Prince Albert Wedding for Jozi Couple

- Elaine Hurford –

A casual remark paved the way for a country wedding for Johannesburg couple, Caroline Rix and Gordon Midgely. Caroline is an actress and Gordon has his own editing company for the film and TV industry.

When they bought their Meiring Street house last year, Elaine Hurford told the engaged couple how popular Prince Albert has become as a venue for country nuptials.

A few months later, they arrived to visit her, with an invitation, and the wedding was a fait accompli for March 24. A starlit dinner on the lawns at Abrahamskraal followed the ceremony at St John’s Anglican Church, attended by 80 friends and family from the UK and all over South Africa.

The ceremony and reception were accompanied by cello and harp recitals by professional musicians Marian Kimmel and Jane Theron, friends of the family.
Caroline and Gordon spent two nights at Dennehof Guesthouse before leaving for a ten-day honeymoon in New York.
