Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Wedding haka moves New Zealand Maori bride to tears
Emotion awakens. But not by the lightsaber of Jedi but by Hakka performance
by the groomsmen at the wedding reception.
You might expect to see Haka, traditional Maori war cry and dance, be shown
by All Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team, before their international
matches. The unique war cry, shouting, body-slapping and furious facial
expressions is a way to scare or intimidate the enemy. It is also performed to
welcome special guests and at celebration.
These pals of the bridegroom did it so well at the wedding reception, of
course not to intimidate but to show their respect to the groom, that the bride
was moved to cry and even joined them.
Enjoy reading and seeing how sensational a haka could be.
