Now that same-sex marriages have been made legal in the state of Hawaii, the wedding industry in the islands are expecting thousands of additional couples to get married in the next few years. During the first three years of the legalization of same-sex marriages, the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization predicts that same-sex marriages would bring in an additional $217 million in visitor spending to the state. Owner of A dream Wedding Maui Style, Tracy Flanagan, stated, "There will be an increase. No doubt about it. It's going to be difficult to some people (to accept), but to me, I'm just so glad that we can welcome everyone with the aloha spirit. I think they deserve it."
