Kōnia's childhood playmates, including, Harriet Nahienaena, the sister of the king and Kōnia's aunt; Elizabeth Kīnaʻu, the widow of Kamehameha II and Kōnia's "aunt"; Kuini Liliha, her husband's ex-wife; and other members of the court. Among these, John Adams Kuakini, the Governor of the island of Hawaiʻi; and Kekauonohi, another widow of Kamehameha II; sat in the front rows.

Pākī, with his witness, John Papa ʻĪʻī, stood at the altar, which was adorned by two large brass candlesticks and three red kahili; Konia, dressed in a white satin and embroidered silk gown and wearing a lei po'o of pale yellow feathers, came down the center isle followed by her witnesses, the High Chiefess Kapiʻolani and Kale Davis.
