New Zealand Wedding Dance Goes Viral

A newlywed couple in New Zealand likely didn’t expect a moment from their wedding to get the international attention that it has.

Aaliyah and Benjamin Armstrong got married this week, and a video of a traditional dance their family and friends surprised them with has since gone viral.

The haka, is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance, or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand.

The dance, usually performed by a group, involves foot stomping and forceful movements.

The couple was visibly brought to tears before joining in themselves.

The video was posted by Serg Tisn on YouTube.
