Finally, the long awaited wedding photos...

Stefan getting ready in the am. My little brother, all grown up!


Genae got ready at her parents place. Then did a photo shoot there. She looked amazing. And we had great weather (after a week of rain!)


The wedding ceremony...vows, tears, smiles, I do's, the rings : ) , beauty.




Congratulations!


Now presenting Mr. & Mrs. Lako - that takes a little getting used to, doesn't it ??!!!

Reception at the Oasis - at Mercy Ships

Steef & Genae make their appearance. The party is on...

The bridal party. I must say, the food was delicious. Great job Shirley!!

The first dance. How sweet. A little nervous at first, but at the sound of the '80s music, all was well.

Genae did all of the flower arrangements herself. I helped out. Fun fun. A cold room, lots of flowers, 300 limes, lots of creativity. And a beautiful outcome.

And then there was dancing...the children loved it. As did many of the grownups!

The cutting of the cake. The most exciting part was when Steef smother Genae with the cake of course : ) He's always up to something...

The siblings...

And off they go. Actually, they didn't quite leave for good. They showed up again at the brunch the next morning - more about that later- before heading off to Mexico.

I hope the photos do it justice. It truely was an amazing wedding!!!
