Traditional wedding ceremony.
This ceremony includes a dance, a feast, a procession, a
sword fight, a blessing by the old people, and then another
feast. The people escorting the young man to the house of
the young woman keep on dancing and bowing to show
respect before they are invited to come up the ladder into
the house. This ceremony is rarely performed now on
Agutaya, but still practiced on Diit and other island
barangays. It is less expensive than a modern wedding, and
a priest is not needed, nor a marriage license.
