DREAMS DO COME TRUE


I hosted Johann and Danielle's stay at Dolphin B&B+S/C exactly a year ago, during which weekend Danielle shared with me her dream: to be married in the little stone church near Rawsonville. Undaunted by all the arrangements that would have to be handled by fax/phone and email, Danielle set her plans in motion and on Saturday 29 March 2008 she became Mrs van Rensburg, the couple having pledged their troth in a lapa at Slanghoek and then repaired to that dream church where they signed the register - something to do with having to be married with a roof over one's head and the door open and facing to the east, I understand - an antiquated but still existant Roman Dutch law.

Not stopping there, Danielle's mother gave her away to Johann who so very willingly accepted this package of beauty into his life.

A honeymoon in Mauritius completed their happy event and they've promised to let me have the details (well, readers, of course not all!) of their time there.
