EXEPTIONAL WEDDING AT HERITAGE PARK HOTEL
Exceptional wedding at HERITAGE PARK HOTEL....
HERITAGE
PARK HOTEL hosted a unique wedding ceremony on the 1st
of November 2016 for Australian Couple, Adam Steven Frew and wife Briohny Erin
Cook from cairns Australia.
The
fascinated couple tied the knot at the Hotel’s Splash Bar accompanied by
daughter Ruby Frew, after they had signed the marriage certificate at the
Honiara’s Magistrate court upon arrival early in the morning on board P&O
Australia operated Tourist boat, Pacific Eden.
They travelled to Honiara on the cruise ship via
PNG and are amazed at the welcoming culture and friendly atmosphere in the
tropical Solomon Islands.
The bride said that their first plan was to organize
their wedding on the grand Cruiser.
However, googling for Hotels and Resorts in
Honiara during the cruise directed them to the Hotel’s website
(www.heritageparkhotel.com.sb).
They had wanted
to begin their honeymoon in a unique and different setting, so they changed
their plan for a magnificent wedding at a world class hospitality provider in
an idealistic tropical setting.
She said, what impressed her at first glimpse is
the picture of the Splash Bar’s Poolside and while at the Hotel, prior to
exchanging wows with the groom, she was satisfied that the real life scene
confirms the pictures on the website.
Not only is that but the couple are more
satisfied that they had chosen the best hotel in the capital with pleasant
atmosphere. The bridal procession was graced
by Panpipe Music, young escorts in traditional costumes, local Hotel attendants
and aides from the Solomon Islands Visitors Bureau (SIVB).
The
intrigued couple who fulfilled their plan and begin a new journey in their life
in the Tropical Island Country said that Solomon Islands is truly a happy isle.
“Solomon Islands is one of the friendliest places we’ve been to,” Mr Frew said.
“Just like the picture, the weather is perfect,”
the bride said. I like the heat, a
perfect place to be,” the groom added.
Briohny said, the happy isle is incredible and
they were blown away by the culture and friendliness they discovered in Honiara.
She said, they are informing their families and
friends in Australia and New Zealand about their Tropical wedding, on Social
Media.
The “one of a kind” wedding ceremony was
conducted by United Church Minister Reverend Willie Maezama. Reverend Maezama who
owned a rest house in Honiara is a keen promoter of Tourism in the country.
He upholds that the advantage of conducting
marriage outside the church is the freedom of meeting the tourists to assist
them in their new experiences as well as helping them to be more aware of the
happy isle.
He suggested the government have to be lenient
and amend the existing applicable law to allow other avenues for the hosting of
Marriages.

Sara Cave.... Miss Solomon 2016 Contestant |
Miss
Solomon Contestant reply to criticism:
Miss Solomon Islands 2016 Pageant contestant Sara Cave accepted critics opinion that she should not be qualified to compete in the up-coming event because she is without a Solomon Islands passport.
Ms Cave whose mother is part Malaita and
Western province and father from Australia said that Solomon Islands is where
her people are and that she know the real struggle at home.
She said she hopes that those who criticize her
will come to understand her more as a person in the Queen pageant. She maintains that Criticism will never
discourage her from pursuing her dreams.
“Everyone
is entitled to their own opinion. However, I would just like just like everyone
to acknowledge that I come to Solomons every chance that I get and I was born
here,” she said.
“As soon as I arrive, I am normally on a ship
straight back to my village whether that be in west or Malaita. My people know
who I am and I know who they are. Because of this I know who I am as a Solomon
Islander and the Criticisms don’t phase me,” she affirmed.
Ms cave explained that she was born at the
National Referral Hospital in Honiara and later went over to Australia for
schooling and was fortunate enough to have her mother as role model.
“I hope that I can inspire young women like my
mother inspire me. Because of this lesson I have been fortunate enough to
achieve what I have at such a young age, from studying engineering to been
published a book,” she said.
She said that she was so honoured to be given
the opportunity contest for the Miss Solomon Islands and see it as a chance to
inspire girls to achieve their dreams and be the Voice of a change in the
country.
“Something I learnt from this life is success
comes through hard work. Although I am still a student, I have applied this
lesson to all areas pf my life,” she continued.
“Once I had to paddle five hours up the Island
of Rendova just to deliver a message. I’ve been on three hour truck rides to
get to my village in Malaita in the pouring rain where the only to keep me dry
was a tarp. I think those who criticize me as a contestant don’t understand me
as a person and will be quick to Judge,” Ms cave said.
