Well we know Sos got married but she hasn't even told us herself! Infact
she's been off the radar for donkeys so Sos, when the honeymoons over,
please be filling us in.
Our very own Googsie is getting hitched this side of the ditch in Dec
2004 to Andy, bringing him all the way from Syds to Napier! How lovely...
Trisha is taking a break on dry land and marrying her beau Danny on New Years Eve 2004 in Tamaki too. Nice way to welcome the next year in huh!
