Q: Why are you using the term Orewa Beach when the NZ Geographic Board has rejected your application?

Wedding bells: Rated by Hitwise best lifestyle/weddings site in April/June 2001, www.weddings.co.nz has everything you need to get you to the church on time.

Useful "wediquette" section: Traditionally, the groom's parents are not involved financially. However, with the rising costs of weddings, both families and the bride and groom may share the expenses. These days about 50 per cent of brides and grooms pay for their own wedding.
