My Knight: Dakota's Second Chance

CHAPTER 15

Ndabe is impossible. He refused for me to drive my own car and practically forced me to drive with him. He said he is going to play chauffer today but from the time of his voice, I don’t think he is going to allow me to drive my car anytime soon because of baby Gram. We get to work and we both head inside since we are meeting up with Kabo and Marica. We find them waiting in the small boardroom where most client meetings are usually held.

“Mr. Mpisi and Miss Muller, thank you for trusting us with your perfect day.” Kabo says with a smile and I just laugh. Ndabe opens a chair for me and after settling down, he takes a seat next to me. “So we would like to know what kind of a wedding you guys want. Small or big celebration? Countryside or in a luxurious hotel? Morning or evening wedding and are you guys going to have a Zulu wedding?”

“Just paint a picture for us and we will see what we mix with that.” Marica says. I clear my throat and lean towards the table.
“I have never really thought about my dream wedding like in deep detail but now that I am tasked with that, I would like or wedding to be a simple but classy wedding, preferable in vineyards. I want it to be cozy but big at the same time. I want people to feel free not to dress to impress or even find themselves hiring gowns just for this occasion. So guests should be allowed to wear what they want but no skimpy clothes, please.” Everyone laughs. “So first things first, find a vineyard in Cape Town which can accommodate our wedding. Check the availability because everything revolves around the venue.” They nod and note a few things down.

“What about the colours of the day?” Kabo enquires.
“I love grey. I don’t know what Ndabe things but I would love a 50 shades of Gray theme without the kinkiness of course.” Ndabe laughs.
“I don’t mind the kinkiness love.” he whispers in my ear and I giggle. “I love gray, so I have no complains about the colour.”
“I also want the wedding to be an outdoor wedding. Meaning the reception will also be outside. So whatever venue you find, make sure it has a great outdoor area. If it’s a hotel, the reception should be by the pool for great pictures. But also make sure to have a backup indoor venue because Cape Town weather can be very unpredictable.” I comment and Marica nods. “Please ask the décor team to mix something vintage and glam and then show me the results. I want my wedding décor to be glamorous but I also love a touch of vintage in it.”

“I don’t think I could’ve pulled off a surprise wedding.” Ndabe says and I laugh at him. I would’ve appreciated a surprise wedding but I think there were going to be many things I would’ve not preferred and would’ve loved to change there.
“So you want a rustic-chic plus boho-vintage?” Marica asks and I nod. “I think we should make sure that the vineyard produce at least a crate of non-alcoholic wine, if there is such.” I laugh and nod.
“I would really love to be accommodated.” I state. “And I need the menu to be flexible. For both vegetarian and non-vegetarian people. You don’t need to worry about my wedding gown and his suit. We will sort ourselves out. We will also buy the rings. As I have said, everything revolves around the venue. Our in-house caterer will cook if the venue is independent. Also our photographers will cover the wedding.”

“Should we have it published on the ‘I DO’ magazine like always?” Kabo asks and I nod. “The cake?”
“I want a simple 3 tier cake with chocolate, carrot and Ndabe’s favourite flavour.” I turn to him and he smiles.
“Caramel.” He says. “Also include two separate 1 tier cakes for our parents. I need a live band to perform throughout the wedding and maybe 2 famous artists to entertain the guests, also a poet.”
“Which artists would you like to perform on your wedding? And which band would you like to play for you and your guests?” Kabo asks.
“Who is your favourite artist my love?” Ndabe asks. I look at him and bite my lip. “Even if he or she is from overseas, if you want him or her to perform at our wedding, I will make things happen.”
