Litchis in season, shoes off by ten

A December wedding ten minutes from the sea: ceremony in the orchard rows, dinner in the cool of the packhouse, and litchis — in season, picked that week — on every table instead of flowers.

“We watched the weather app for a year. It rained everywhere except Salt Rock.”
Josh

Marli Steyn flew in from the Cape — her travel-anywhere policy earning its keep — and shot the barefoot dancing until the DJ’s curfew. A hundred and fifty guests, most staying down the road, closed the books at R290 000.
