Before telling the story of our wedding and honeymoon, I feel its important to first say a huge thank-you. For those who helped arrange, direct, organize and plan. For those who travelled far and spent a lot of money to be there. For those who couldn't be there - we know you all wanted to share it with us and really appreciate your good wishes. For everyone who said such nice things at our wedding. For the extremely generous wedding gifts we received from our families, our friends and both our respective companies we work for, pooling together to give us both fantastic kitchen tea presents. And for our parents - without them none of this would've happened. Thank you all so much!
15-17 Aug 2010, We leave Middelburg
On Sunday we left Middelburg for Pretoria where we were to stay for two nights at Peter's Guesthouse and do some last minute pre-wedding shopping. On Monday morning I went to a work "meeting" which turned into a surprise "kitchen tea" - thank you very much to all my colleagues! Rhona (Nicola's younger sister) arrived from the UK and at 2pm the three of us left to do the legal marriage bit. Nicola's parents and brother (Gordon) also joined us as witnesses and without any pomp or fanfare we said, I DO!, and completed the forms. Legally husband and wife, we shared a bottle of champagne before heading back to the guesthouse.
