Saturday the 16th... Nick in the epicentre of wedding planning: Three computers, several 'to do lists' and 'check lists', a few note pads, an extra desk and a phone... A few key issues that needed Nick's attention that day:"What do you mean, they forgot to book the log cabin at the beach? Okay, then organise another store room somewhere! Let's make a plan."
"Where are my chairs? All 70 were supposed to be delivered by 2 PM! I don't give a fuck that your truck broke down! Don't make your problem my problem! I give you till 4 PM to get those chairs here otherwise I'll fetch them at your house and then you better run!" (and at 4 PM Charl and I drove to Mtubatuba...)
"Heidi, we have no power at the beach, please go and buy us a generator in Richard's Bay. Thanks a million!"
5 minutes later: "Oh and Heidi, also pop in by Hire Anything for a 30 m. extension cord."
Another 10 minutes later: "Heidi, sorry for bugging you again, please also get me printer cardridges, mine just ran empty and I still need to print the wedding vows and drink vouchers..."
And so there were another 1 billion things to organise that day. Lesson learned: don't ever plan your own wedding...
Sunday the 17th: Today it is all happening! While picking up the family and in-laws , still organising the last few things...
But heck, it was beautiful! After 5 days of rain, today the weather Gods were with us and gave us a beautiful sunny day with hardly any wind!
The rings tied to roses...
Son and dad: "And they saw it was good..."
And even our minister was a hottie ;-)
Two brothers awaiting the arrival of the bride and bridemaids...
Oh My God, how's that for a sight?
There comes the bride...
Alright, lets do this!
...
En wat een lijntje hè...
Amy brings the roses with the rings...
Yes I do...
Thanks baby, that's a pretty awesome ring. You know what, I've got one for you too!
You may now kiss the bride... (Dat laat ik me natuurlijk geen twee keer zeggen...)
Husband and Wife: Nick and Freya van de Wiel
Houdoe en bedankt hè!
Forget the rice, we throw flower petals!
Congratulations, and everybody was happy. And God saw it was good...
