Actually this was a wedding in two parts.
A Laotion service in Christchurch
Laotion wedding ceremony
Part of the ceremony required the bride and groom to ask their families for forgiveness for any wrong they may have done in their past. This allows them to make a fresh start in their new lives together. Very cool.
Mash and Dala
And a few days later they had another ceremony at the Marae in Kaikoura.
I loved the contrasts and interweaving of traditions with this wedding.
Many thanks to Dala and Mash
Cheers
