Wedding in Tonga

p. 24 · Read in the full issue

Just as Europeans have fairly rigid ideas on what you should wear at a wedding, so they do in Tonga—and this is it. The bride groom is a New Zealander, Mr.

Ronald Naylor, of the RNZAF at Whenuapai, Auckland. His bride, a Tongan, was formerly Miss Mary Violet Fonua, of Kolomotu’a, Nukualofa. Their marriage took place at the Wes leyan Church in Nukualofa on March 4. They wore European style dress for the church cere mony, and changed into Tongan dress afterwards. The couple plan to make their home in New Zealand.
