Parable of the Plumeria

~ Samoan Wedding ~

If you EVER have the opportunity to attend a Samoan wedding, always go! It is a spirited and splendid celebration.

Kalani and Ayesha Nahenahekamakanimaikalanimai Fitisemanu III
(A gentle breeze from heaven)
She was the Relief Society President in our YSA Branch.
(I can say her name)

The groom is also local, so there were many 

people attending, but, mostly family. 

It was held at the Polynesian Cultural Center, 

in a luau venue, to accommodate the crowd.

Taualuga, (traditional money dance) symbolizes the conclusion of a monumental task. (And a fundraiser for the newlyweds). Money is thrown into the air or onto the floor, by anyone attending, while the bride dances.

The groom was led to a chair in front of the dais area, and 
then Ayesha danced an exquisite hula for him.



What an evening!
