Wedding couples
are constantly looking for ways to personalise their wedding day by adding
something that is original and yet appropriate.
With
this in mind we’ve seen myriad of symbolic rituals being enacted on the wedding
day. There’s candle lighting representing anything from the uniting of the
couple to remembering absent friends; handfasting with various coloured ribbons
representing various wishes for the couple; blending of sands, sharing of wine,
planting of a tree, exchanging of roses, releases of doves, and so on.
At
my last wedding the wedding procession was led by a Ring bearer with a remote
control in his hand. Running in front of him was a little red truck. On top of
the little red truck was a ring cushion to which were tied two rings.
The
little red truck was representing the groom’s occupation which was driving a
truck.
As
both the bride and the groom were Maoris, there was also a suggestion that somewhere
during the evening celebrations there might be a spontaneous enactment of the
Haka.
I’ve seen the Haka done in native costume, and in sporting gear, but never by
men in suits! It would have been something to see, but unfortunately, if it
happened, it happened long after I’d left.
