WATCH: This incredibly emotional wedding haka has taken the internet by storm

It’s an intense watch.

YOUNG COUPLE BENJAMIN and Aaliyah Anderson got married in a Mormon temple in New Zealand last weekend.

What they didn’t realise was how a video of part of their ceremony would end up going viral.

Their families performed a haka – organised by Benjamin Armstrong’s best man – during which both the bride and groom shed tears.

The video (filmed by Westone Productions) of the haka, which is a Maoiri ancestral war dance (you probably recognise it from New Zealand rugby games), has since gone viral, and if you watch it you’ll see why:
