TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY
After your arrival and registration, you will be whisked away
to collect your marriage license. Upon return to the resort, you
can relax until the next day when the big moment arrives. Our
staff will decorate the trees in the area with woven palm leaves
and flowers. Colorful Salusalus (traditional Fijian wedding leis)
and a head garland to match will be delivered to your bure. Four
warriors dressed in traditional costumes will accompany the bride
and groom to the site of the ceremony.
The Lali ( traditional Fijian drum) will announce the arrival
of the bride and groom while the Fijian choir welcomes them with
a beautiful hymn. After the ceremony, the celebration starts with
sparkling wine followed by a traditional kava ceremony. Kava is
the traditional Fijian drink (non-alcoholic) and the bride and
groom are the guests of honor during this ceremony.
The Namale Band takes over from the warriors serving kava and
sets the stage for the "Meke", Fijian dances performed
by the local villagers. At the end of their performance the bride
and groom are invited to join in the merriment!
Your choice of a romantic dinner for two on a private deck under
the stars or a big wedding party dinner with all the guests rounds
off a happy evening followed by wedding cake served with coffee.
What a memorable way to start your life together! (Should you
wish, we also have traditional costumes we can arrange, for additional
cost.)
