There is a poem in arabic in which it says "choose your woman carefully because there will come a day when she will be your only army". This woman on the other end of the world from me and her husband reminded me by the way they stood and danced next to each other of this poem. God bless them all the way from Morocco.

This is amazing . When they started singing I closed my eyes because they sing and sound just like my people in South Africans . I don’t understand the song but I cried . Who says we don’t come from the same spirit ? This was so lovely to watch .

[@_eclipz_]

I've had multiple injuries and never cried... took me 5 seconds of watching this to tear up. Beautiful! My soul needed to watch this. Thank you.

[@chrisgr8509]

Love to Maori and New Zealand 🇳🇿 from Greece 🇬🇷❤️ Keep your great traditions!!! Long live the couple!!!

[@jacobbruner2519]

*husband's account.* I have to say I use to be afraid of the Haka. The religion I was taught made me believe that the power and the faces were not good. Now however I have opened my spirit and allowed myself to watch and listen with an open heart! The power, the love for this couple WOW 😱♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭

[@fabianmaura8895]

As a Native American (Lumbee) we also have such traditions. It is always a great thing to have and know when passing the torch to your children, they need to know where they are from, where they're people have been, and where they are going in life. Traditions, customs, rituals, are a must when teaching what needs to be past to the next generations, and the importance behind what each means, and why we do them. I love my people and understand completely what this video is showing. (Unity, Culture, Love, Respect)

[@sonyau2682]

I have been going through a really difficult time mentally struggling I am a saved Christian and I swear to you that the Holy Spirit brought me to the Haka . When I realized what the chant said I was absolutely convinced that the Holy Spirit brought me here it’s incredible

[@portariko7755]

I'm tearing up because of the unity, respect, and loyalty the Mauri people express toward one another. I'm 100 % puerto Rican and I fully respect the honor they show to be who they are and keep their culture alive.

Thank you for your kind words

[@nspain33]

Matalena Aleni - Please do not take any of the negative comments made regarding your son’s wedding to heart. Most of the negative comments are made by the young children & young adults who live for social media and are using all social media’s as a form of “safe bulling” of others. The reasons for their actions are as many as they are and is extremely disheartening. Your son and daughter-in-law’s wedding was beautiful and memorable and filled with love from all who attended. Your love and admiration for your son is quite evident. Congratulations for raising a fine and honorable young man! I’m sure the majority of us who were invited to watch and share in the celebration of this marriage wish many, many blessings and happiness to the newly married couple and their family & friends.
