Palagi Bride Linda Aii suprises Samoan Husband Layton by doing a Siva Samoa.
When I heard of Linda’s story, how her dance is self taught and she hand picked the song from endless watching of TH-cam clips, I had to do a little something special for her intro.
I felt pride in the effort that one takes to learn and be expressive in our culture to do it right and to make sure that she would give it justice is inspirational.
Linda did it from the heart and doing it whole heartedly made her glow!
Malo lava Linda ♥️

You have an amazingly open mind for sharing your culture & Samoan love to all. Most would criticize. Bless you! 🌴♥️
It always warms and melts my heart to see a person from a totally different culture or race wants to learn our dance. Its really a nice feeling to see them doing it and appreciate it. I was married to a palagi too and he loves my culture as much as he loves me...🥰
Awe to the Lady who stayed n dance till the song ended Great Job supporting the Bride 😘😍
To the girl who walked off and pull the next girl off shame on you! You couldn't wait till her dance was over, SMH I'm just saying.
One of the most amazing, powerful, memerable moments of my life. Thankyou for helping keep this a surprise and getting me ready to share my husbands amazing culture 💕
Lovely dance & many congrats n good wishes to u & ur husband🍾🥂♥️👰🤵👏👏👏
Just watched this. You did great. Congratulations.
Wow you did great Your Pretty awesome Young beautiful Lady thanks for showing mad Love to our Samoan culture 😍😍😍😍
your culture resembles my culture of Borneo Dayak, maybe we used to have a mixture or maybe a derivative, sweet greeting tks
awesome 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
The Bride did a wonderful job, not only beautiful but graceful too. She danced better than many of us. LOL We don't look at outside, we only watched the bride with her humility and love for her husband and his culture. He's a lucky young man.
I have so much RESPECT for her for giving it a go she was awesome loved it
She did a great job. It’s disappointing to see that a lot of people had just walked away. The point of an aiuli is to ensure that the Taupou is the Centre of attention. They could’ve at least stayed for her whole performance otherwise why bother? That to me was disrespectful.
People didn’t go to see a dance they went to see a wedding, get it over with and go home
@@junglegirlvideos6831 Well in that case have some respect for the bride and the CULTURE.
Losi Mazgallof 🧐 no, I don’t think I will.
Jungle Girl Videos the dance is part of the wedding dummy
Maria Momoe it’s not.
I wish more aiuli's would actually go up and dance I noticed nowadays it is only a few but in olden days family, extended relatives, village, etc. Congratulations to you both!
It’s cray , the culture is becoming more extinct to our Samoans . The traditional siva is lacking smh !! The groom didn’t even know how to siva !
Ufaa Yessda for starters please do not attack the groom. You do not know what one the groom is most people get it wrong. It was an extremely special moment that happened that night it’s a shame that this special dance is being taken away by some rude comments.
Linda Chalwell , I Am a true blooded Samoan . Our culture represents strong men who embody the “ Sogaimiti “ we embrace the siva as much as the Taupou , ( The bride ) The Man is suppose to slap the floors , present pride in his wife . Celebrate the culture .
Linda Chalwell The groom is in fact Samoan . It is not a hate statement nor a negative comment . Just a disappointed Polynesian
Ufaa Yessda i know that the groom is Samoan as I am the one in the video doing the siva for him who he had actually no idea it was being done I just do not appreciate hate in any form towards him. I get you got disappointed in him but is it so bad that he wanted to be just in the moment then sit and watch his new wife.
I almost thought she was Samoan and the groom was palangi lol good job bride you are a natural!
