Accommodation for guests
Hello!
Being a fair distance out of Cape Town, we would encourage our guests to try and spend the evening in the area so that everyone can enjoy the party even more and not be hassled with driving late at night.
Please feel free to visit the websites that we posted, they offer a range of accommodation in the Nuy Valley and surroundings.
The choice is all yours!

Food preferences
Hallo!
Hope everyone is well!
For catering purposes we need to know our guests' food preferences. So please let us know if you'd prefer meat, chicken, vegetarian or halaal when you RSVP.
Thank you!
David & Ilse
p.s. I will post options for accommodation in the Nuy Valley and for our gift registry shortly.
Please feel free to contact us if there are anything else you would like to know!

Around Europe in 17 days
Holiday was bliss, and looking back we realised that we were fortunate to have so many priceless moments during the holiday... From snow and waffles in picturesque fairytale Brugge; to a champagne tasting on a boat trip on the Seine; to gliding down the pipes in the saltmines in Halein, Berchtesgaden on Christmas day, Le Palais in Prague, to the colossal St. Vitus cathedral, the depressing Terezin concentration camp and finally the fireworks on Leidseplein on New Year!
Travelling with trains between the countries was a different experience altogether! Running with 20kg bags in the snow on platforms who knows where in minus 7degree temp, up stairs, down stairs, into wrong carriages and ending off with a trip through antiquity on a old Czech train in a chicken-cage sized 6-sleeper compartment with a manual air-con and no coffee... for 15 hours, proved to be a difficult task.
But alas we had our own black belt Johnny Bravo(David)carrying our luggage and Lisa our pathfinder who always got us to our destination in one piece...
Lastly a great big thanks to the wonderful parents who made the trip possible!

Boy meets girl
Boy and girl works in a jewellery store. Girl has boyfriend, who was overseas at the time. Girl secretly liked boy(boy also liked girl subconsciously,) but was too shy to admit it and had to be faithful to other boy...Overseas boy broke of the relationship, girl sad but happy? Boy asks girl on a date on the 24th June 2003 to the imax theatre, girl happily says yes!
4 years later...
Boy asks girl to marry him while busy driving along Melkbosstrand. The beautiful ring is in a sweets packet and girl almost threw it away, but when she finally saw it her first reaction was to put it on! Needless to say the answer was yes!
3 years later...
Boy and girl sets a date for the big day and girl makes boy crazy with all the planning!
The story continues...
