Cape Town (Part 3)

Anyway... we eventually delivered the cake (with only a few melted bits) to the venue and after N had had a brief conflab with the hotel supervisor concerning the layout of the tables we made our way back to base to finally get ready for the main event.

At 5:45 the bridal car turned up (Mercedes SLK AMG55 - nice motor!) and we drove in convoy to the church. The ceremony took place at a New Apostolic church in Plumstead which was totally a new experience for me. The choir conductor reminded me of Oddjob from Goldfinger minus the deadly bowler hat and the church regulars all said "Amen" really quickly which caught the untrained unawares... meanwhile as this was all taking place, L (N's sister) had suffered a puncture and had missed a chunk of the service!

Of course before and after the ceremony I was being rapidly introduced to N's relatives and friends... including her aunt's partner Joe (who everyone tried to avoid - I actually saw him trying to chat up one of the hotel staff later!) ... We then all made our way to the reception.
