As with the wedding speech this is going to be hard to write without making it all about me and how Leon getting married effects me.
During our first half marathon we joked about how if I died first we would know that being vegetarian is not healthy. See Leon and I trained together so where both the same fitness, both the same height and looked enough like each other to be mistaken as brothers (which we often used to our advantage). At the New Years party someone even called me Leon thinking that was my name.
So the wedding was a big deal for me and for him. Before I left Ireland to come back to Cape Town for the wedding I had a minor freak out and get all weird. Luckily this settled down as soon as I touched down and by the time I got to the beach front and Countdown it was like I had never left. I was even wearing the same clothes as my mum had saved all the best ones for my holiday cupboard.

I really really like weddings, this one I think I may have been a touch to drunk to fully appreciate it. From these pictures you can make out my akwardness at making the speech. Which is just so not me. From the conversations I have had with people it would seem that I managed to dance with every single female at the wedding, including the bride and worringly even the groom had a twirl with me.

Middag almal
Ek het nie lus vir werk nie en dit is amper middagete, toe dog ek ek email julle gou 'n paar fotos van die troue die naweek. Kyk net hoe lekker het ons gedans. Andreya se ouma het gevra wie het my so met water gegooi... Ek het my vinger ook verstuit met een van die moves wat ek op die dansvloer gemaak het. Dit was nog steeds baie lekker.
Elk geval, hoop julle het almal 'n baie lekker dag. En week wat voorle.
Groete

Weddings are great, I love every second of them. For the wedding present we bought 4 bottles of really good wine. The idea being that they kept the wine for a differant celebrate or aniversary that would happen in there marriage. Champagne for the honeymoon (Nitida Shiraz Champagne), white wine for there 1 year anniversary, merlot for 5 year anniversary, pinnotage for there 10 year etc etc.
To make sure we got quality wines selflessly Leon and I spent the morning of the wedding wine tasting the durbanville wine route. This is no easy feat and there where one or too occassion where we found we got stuck at wine farms which delayed our process.
Eventually we got home, managed to eat a quick stomach lining pile of slap chips and rolls before we headed off to the wedding.
The Loene and Lehesta looked amazing and took charge of us on arrival. |

Stag nights are nearly as good as wedding, unless you are the groom. In which case they are probably better. |
