important for tourism. <P> "It makes us better known amongst the portion of the public which is perhaps not into things like golf. <P> "If we can get young people to recognise it is a beautiful place, a romantic setting for just what Madonna's using it form," he said. <P> Three other couples are named on the list of intended marriages but none for the same date as 42-year-old Madonna's. <P> Her
