Each Wednesday, we tackle wedding etiquette. At times, it’s a reader question or one from a colleague, friend or family member and other times we’ll cover a popular issue. (Note: Questions may be edited for clarity and brevity.)
Question: We are working on our guest list for the wedding. There are several people my parents want to invite to the wedding, which is of course expected and A-OK. But there are two people they’ve mentioned that for personal reasons I’d rather not have present on this special day. How can I tell my parents I don’t want to invite certain people to the wedding?

Pura Vida. Pure Life. Pure honeymoon.
It sounds like an elixir drawn from the fountain of youth. And, in a way, it is. Pura Vida is how the denizens of Costa Rica (called Ticos) greet one another. Like Hawaii’s Aloha, Pura Vida means hello, goodbye and best wishes. But more than that, Pura Vida symbolizes the largesse of this tiny, Central American country a treasure trove of natural wonders, unsullied biodiversity, untarnished beaches and an affable populace. Wedged between the Pacific and the Caribbean, this unique swathe of terrain teems with flora and fauna legions of which can be found nowhere else in the world. Poison Dart Frog? Ocelots? Tapirs? Howler Monkeys? More than 800 species of birds? That’s just the beginning. Rainforests, jungle canals, coffee plantations nestled on steep volcanoes, natural hot springs and fish-rich coastal waters define the destination. Rustic pueblos and urbane cities contain a well-educated populace responsible

Press Release – Auckland Fringe Festival
First and foremost
Auckland Fringe Festival – Ahurei Mōwaho o Tāmaki would like to acknowledge the incredible tenacity and drive that ALL of their artists have shown throughout this tumultuous never-ending festival. Without them, the festival doesn’t get to be what it is. After multiple lockdowns during the festival they did what fringes do best, they made it work by extending the festival dates to support all artists that were hit by COVID restrictions, so they could continue to be supported at a later date.
The extended festival came to a triumphant close last night with the Auckland Fringe Awards, celebrating all of the incredibly resilient and hardworking artists that took on the challenge of putting on a show during a pandemic.
