New Year weddings for 2016 have kept the Registry Office in Nuku’alofa busy with more than 30 marriages registered since last week, when government offices resumed working on 4 January after the holidays.

Today, 14 January, 13 marriages were registered - second busiest day for nuptials so far for the year. The busiest day was on Thursday, 7 January which registered a total of 15 marriages.
