Maoris Wedding Is One Of Fuss and Featlieis Weddings among the Maori natives na-tives of New Zealand are a lot of fuss and feathers, principally feathers. The bride and bridegroom bride-groom look like huge birds with human heads when they are decked out to "plight their troth." The man's garb is made of kiwi, pigeon and parrot feathers; the girl's entirely of kiwi feathers. Just in case anyone objects to the union, the bridegroom totes as a weapon a pole of hard wood, decorated dec-orated with a carved head and wild dogs' hair.
