Yes, we are finally getting hitched, married, tying the knot. We are aiming for the blog to be a place where we can provide as much information about the big day as possible. We know a lot of you are coming from far away, and are not native to this fine city, so will try and provide some helpful local insight about places to stay, things to do, and perhaps not to do in Cape Town and the surrounds.
As far as we know, the hen / stag nights are going to be the weekend before the wedding (the 3rd and 4th of April), so it would be great if people could be around for that. We will be in Cape Town until the 19th of April, so if anyone is staying on later, we will be around.
Below are some links to get us started:
The venue is Stellenrust, just outside Stellenbosch, and the website can be found here. As the wedding is going to be held a little way from Cape Town, we shall look for suitable B&B's in the area, and those will go up here in a little while, but in the interim visit the Stellenbosch tourism website.
If anyone has any questions, either of us can be contacted here: pamannsteele@gmail.com, or laubscher.coetzee@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you all there, don't forget to send us your RSVPs (those are the postcards included)

Most of those fortunate enough to crack the nod would have received their invites by now, and should have spotted the symbol embossed on the front.
This is a traditional west African symbol called "The Moon and the Star", and it represents love, faithfulness and harmony. It depicts the North Star waiting for her husband the Moon. Isn't that sweet.As things stand, there are only going to be five people at the wedding, and one of these is not old enough to drink...anything but his mothers milk. So send those RSVPs back. We understand you might want to keep the pretty pictures of Cape Town, but we want them too. Also, Pam wants post that doesn't come from one of our 'service' providers.
