The South Pacific will soon see its own royal wedding. The second in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Tonga is to get married.
Prince 'Ulukalala (26), second in line to the Tongan throne, is courting Hon Sinaitakala Tu'imatamoana Fakafanua (24).
The pair, who are both great-grandchildren of the late Queen Salote, were matched in a Faitohi ceremony held by their families at Ma'ufanga on 28th July.
The Faitohi ceremony is a traditional Tongan courting ritual in which Prince 'Ulukalala officially asked for Hon Sinaitakala's hand in marriage at her residence Siatapu at Ma'ufanga.
Prince 'Ulukalala is the eldest son of Crown Prince Tupouto'a Lavaka and Princess Nanasipau'u Tuku'aho.
Hon. Sinaitakala is the only daughter of Princess 'Ofeina Fakafanua and the late Fakafanua (Tutoatasi).
The King of Tonga, His Majesty Siaosi (George) Tupou V, is a bachelor and has no children.

Correction: The King of Tonga has a daughter with a 'commoner' and cannot rightfully be an heir to the Tongan throne.
You got that right he has two daughters in fact to two different commonists. But thay is not a bad thing they should be all treated the same.
