Paul & Nadine’s Wedding

6-08pm

We have just arrived home from Paul and Nadine’s wedding. It was altogether lovely. Held at the picturesque Muldersvlei Estate, just outside of Cape Town. The day dawned looking drizzly and overcast…

Muldersvlei EstateThis is the road to the estate… it is a beautiful treed, historic farm and, having never been here before, we were in for a treat…

Road to marital blissThe wedding was held outside, so it was great that the rain had passed by the time the event got underway. Here I am just soaking in all the beauty…

We all took our seats and the MC invited the father of the bride to say a few words. At the end of his speech, he said, “and now I’m off to get my daughter!” And he did….this was first glimpse of Nadine…

We all lined up and made a tunnel of love after which we followed the bride and groom through this special tunnel…

The violinist and flautist followed. We were each given a stone and as I placed it in the fountain, I  prayed for a long and happy marriage for Paul and Nadine. I am a witness to the vows they have made before God today.

A delicious wedding banquet followed. The banqueting hall…

Proverbs 18:22

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
