Haka for a Maori wedding


This is what was missing from your wedding.

Addendum:  An interesting comment from the bride that is worth noting: "Ben is a Maori, he is probably more Maori than I am."  People are apparently misled in that regard by his fair skin and features.  I was.

  3. I found it interesting that the bride commented in an interview that the groom is more Maori than she is, but people don't believe him because of his light skin. I only see this amplified as this video spreads virally without context.

    1. Interesting, xcentric. I hadn't seen that. I've added a note to the text of the post, and have changed the title from Haka for a Maori bride to Haka for a Maori wedding. Tx for the heads-up!

  4. I could tell while watching that the groom was quite emotional.
