south africa destination wedding

my mate got married this weekend in a field in south Africa! my brother! and let me tell you he married one STUNNING BRIDE! it was spectacular. it had it all…fabulous people, Jesus, details, beer, popcorn, proteas, lights, chops, great music, african sunsets, great food, family, joy, love, anticipation….you name it, it was in full attendance. I’m not good with words ( which is why i choose to explain life through the lens ) but my wife is and I’m just going to now quote from the note she wrote travis&maike before the wedding as this most clearly expresses our thoughts and feeling towards these friends of ours. oh and these images go beautifully with some Kings of Convenience playing in the background…seriously, go to PANDORA and just search them, click play, and once the music has started enjoy the images…
“HAPPY HAPPY you two lovies!  oh boo.  i SO wish we could be there to sob with you all (especially that hubby of mine, he’s gonna be a mess, poor thing!)  wow.  it’s gonna be the most beautiful wedding EVER i think.  truly.  i wish i could glow over every little detail of every little thing that makes up this glorious vision of today, the embodiment of the creativity, spark, inspiration, beauty, and the love of you two…most eminently…which is altogether now a most radient extension of HIM!  you are HIS!  just HIS!  and it’s ALL TO KNOW HIM, period.  and now you enter together in a most sacred idea of His..becoming one.  it’s love some days and it’s definietly war some days!  but it’s above and beyond and the best part and absolutely the most essential part is, it’s Him!  this is his union and he will nurture it, perfectly.  enjoy abudantly this celebration today, drink your fill!  and know that we are thrilled for you, proud of you, and praising father with you!   he did good, he did so good…”
