male is a new concept grounded in Hawaiian tradition. A beautiful reminder of an important and special time to be framed and cherished forever.
