Wedding And Flowers

With all of the wedding planning, Mary became very stressed at times. I wanted to make the whole thing fun and a little light. So I got my friends together for a little musical. They were very cool to participate and make fun of themselves, so thank you to them. Mary, I hope you enjoy.

Lina Ariki weds Simon Agius, on the Erakor Lagoon, Port Vila, Vanuatu in March 2008. A wedding enjoyed by over 400 guests, family & friends from Vanuatu and around the world. Simon Agius is the CEO of Thisisnatural.com and the wedding portrayed traditional culture & nature, blended with Traditional wedding vows & a Custom Marriage performed by Chief Telkon of Bunlap South Pentecost, Chief of the Land Diving Nangol ceremony. Simon Agius grew up in Vanuatu and Lina Ariki is a Ni-Vanuatu who’s father is a Great Chief of the Solomon Islands Tikopia and mum from Malekula, Vanuatu. Simon’s father Robert Agius is a long time Citizen of Vanuatu. Simon and his parents Rob and Pauline first moved to Vanuatu in 1979. Simon is quoted as saying “we wanted a natural wedding on the lagoon that we both enjoyed as children”. Whilst there was some discussions about the Wedding being in Australia the couple decided to make the occasion in Vanuatu where many friends and family had not yet visited. The Natural wedding is a testament to Simon & Lina’s love for the natural world and respect in Custom and Culture of the Pacific Islands, blending traditional cultures of Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Simon’s European and Australian heritage. This video was made by Simon’s mum Pauline.

This emotional moment during the wedding vows is something that never fails to move me. Filmed in september 2009 it shows why video is so important.
