Korowai Ceremony
(Cloak of Love)
As you renew your vows to each other,
the Korowai Ceremony becomes
a living and unique romantic gesture,
one that reinforces a
husband and wife's mutual
love and respect to one another.
The placing of the Korowai (Cloak of Love)
around the woman depicts his
love that will
surround her for
the rest of her life

The Hongi
The Hongi (Touching of
noses) is an
action that seals the
Korowai Ceremony.
The Maori people believe that
when the Supreme God created man,
He breathed
life into the nostrils of the
man and woman.
As the husband and wife touch
noses
this unique Maori custom unites their
two breaths of life together
as one,
a very intimate and meaningful
gesture that symbolizes mutual
love
and respect
