Was Awiyao sincere in saying that if a man will see Luminay dance, that man might marry
Awiyao and Lumnay met in their youth when they attended a local dance festival together in the story "Wedding Dance" by Amador Daguio. This meeting marked the beginning of their courtship and eventual marriage.
Lumnay is the wife of Awiyao-who happens to marry Malidumay just because of his need to have a child which Lumnay can't give.
she is the wife of awiyao.
Some weaknesses of Awiyao in "The Wedding Dance" include his inability to communicate openly with his wife, Lumnay, his adherence to tradition and societal expectations at the expense of his personal happiness, and his struggle to confront his true feelings for Lumnay. This leads to a lack of emotional connection and understanding between him and Lumnay, ultimately causing pain and regret in their relationship.

The characters in "The Wedding Dance" by Amador Daguio are Awiyao, a man who is determined to have a child with his wife, Lumnay, a woman who still loves Awiyao but feels inadequate for not bearing a child, and Madulimay, the woman Awiyao is marrying to fulfill his desire to have a child. Awiyao is portrayed as traditional and determined, Lumnay is depicted as loving and resigned, and Madulimay is shown as strong and hopeful.
Because the "Wedding Dance" is the the final thing that would completely cut the relationship between Awiyao and Lumnay as husband and wife and in the otherside would tie Awiyao and Madulimay as newly wed. The title there speaks of the dance that will be done at the wedding ceremony of Awiyao and Madulimay. To this sense, if the wedding dance is already enunciated by Awiyao and Madulimay, then it means Lumnay and Awiyao are no longer a husband and wife. It is only after the wedding dance that we can surely say that they really sacrifise for their genuine love. (GENE LUPAGUE)
