Women do not traditionally perform the haka, but speaking to the BBC, bride Aaliyah Armstrong said she felt like joining in:

I wasn’t planning on jumping in until one bridesmaid did. I felt the need I felt the need to show love and respect back. I was really blown away.

    I wonder, if a female athlete claimed to have been raped and tweeted pictures of her facial injuries would her rape be referred to in “quotation marks”? Would it be tagged #curiouscase?
