Humorous Wedding Monologue
Sadie: It is a pleasure to meet with you today.
Queen: Thank you! I am very excited. Shall we begin the interview now?
Sadie: Yes, of course! Let’s start from when you started your walk to royalty.
Queen: I became a member of the court of Kamehameha IV as a young lady. When I grew older, I married John Owen Dominis.
Sadie: About your husband, I’ve heard he was not born into royalty. Is that true?
Queen: Yes, all rumors are true. He is only a son of a ship captain who had moved his family to Honolulu in 1837. It was not a typical marriage, but it worked out very well.
Sadie: Pardon me for interrupting again, but when did you actually begin to know that you were going to become queen one day?
Queen: Oh, yes! I completely forgot.

I never heard that your younger brother was going to become the next king. What happened when you were preparing to become queen, anything big?
Queen: In the following years, I tried to lay the best foundation for my future by establishing schools for Hawaiian children. I also served as a regent during the king’s 1881 tour of the world.
Sadie: Everything seemed so perfect. You tried your best and you succeeded by far. Anything else?
Queen: Everything was going well, then the smallpox epidemic hit the

I composed most of my songs up there, one of which being my most famous, “Aloha ‘Oe”
Sadie: I love your songs! What was the background story behind “Aloha ‘Oe”? I have always wanted to know your inspiration to writing beautiful songs.
Queen: My inspiration was the people in Hawaii. Many people slowly and affectionately bid each other farewell, that is why we famously us this song as a farewell to Hawaii as they lost their independence.
Sadie: Okay, now back to your imprisonment.
Queen: Oh, yes, of course. I was forced to sign many documents and my jailers made me sign using “Liliuokalani Dominis” to humiliate myself in front of the whole world. On top of all the drama, I missed my family, especially my niece.
Sadie: What was special about your niece?
Queen: I designated my niece as my heir and I used to travel a lot with her. Our favorite trips were to Washington when we tried to convince Cleveland to restore Hawaiian monarchy. We were not successful, but we made the best of it.
Sadie: That is a lot of fun and I still can’t wrap my head around the treatment you must have gone through.
Queen: That is what many people say, but once I got used to it, so I was

    People who write and share songs have an opportunity many of us only wish we had: a chance to share ideas with our communities and our society. Woody Guthrie was a songwriter, and he used his voice not only to entertain listeners, but also to share messages about many things he thought were important. Woody’s life was a roller coaster of tragedy and fun, difficult and slightly better times. Through his experiences he learned, saw, and thought many things about his country. Woody had ideas to share, and audience to share with, and a genuine, unique voice that helped him to stand out.…

    When Canadian/American, writing from his own personal experiences, Paul Anka sang: “You and I will be as free, as the birds up in the trees, oh, please, stay by me, Diana” the timing of his song’s release in Australia could not have been more perfect.

    The title of the song I chose is, “Ho Hey!” written by The Lumineers. The Lumineers are an American folk group from California. The bandleader, Wesley Schultz, started off as an artist, drawing whatever he felt, and eventually replaced his talent and became a song artist. Wesley and Jeremiah started off childhood friends and began collaborating. They played gigs around New York. They moved to Denver, Colorado, bringing their talents with them. The very first thing they did was place a Craigslist ad for a cellist to add to their band. This is how they met Neyla Pekarek. They began playing as a trio and from there they went on. This song is about a relationship that the bandleader had with someone new and he is thinking about what it could have been and basically they are meant to be together, referring to her as sweetheart. That is how this song came about.…
