Ch. 1 · So close

Ch. 2 · The neighbour
Burgundy Estate
Then Burgundy Estate, the very same block: a wave from the first floor, a smile, a quick talk.Just neighbours. Just a smile. Nothing more... yet.
Ch. 3 · Stage 6
A photo from the early days
When Stage 6 struck and the whole block went black, his inverter kept the lights on, and she never looked back.Dinner and a movie. Even Eskom had plans for this love story.
Ch. 4 · Ducks & dinners
Your walks to the dam
Walks to the dam where the ducks paddled by, and friendship grew into more, by and by.Movie nights, dinners and conversations that came more easily every time.

A night out at The Barrel
On the dance floor at The Barrel, three words slipped out; he said them again the next day, without a doubt.With Corné's friend Divan on the dance floor as witness.

The Day
When golden light is on the vine, we'll say “I do”, then pour the wine.
[Time]
The "I do" part
Among the vines at DuVon Wedding Estate De Goree, Robertson, Western Cape Open in Google Maps
[Time]
The party part
DuVon Wedding Estate, with the Langeberg mountains for a backdrop Same venue, so no driving between the two
The schedule
[Time]Guests arrive, fashionably on time
[Time]Ceremony
[Time]Cheers, then say cheese
[Time]Dinner is served
[Time]Our first dance, then it's your turn
What to wear (besides a smile)
[Dress code, e.g. formal, in soft or earthy tones]. Robertson in November runs warm, so think breathable fabrics, and bring a light layer for when the sun goes down.
All roads lead to "I do"
Travel & Stay
By road or by air, from near or from far, here's how to find us and where to park the car.
Finding us
DuVon is in the De Goree valley just outside Robertson, in the Valley of Wine and Roses. It's about two hours' drive from Cape Town (Cape Town International is the nearest airport). Open in Google Maps
Park it here
[Where to park, and whether it's free.]
Rest your head
The DuVon Farmhouse
On the estate itself: a historic farmhouse among the vineyards and fruit trees, with a veranda and a pool. Zero metres from the dance floor.
Robertson town is a short drive away, with plenty of guesthouses and B&Bs.
[Our recommended places, once we've picked them]
No riddles here, just answers
Good to Know
Questions big and questions small, we've done our best to answer all.
Are children welcome?
[Placeholder] We love your little ones, but our day is adults only. Please check your invitation for who's included.
Is there parking?
[Placeholder: where to park and whether it's free.]
What will the weather be like?
Mid-November in the Robertson valley is usually warm and sunny, with cooler evenings. Bring sunglasses, a light layer for later, and shoes that are friends with grass.
Can I take photos?
We'd love an unplugged ceremony: phones down until we're officially hitched. After that, snap away.
Who do I ask on the day?
Ask [contact person] on [phone]. They'll know everything.
