How do you feel about mixing two religious ceremonies into one wedding? Share your opinions and experiences with us below!

@clod8 5 лет назад

Everyone blends traditions because we all have different backgrounds and influences at this point. The only thing that really matters is love

@kaywatson6505 2 года назад

Two shall be as one. The ceremonial incorporation of both heritages being brought into the marriage is a powerful acknowledgement.

@@kaywatson6505 sadly it won’t pass on to the kids. I’m mixed race. And it sucks. I’m white when im in the Philippines. And im Filipino with Americans. People would always ask me at school in California, “who is that old white guy that picks you up?”

New Zealand is by far the only country (to my knowledge) that I have seen embrace its indigenous roots despite colonialism attempting to take over

@Heyu7her3 4 года назад

How are we defining indigenous? How are we defining colonialism? Because countries in Africa, Central/South America, Asia, etc all embrace the ethnicities/cultures that make them.

@iceprincessreyes72 4 года назад

Heyu7her3 in a sense where they have decided to embrace their indigenous roots, rather compared to a country like the U.S. where throughout history, colonialism has decided to bury the indigenous culture and act like its nbd

I was born in NY Manhattan, NY, USA and posted to work in Auckland NZ some years ago. Fast forward--I would not surrender my NZ citizen for the world and so lucky to have moved here. It's moments like this emotional wedding video, I count my blessings to have met and married a beautiful Irish Maori woman and now have three wonderful children. With gratitude, I get to be part of their amazing national identity and experience their incredible living culture. x x

@atbeckh 5 лет назад

This video was gorgeous. Usually when I watch internationally produced videos on Maori culture, you can tell they barely did any research and I find myself picking their 'facts' apart but you clearly did your research and everything is shown so beautifully and respectfully.

@bellajezz1 5 лет назад

My sister in law got married at Stoneridge Estate in Queenstown, then got in a helicopter went to the top of some snow covered mountain and got photographs that money can’t buy. Honestly....oh. my. god. It is quite possibly one of the most BEAUTIFUL places on this planet. Every drunken iPhone photo I took looked like a professional shot, simply due to the amazing nature that is NZ. Truly magical. If anyone wants to do a destination wedding, seriously consider it because there is honestly nothing better.

Kia ora, I'm from New Zealand and although I am not Maori I do embrace it as part of New Zealand culture and use different Maori words and phrases throughout the day as I teach little ones. This was truly beautiful and the aroha/love between the couple and their family/whanau and friends was very obvious and beautiful to see especially during the haka. Lets not forget that scenery though, makes me very proud to be a kiwi :)
