Tonga ([ˈtoŋa]; Tongan: Puleʻanga Fakatuʻi ʻo Tonga), officially the Kingdom of Tonga, is a Polynesian sovereign state and archipelago comprising 177 islands of which 52 islands are inhabited. The total surface area is about 750 square kilometres (290 sq mi) scattered over 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) of the southern Pacific Ocean. It has a population 103,000 people of whom 70% reside on the main island of Tongatapu.
Tonga stretches over about 800 kilometres (500 mi) in a north-south line – about a third of the distance from New Zealand to Hawaii. It is surrounded by Fiji and Wallis and Futuna (France) to the northwest, Samoa to the northeast, Niue to the east, Kermadec (part of New Zealand) to the southwest, and New Caledonia (France) and Vanuatu to the farther west.
Tonga became known as the Friendly Islands because of the congenial reception accorded to Captain James Cook on his first visit in 1773. He arrived at the time of the ʻinasi festival, the yearly donation of the First Fruits to the Tuʻi Tonga (the islands' paramount chief) and so received an invitation to the festivities. According to the writer William Mariner, the chiefs wanted to kill Cook during the gathering but could not agree on a plan.
Esikeli Tonga (born 5 February 1988 in Dubbo, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who last previously played for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League.

In 2005 Tonga graduated from Marsden State High School in Logan City.
In August 2008, Esi Tonga was named in the Tonga training squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, and in October 2008 he was named in the final 24-man Tonga squad.

Out of all the weddings I've filmed and been to so far this has to be the most Christ honoring. I could hardly focus sometimes because this couples love for the Lord sent me to tears. What a beautiful picture of marriage they have painted for me in my life, when a wedding is much more than flowers and rings but a celebration of a union that reflects our union with Jesus himself. What a blessing they will be to the world around them. Thank you Aaron and Logan for pursuing after the Lord, I know for a fact this is proof that he is pursuing you too.
I wish time was on our side
But your clock hands have got the best of me
I only hope that when I come back
You'll finally be ready for me
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Cos I never thought I would be here
No I never thought I would be here
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Well maybe this could be our year
So this is it, I'm coming home
I wonder if you spent this time alone
I'm the only one who cares
Well maybe I'm better on my own
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
Cos I never thought I would be here
No I never thought I would be here
And I hope and I pray that you're sorry
And I hope that you know that I'm sorry
I don't think this will be our year
I'm going to take the time to remind you
When you act like this, I despise you
I wrote this to let you know
I'm going to use this time to forget you
Cos I wish that I never met you
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
This was never my plan
But I hope that we could become friends
It wasn't you, it was me, I'll take the blame
Well you can go back to hell
Every word you say was a lie, I can tell
It wasn't me, it was you, so here's the blame
As a song in your name
I'm going to take the time to remind you
When you act like this, I despise you
I wrote this to let you know
I'm going to use this time to forget you
Cos I wish that I never met you
I wrote this to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
I wrote this to let you know
