The Wedding Party
Vanessa Berghout
Mother of Honour
Not only my mother, but my best friend. She is absolutely the person that I can never live without. She is the Tom to my Jerry. Thankful for a Mother and friend like her.
Simone Kruger
Stepmom of Honour
I feel sorry for Cinderella that she did not experience the love that a Stepmother can offer. Blessed enough to call her my stepmom and friend. Simone is not a regular mom, Simone is a cool mom.
Gwen van Aswegen
Aunt of Honour
When family was handed out before the doors of birth, I never knew I could be so lucky to have a aunt that will double as my mother when needed and my best friend when wanted.
Chantal Maritz
Aunt of Honour
Perhaps not my aunt by blood, but I thank my lucky stars that she came as a package deal when I gained my Stepmother. Spoiler alert, she is as beautiful on the inside than what is showed on the outside.
Nathalie Henrion
Godmother of Honour.
She is the selfie queen of the family. She is also the one with the most love in her heart and never thinks twice to lend a helping hand. When she is in the room, you will be sure to have a laugh, either with her or at her.
Michele Theron
The GRAND flower girl
My most precious Grand-Mère, my Ouma. Too special for words. And just be careful, she will show you how you stand after having a few drinks and shooters. She might be older in years but she is definitely still young at heart. Petite but powerful. I will forever be your princess my dearest grandmother and I feel so honoured that you will walk the aisle with me.
Maggie and Liza Kruger
Sisters/Flower Girls/Ushers
When I found out at the age of 11 that I am going to gain not one but two sisters, I would not say I was too thrilled as being the only child was something I have gotten so used to. But let me tell you, as the years went by, I came to realise that a sister is a blessing and a forever friend and how lucky am I that have them in my life. I feel very privileged to have them both spend such a special day with me.
Amber Kruger
Sister/Flower Girl
The very last addition to the Kruger sisters. Dearest little Amber. Still so small but such a great blessing to her Mom and Dad. Her sissies will always be here to have her back and I feel so blessed to have her walk down the aisle with me on my special day.
Johann Kruger
Father of the Bride/Wingman
More than just the Father of the Bride, he is also my Wingman. Why? Because a Wingman looks out for you and make sure you are safe and make the right decisions. And this is exactly what my future Father-in-Law (Papi) has been for me and Irene. I see him not only as my Father, but as my friend and mentor. He commonly gets mistaken for Iron Man, and to us it is not because of how he looks but because he has honestly been a HERO to myself and Irene. Thankful to have him play a VERY important role in our wedding planning process as well as our wedding day.
Freddie Miles
Father of the Groom/Wingman
My dad plays many roles, Father of the Groom, Wingman and Ring Bearer and at a time coach and referee, but most importantly my dad plays the role of Best Friend and Safety net. Blessed to call you Dad. I am thankful that you were chosen to be my Father because from you I learnt to be a man, husband and one day a Father. Thank you for your giving heart and gentle soul. Thank you for always having my back. You have been there for the good and bad and I am thankful to have had you in my life with all of life's challenges. Dad, you are the perfect description of that quote that says a Dad is a son's first Hero. I love you dad.
Anne Berghout
Stepfather of the Bride/Wingman
He might be the Stepfather of the Bride, but he has also played such an important role in my life that I had no choice but to make him part of my Wingman crew. I value his knowledge and the way he loves his family. I look up to the way he always helps his loved ones and always wanting the best for them. I thank you for being such a wonderful Father and treating and loving my wife to be as your own.
Nelius Maritz
Wingman
Ou Neil... Nelius is just that type of guy you can't have any party without. At every party we have been together to, Nelius has cared for everyone around him, he always makes sure everyone is happy and sorted with a drink in the hand, and he always keeps an eye on me when I braai the meat... He is such a supportive Braai buddy and always makes sure I have a KWV'tjie in my hand. I am thankful for a Neil, otherwise I would be very thirsty. I have also never seen Neil not smile, no matter what life hands him, he takes it with such ease and grace. He is also the nicest person I know.
Heindrich Willers
Wingman/MC
If you don't have yourself a Heindrich, you should get yourself one. But I am sure there is only one like him. Heindrich may be my boss but he is so much more than that. He is a friend who always has my back. I can't explain how much I have learnt from Hein and how thankful I am that the paths were laid out in this way that I got to gain an awesome uncle. Oom Hein thank you for what you mean to me and Irene and we are honoured to have you not only as part of the Groom's Crew but also as our MC for the day.
