This Saturday was Petro Steyn and Kerneels Mostert's wedding in Pretoria. It sure was a great event for both Petro and Kerneels as well as all the guests. It seems as if some of the "German precision" had rubbed off on Petro :-), as the event was carried out in great detail and precision! Here is a photo of the church where the wedding was held. Right next door was the reception hall here the reception took place afterwards.

The banner outside the reception hall.

The "Dominee" holding the sermon. I must say, he did a brilliant job! He had a great sense of humor and what he said was very relevant to the occasion.

Some of the guests.

I now declare you man and wife.......

You may kiss the bride....or what ever you want to do...:-)

After church the guests formed a long row to the reception hall.

The happy newly weds!

Petro and Kerneels formed a arch through which everyone went.

Now was the time to take the wedding photos outside.

Petro and Kerneels in front of the stage.

Here Kerneels enthralled us with his mastery of the piano.

The couple opened the dance floor.

On the screen in the front of the hall slides of their hikes where shown as both are very keen hikers.

Karen Geerthsen intently inspecting the wine.

Petro had made all the decorations lovingly herself. The tables where absolutely beautiful! She came up with novel idea of painting rocks with little phrases and placing them on the tables. It seems as if the beaches in Richards bay can now compete with best as all the rocks are in Pretoria now :-)!

Isabel, Jorge, Petro, Silvia and myself. We wish Kerneels and Petro all of the best in the years ahead! We are looking forward to doing many hikes with you in the coming months and years!
