Once upon a time, in a field of cosmos
Isla and Lwazi met on a farm road outside Clarens one April afternoon, when her car gave up beside a field of cosmos and his was the only one to come past. He couldn't fix it. He did wait two hours with her for the tow truck, and they talked the whole time.
Six autumns later, they still drive out to that road every year when the cosmos is in flower. Last April, Lwazi stopped the car in the same spot, walked into the field and asked her to marry him.
So that is where we'll be married: in the hills, with the cosmos in bloom and all of you there with us.
