Most of us travelled to Tonga to see Nicolette and Sione get married in the Temple on the main Island, we then flew to the Haipai Islands, then a 40 minute trip in a little boat that was called the "SS LAJLA" Now it's the "SS NAOMI", thank goodness, I was honored, but happy to hand over the title. I'll see if I can find a photo of it. Anyway the island is only 4 miles by 3 miles (sorry I can't give you the k's) and yet it has two modern Chapels on it.
The people that live their are just wonderful they have so little but would give you all they have. The residents gave Nic and Sione a wedding reception, that Tony says was the best wedding reception he has ever been to.
Part of there tradition is to put these lolly made leis around their necks...Nic said she was stiffling hot!!!!!! Nic and Sione then gave out these leis to every child there.
Really great to see this wonderful wedding pix in Tonga :)
