Andy & Phil's Wedding

So obviously after the bulls party, comes the wedding. The ceremony was held in the Chapel at Kearsney College. I thought you either had to be an old boy or well connected to secure that venue? Campo is a Westville boy, so maybe he’s well connected. Or perhaps it was his life credo to always greet everyone by their name and to always display impeccable manners around his elders, that impressed one of the Masters at a Westville vs Kearsney cricketing campaign that secured the elusive Chapel. Either way it is definitely a great venue and was chosen well.
Everyone looked the part and it was great to see that all the groomsmen were in attendance. Barnsi had missed the rehearsal the night before due to ‘not being able to find his car after shopping at Gateway’. You can’t say that’s not original.

Philippa looked beautiful walking down the aisle and both bride and groom had that look on their faces suggesting they wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.

After the ceremony we cruised over to the reception which was at a renovated castle down near Shongweni way. While the newly married couple antagonized their cheek muscles on the photo shoot, the rest of us guests milled around outside the castle eating snacks and playing ‘man-sized’ Jenga.
Once Andy and Philippa arrived we made our way into the reception hall and the rest of the night unfolded with all the usual formalities and culinary festivities that these weddings usually entail. A particular highlight of mine was Barnsi’s 21 point speech about Andy, which represented the 21 years that they have known each other.

All in all it was one helluva good party and a great celebration. Cheers Andy and Phil, here’s to many many happy years of marriage.
