Pa & Chrisstels Wedding Day

Tuesday 16th June 2009

It was a public holiday, and also Pa & Chrisstel's big day. Everyone got together for family photos at 4:00pm. We then all moved inside to the venue where the District Attorney Mr. Meyer from the Reformed Church "Die Kandelaar" led the ceremony. We prayed, sang some Psalms and listened to a sermon. Then the documents were signed and we enjoyed a lovely meal. It was a really enjoyable time together with the new Mr & Mrs van de Wetering and family. We pray that God will bless their marriage with much happiness.
