Did you know that France and New Zealand are antipodal? Hayley and Arnaud's engagement proves that opposites do attract.

Hi everyone,

Another article at stuff.com (there's a comments section under this article, by the way )

It's official: Hayley's gettin' hitched


www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/entertainment/christchurch-music/6377428/Its-official-Hayleys-gettin-hitched

It's been confirmed: Christchurch songbird Hayley Westenra is engaged to her French beau Arnaud Sabard.

Her father Gerald Westenra today told The Press he was delighted to confirm his daughter's engagement.

"It's official, as of today,'' he said.

Rumours of an engagement have been circulating for about a week after a cousin ''let the cat of the bag,'' he said.

However, Westenra said his daughter and the sound engineer had not yet set a date.

"It is very much in the planning stages. There is a bit of a logistical problem, and they need time to think about how they are going to keep both sides of the world happy.''

Hayley Westenra, 24, is a Christchurch native, while Sabard, 32, hails from France. They live in London.

The pair have been dating for three years.

According to a story published today in Woman's Day magazine, Sabard proposed to Westenra in Queenstown on New Years Day.

Hayley Westenra's marriage plans confirmed

Tuesday Feb 7, 2012

www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10783952

Hayley Westenra is engaged and making plans for a wedding at home in New Zealand.

Gerald Westenra, Ms Westenra's father, today confirmed reports his 24-year-old daughter is set to marry her long term partner, French sound engineer Arnaud Sabard.

He said both families were delighted with the engagement and were looking forward to the wedding.

Ms Westenra was elated with Sabard's proposal - made during a recent New Zealand trip, he said.

"We're very excited. [Hayley] didn't want to leave the country until she had that ring."

Though there was no fixed date for the wedding ceremony, it was likely to be held at home in New Zealand, Mr Westenra said.

"It's unlikely to be held in France, though of course we have to accommodate both families. We do have a beautiful country here of course."

Ms Westenra is currently recording in London.

So will she officially become "Hayley Sabard", "Hayley Westenra-Sabard" or keep her name as it is?
