Why Including a traditional dance at your wedding is such a good idea?

Including a traditional Samoan dance at your wedding is a great way to honor and celebrate your Samoan heritage, culture, and traditions. The Samoan culture places great value on family, community, and respect for ancestors, and a traditional dance can help to convey these values and express your appreciation for your heritage.

The traditional Samoan dance, known as the "Siva Samoa," is a powerful and energetic dance that involves graceful movements. Enyssa and Neil wore traditional Samoan matching attire: the puletasi and ie lavalava.

Including a traditional Samoan dance at your wedding can also serve as a way to bring together your family and friends, as well as your community, to celebrate your union and share in your cultural heritage. It can create a memorable and meaningful experience for both you and your guests, and help to connect you to your roots and traditions. And the showering of money is always fun and symbolic!
