Watch: The Most Moving Wedding Haka You Have Ever Seen

Forget about the traditional first dance at a wedding, this first dance will never be forgotten.

Aaliyah and Benjamin Armstrong were overwhelmed when the best man and his family took to the floor to perform the haka.

The haka is the traditional Maori dance usually performed by the New Zealand All Blacks before their rugby matches.

More often than not, it is aimed at intimidating the enemy however it can also serve as a symbol of love and respect.

It was so powerful that even the bride and groom, who tied the know in Auckland in New Zealand, joined in by the end.

This is the wedding haka everyones been talking about. Blessed to capture this for our cousins #ProudMaori #westoneproductions #TeamLDS
