Yesterday Bruce and I hosted the first wedding at Oak Grove Farm and it was fabulous. The ceremony, to join together Sandra and Ian, was held under the Oak Grove, at noon, adjacent to the newly renovated Flower House. The weather was clement and the guests were in awe of the stunning setting of the farm. Bruce had rigged up an amp and speakers, so all could eaily hear the minister's words and Sandra and Ian's vows to one another.
Bruce and I, together with André van der Merwe's help, prepared a lamb & beef potjie as well as a chicken curry, which we served the 38 guests, seated in a beautifully decorated Flower House. Sirene and Venecia were on hand to serve the starters, main course and dessert and their help was invaluable.
Other than a couple of bottles of champagne there was no alcohol at the wedding and it was lovely. It's really good to see that people can enjoy themselves without any ot the usual crutches. The groom's brother, Hilton, ended up entertaining us with his awesome repertoire of songs and his fabulous guitar playing till "the cobwebs filled our heads" and everyone retired to their houses on the farm around 10pm.
Keep an eye on the blog for the photos which we have been promised as part of the "good deal" Bruce arranged for Sandra and Ian.
