Aitutaki Special Ceremonies for Wedding Couples or those on their Honeymoon

The bride and groom plant a young coconut tree in a special place (often on a 'motu').

The tree signifies the couples union and Cook Islanders believe that the tree's health reflects the strength of the couple's marriage.

When the tree grows and bears good fruit it shows that their marriage is also doing well.

Cook Islanders strongly encourage the couples to come back and visit their tree, and bring their children, to show them where their life together began.
