 Our
unique little Polynesian village hugging the coral
shores of a multi-hued lagoon must surely be the
finest setting a man can gift his bride for their
wedding ceremony. And for those already happily
married, what a magnificent place to come and
celebrate your wedding anniversary!
As you arrive by outrigger canoe at Tiki Village, our
villagers line up on the beach to greet you and
welcome you ashore to the sound of the gentle ukulele.
The bride-to-be is then lead to the bamboo hut (or ‘fare’)
where the women of the village prepare her for the
ceremony. Therethey will massage her body with
traditional ‘monoi’ oil and will dress her for the
occasion as a TahitianPrincess.
Meanwhile, the groom will be taken by canoe to a
nearby beach to be tattooed (in felt-tip pen only!)
and dressed as a High Chief. He is then brought back
to the village to be welcomed by his bride accompanied
by the High Priest and the villagers, all dressed for
the occasion in traditional costume.
After this happy reunion, the High Priest will invite
the couple to enter the Marae, the Tahitian stone
temple overlooking the lagoon, where he will perform
the ceremony.
The ceremony will be conducted in the Tahitian
language and an interpreter will be on hand to
translate the ancient incantations for you. Whilst the
ceremony is in progress the women of the village will
sing for you their very moving traditional religious
chants.
Then after having received the High Priest’s blessing
and having received Tahitian names for both themselves
and their future children, the couple, sumptuously
covered in perfumed flower leis and garlands proceed
to the Royal Chair which is carried by four noble
warriors.
They then receive their traditional Marriage
Certificate written on “tapa”, the bark of the
breadfruit tree, as a sign of their eternal vows.
Champagne is then served while the young women of the
village offer a dance show in their honor. The couple
will also be invited to join the maidens in their
dance before embarking on the Royal Canoe on a
romantic journey embraced by the sound of ukulele and
guitar.
 The
newlyweds then board a richly appointed Royal Floating
‘Fare’ from where they may contemplate the enchanting
play of sunlight on the clear blue waters of the
lagoon, marveling at the passing array of vividly
colored fish, while drinking a toast to their new
love. If they so wish, they may be served a meal
brought to them by Tahitian canoe.
They can spend their wedding night on board their
floating ‘fare’ and be served a delicious breakfast in
the morning.
Note: Couples may also choose to be married in wedding
attire of their own personal choice. |
