Wow, I love this, it's so cool.

And these are the things we saw

in the Cape.

This is not what we discussed,

I asked for a dark protea and

a light protea on each table,

not two light ones.

(House alarm)

Could you quickly taste?

It's the dessert snacks.

No, no, no!

We took in that dress with two

centimetres yesterday.

We've been working on this

for a long time, Nina.

It's just for one more night, okay?

You're right.

Oh sorry, that's my phone. Hold this.

Wow, this is yummy!

Ronel, good afternoon?

My goodness...

I'm on my way.

(Alarm sounds)

Go, go, go, go, go...

We have him! We have him!

Damn it, I'm telling you

it's my mom's house!

Yeah, yeah.

You can explain that in court.

Hugo?

Goodness, that's my child!

What are you doing?

Free him, you can't do that

to the poor child. Free him!

Help the man up. Free him!

Who's in control here?

Very sorry, Auntie. Sorry man.

Righto! Call it in, men. Call it in!

Hello, Mom.

Sweetheart...

Why didn't you let me know?

I would have prepared your room for you.

I wanted to surprise you.

I've just stored this here

for the time being...

the bakery has started taking over.

I'll tell you what, let me take this box

in the meantime...

Mom...

I will, it's not necessary.

Well, I have to go and bake.

I'm so happy you're home.

Bake... I have to bake now!

It's such a pity...

We're going to miss our story times.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Sometimes in life,

we have to make sacrifices.

And your own fairy tale is coming

true, my love.

Come, we have a big day

we need to focus on.

You're right, Mom. Being Mrs Retief

is going to take up all my time.

When's the last time

you spoke to Nina?

Years ago... Why?

(Knock on the door)

Please put the koeksisters

in the fridge.

Oh, morning, Willem.

Hello, Ronel.

- Please come in.

- Thank you.

Your pastries always smell so lovely.

Thank you.

Sorry, Hugo, I'm sure

you remember Minister Willem.

Yes, of course. Minister.

Welcome back, young man.

Your mom never stops

talking about you.

I've seen each and every publication

that has your photographs in it.

I thought I'd come and work

on the cage...

What's wrong with the cage?

No, nothing. I just thought...

I've wanted to use that space for

quite some time.

You're probably here for the wedding?

No... Who's getting married?

The Lombaard girl.

The entire upper town

has been invited.

And... and... the guy?

Retief. Anton's son.

Well... I don't want to keep you any

longer, you have a lot to catch up on.

I... I really assumed you knew.

No, I'm happy for her.

This is what she's always wanted.

I'm going to have a quick shower

and then I'll come and help you.

Hugo!

I'm coming, Mom.

Oh, here you go.

I'm late for the function and there are

more baked goods than I thought.

And don't argue, come with me.

Come!

It's not a good idea, Mom.

It was years ago, Hugo.

Everyone will be happy to see you again.

Now please help your mother.

And all along it was actually

Auntie Ronel's son!

That's impossible, Gert.

Man, I swear. Check here,

I took a photo.

Look at this...

My goodness.

Speak of the devil, here he is.

Paarl's old troublemaker is back...

Stand a bit closer, please.

If you could please give me

the opportunity to say something.

As a father... you're always worried

about the man

your daughter will

bring home one day.

They say... a daughter wants a man

just like her father.

For many years,

I thought that wasn't true...

And then Retief showed up.

Thank goodness!

Yes, my wife sometimes tried harder

than my daughter.

My princess... you couldn't have

made a better choice.

A man with a plan.

Retief... Welcome to the family.

To Nina.

And Retief.

Nina and Retief.

Cheers!

Lank Sal hul lewe, lank Sal hul lewe!

Let's... let's save that for the wedding.

Thank you for this opportunity,

Uncle Johan.

Nina... you and Retief inspire me

to keep on believing that

my prince is still out there.

Yes, maybe I'll still have to kiss

a few frogs...

but when I look at the two of you,

I know that it's all worth it.

And then I'd like to tell all the single

girls that our big day will come.

We're going to find our prince and we

won't grow old alone!

Hashtag love!

Hear, hear!

I never used to believe in signs,

but that evening at our friend

Danie's wedding...

I caught the flowers...

and Retief the garter.

Then I started believing.

Excuse me...

And when is it your turn, Hugo?

How do you know me?

I'm the man without the plan.

Hugo probably isn't in one place

long enough to take a girl

on a second date.

But I hear you're a real jet-setter,

apparently your photos have been

published in every magazine.

Aren't you scared that you'll

grow old alone?

Mom...

I'm just saying...

Sorry, Ronel. I wasn't referring to you.

Christelle...

What?

You'd better take good care

of my daughter.

Johannesburg is a dangerous place.

Luckily you have friends

in high places...

If you'll excuse me...

Yes... excuse me too.

Wedding fever suits you.

Don't tell anyone.

I'm an emotional eater and...

it's stressful to organize

the perfect day.

It's our secret.

So Johannesburg?

Yes... Retief is starting his own firm.

That's it. We're finished.

Thank you so much for the lovely day.

Thank you for everything.

See you at the car.

Sleep tight.

(Church bells)

Together we're going to

experience all the beauty,

sadness and excitement of life.

Together we're going to experience

all the beauty,

sadness and excitement of life.

That's it. Okay, and breathe.

And out.

And in.

Okay, here's your flowers. And out.

Okay, I have my flowers.

We have the veil...

Michelle.

Oh, Nina! Cue cards!

My princess...

You look beautiful.

Thank you, Dad.

Ready to go?

Remember, left foot first.

Will everyone stand, please?

- Wing it, buddy!

- I've got this...

(Wedding march plays)

As a sign of their love,

which will burn forever,

this loving couple would like to start

a new tradition...

by lighting a candle together.

A candle?

Yes, be quiet.

Thank you.

Okay...

It's not working.

- Wait... Give it to me.

- Okay.

I think there might be

a bit of a breeze.

No, wait. Give it to me.

Do you have a lighter?

There...

- Thank you.

- Not yet, not yet...

That's it.

Amen.

The ring symbolizes the endless

union of his life with yours.

The wedding couple decided to

write their own wedding vows

and promise them to each other.

Retief, the night you asked me

to marry you,

I knew my biggest dream

had come true.

I promise, for the rest of

our lives together,

to build you up, support you,

and love you.

And to share with you...

all the beauty, and the sadness and...

to face all the challenges of life...

as life partners...

and one day too as parents.

I can't wait to be your wife.

Thank you.

Nina, with this ring...

With... this ring, I promise...

to forever...

I will... always...

I will...

Okay...

Okay...

Nina, I don't think...

I don't think we...
