My son Mark marries Lisa

My son Mark married Lisa in a beautiful ceremony in a stone chapel at the Secret Garden venue in a nature and game reserve near Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. The rain lashed down when we arrived for the wedding but by the time it was over the sky cleared and the most beautiful double rainbow appeared.. see pics below. They make a stunning couple and Mark was the first of my  kids to tie the knot. It was a beautiful occasion and everything was awesome from the couple, to the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the setting, the colours, the food and the guests. A proud moment for dad seeing his son get married.
