The Wedding


I attended my first Samoan wedding the first weekend I was in Savaii. The ceremony took place in a Catholic church, located about 30 minutes away from my village. The reception was at Eva Eva, a bar in Salelologa.

The ceremony reminded me of an American wedding: bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, and a fun reception. 
The bride and groom. They're friends of my host parents.




The reception


Beautiful cake

Each guest received a GIANT platter of food

Each pastor in attendance received tin fish and fine mats. These gift are very expensive!