Old comment but still relevant hahaha I thought the exact same thing but didn't want to be the first to say it, then i scrolled hahaha
She's so beautiful!! No better way to show love and respect to her husband and our Samoan culture...you did it sis!! 💞
Wel ldone! This is a woman who is intelligent and knows how to blend into a culture. I am Puerto Rican but learned German culture and made friends everywhere I went. They took me into their homes and treated me like family. I learned their culture and respected there ways. Unfortunately not all personnel knew how to be respectful of another country,
How beautiful & poignant. Very subtle, however, it's deeply meaningful. Their ancient culture binds the love & souls of everyone. Something, everyone can take lessons from. Blessings on the couple's life together. Blessings, on the ancestors, who came before. And, blessings, on those, who will come after. Thank you, for sharing with the world.
Malo lava le kaumafai, magaia lou sa'asa'a. So proud of you for plucking up such courage to dance. Beautiful execution 😊
You were FANTASTIC and GRACEFUL!!! I enjoyed your performance and love your appreciation for the culture!!!! Congrats to you both and ia fua tele le niu!!!!!
Awww wow she looks amazing! So much grace and beauty ❤
Ayei give it to the lady in the back dancing kuz shes been dancing ever since she gor out there on the dance floor. Shes got me the way up doe.
Kalofae! Great taumafai and job well done. Always a joy watching other people that are married into Samoans embraced our culture.
I for one marries to a palagi who loves and embraced our culture and way of life to a certain degree. My only complaint and I guess a lot of other people will agree with me is......Why are those Samoans just sits and watch instead of supporting her and where are money, money, money during a taualuga? So sad when she went out of comfort zone to actually put on a tuiga and all of that for people just to watch on. Even those who got up went pack before it was finished.
She is one smart cookie! Her moves are beautiful. That husband is one lucky dude.
So disappointing seeing the Samoans in their seats.
Yea...... those Samoans probably grew up in Utah
Awwwww well done. I almost cried for a moment. But awesome job well done💗💗💗
Malo le siva, malo le faafiafia. Well done to the bride, and her keuga was amazing.
I loveeeeee itttt you did an amazing jobbbb❤️
Aww she is awesome, loves husband a lot for that, happy union.
Beautiful ive seen the dance live in Hawaii when one of my friends cousin got married i love it
I'm guessing the groom is the Samoan? Where the heck was he? He should've been the first one on the floor to aiaiuli for his beautiful bride. And I didn't see a single dollar on the floor. The bride did an amazing job with her taualuga. But the Samoans that were present were such a disappointment man.
I do not understand samoa culture, but I only see the beauty of art and culture there are similarities in our culture of Borneo Dayaks, tks
pontius_ jubata You guys have awesome Kratom!
They were probably stunned at a woman who would go out of her way to make her husband HAPPY AND PROUD, She's a keeper
Oh no the Husband got up....... he gassed out lol
Well done and congratulations to both of you.
Occasionally I attended a few Samoa wedding and the best part I love about it is there FOODS....additional when you have a culture that siva on the dance floor that is pure bliss and awesomeness entertainment but regardless of it all the FOODS top it all and least not forgotten about the bride and groom 😃😋🙌🏼
Loving it she done a beautiful siva
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Am African and I just love it. Well done
good on you Linda, you did such an amazing job and honestly you danced better than me girl lol
She's graceful. Much respect to her
Beautiful done ✅ Malo siva
God Bless your beautiful marriage.
Great job! In our culture this is the most important part of the wedding party. Very disappointed that the Samoans just sat there or left while you were still dancing
Easter Taylor SMDH! Our people needs to swallow their damn pride and appreciate others who embrace our culture.
That was beautiful
She did Great ❤
Amazing and so elegant and beautiful Fa'afetai lava🙏💜
Gotta love it.., 💯❤️ well done
Beautiful!
That was beautiful. Very powerful.
the best and amazing your culture tks
Beautiful thank you for sharing
Can anyone tell me what the song is called pls? I'm not samoan but I love this song.
Those girls in the red probably had to go change for something, who knows. But those girls who went to sit down, and to the Samoans just watching and not dancing. :/ The bride did such a beautiful job, so amazing! Such a shame though, kalofae.
Wth the groom is sitting down n not dancing, sad those ppl. She dancing her heart out
Yea my thoughts she danced "her heart out".......
