I do...I Do...I DOOOOO!

Wasn't Ilse's entrance so graceful?

I need you all to tell me. I was facing away as she came down the red carpet, forcing that final bit of self control which didn't last too long, because the moment I turned to receive my bride I was overwhelmed by uncontrollable happiness and joy. All those last bits of nervous doubt and expectation just vaporized as I saw her standing next to me. No word can describe the emotions I felt, or should I say that I could not put a word to the emotions I felt at the time, because I was not aware those feelings even existed.

THE WEDDING - 1 MAY 2010 (Part 1 : The preparations)

The day has come and gone, but the memories will remain forever. However, the memories were not created out of thin air, but rather composed as an ensemble of good friends and family, good food, good music and lots of wine - a marvelous piece de resistance to David and Ilse.

The day went of extremely smoothly. Pre-wedding at Aan de Doorns Guest House - the girly pad - Ilse was being prepped by her sorceresses Luzia, Melissa, Delores and Annelise, who worked their magic magic on her, turning Ilse into the most amazingly beautiful bride. The tricks and spells hey used on Ilse were strong and powerful. They even out did the infamous Fairy God-mother, because when the clock struck twelve, Ilse was and is still as beautiful as ever.



At the same time, not so far away at Leipzig Country House there was there was much excitement. The final preparations were being made for the ceremony. Elizma's team was preparing the venue, Tannie Suzette and her flower team were decorating and Leonora and her caters were cooking up a culinary extravaganza and making every in close proximity to the kitchen drool. Enter Dopey (Ike), Grumpy (Ricky), Doc (Lisa), Bashful (Augs), Sleezy (Garry), Sleepy (Dwight) and Happy (George) each with a unique set of skills which they used in overseeing all the final touches at Leipzig prior to the wedding, Oh, and for being there so that I could delegate. Thanks Guys and girl for the time before, during and after that you put into making Ilse and my day flawless.