Wow 👏👏👏
Love her dance! It was great she could dance better than me ... shame these dang Samoans just sitting there smh
beautiful culture and diverse beautiful like biodiversity that grows everywhere, I love your culture, similar to our culture in Borneo Indonesia, tks
well done n congrats
she did very well. so emotional to me.
Wow😁 Proud❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful
indahnya budaya dan beragam keanekaragaman seperti hayati tumbuh mana-mana, aku cinta budayamu, mirip budaya kami di Borneo Indon esia, tks
Malo fa'afetai Thank you
Why did the other people stop dancing? SMH 😒😞
Usomex Martin she’s palagi . most elders would find that disrespectful
Because, the dj didnt know........hey! hey! ho!!😁
Probably out of shape lol
That was Beautiful
Go girl so natural
Hi, may I know the title of the first background song please, thank you
What is the name of the song? please someone help... so lovely. Blerssing and longevity to the wed couple.
Nice
👏👏 Congrats
I love your culture and you, tks
Very nice. I also think it was quite awkward that they all stayed in their seats or returned to their seats while she was dancing. Let's you know a lot right there
What are some do and don't do at Samoan weddings? I maybe going to one.
Ayeeee!!!!malie!!!!
Manu pato kalekale....
The beautiful bride was wonderful despite this being all new to her
Was this in Layton, UT or is the husband name Layton? btw Awesome Taualuga............
My man David Parker!
Cheeehoo she was amazing. Thank you for this beautiful video hes a lucky shithead
amazing and proud, I love your culture and you're a part of it, tks
Mean dancing sis! uce faamalosi mai le aiuli man lol
Um ok so some people had to go out of room I see nothing but alot of love and support
Le lava aiuli ga kapuai ai le siva. Seu ia. Sa iai aiuli ae sosola. E le malie wakanda i aiuli palaaai. Malo le sa'asa'a.
Linda made an amazing effort to immerse herself in groom's culture by dancing the siva taupou. The groom should've been on that floor immediately as aiuli to support her. And those lousy Samoans should have stayed up and supported her siva until it was done. Except for the lady in red who supported Linda the whole time, bravo to you. Only one aiuli left at the end of the siva was insulting and embarrassing. Malo Linda.
Me one day I am not samoan but I am with one 😘💙
Where are all the men's (Aiuli) disappointed
I'm not disappointed man just missed you and your culture is similar to mine, tks
This was great!!! I imagine it takes a lot for someone not of our culture to pay tribute in this way. Especially for her husband! Such an awesome job!!! Screw all the puki'os who thought otherwise, y'all can let us know when you're done getting your head outta your a$$🤣🤣🤣
remember when you do a Siva you are mimicking a Samoan bird always look at your hands and slow your past down a little bit =)
Tryna figure out where all the Samoans were and why they were sitting down? Did the husband even get up?
She did okay I assuming by her movements she learned the dance is it not her culture? I couldn't really see her face or anything so again I'm assuming ?!!
Bro!! not to be negative nancy, but this girl clearly went out of her way to learn moves and out of her comfort zone to pay respect and homage to her partner's and in law's culture where's all the hype? where's all the support. Are you serious? this was painful to watch. All I know is that if one of my inlaws did that for me and my family NO one would have sat down till she did. Straight out this is mad dissapointing. Linda, YOU WERE AMAZING.
Where's the shmoonneeyyyy🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 ka'i leai kele gi kupe e lafo🤌🏼 she was beautiful and I can't believe they let her danced without having to experience the real way a Samoan siva vibe was suppose to be🙄 you frls married into the wrong family sis, if it were mine my family would've covered that fckn stage with money... if you disagree come fight me🤣😙
🤦🏽 samoans sitting there not dancing but good job girl
What an amazing wife who took the time out to learn a Samoan Siva and her future husband and family can't even stay and dance with her? Wtf...How embarrassing to the culture and the bride. Worse bunch of so called Samoans I've seen smh
