For the ceremony at Harusi Lawn, soft rose petals lined the aisle leading to the bower-shaped altar, where the groom awaited his bride under the dappled sunlight of the trees. Flowers in shades of coral and purple adorned the chairs as the guests welcomed the bride and her father, and the ceremony began.

Rachel and Abe exchanged their "I do's" under a magnificent acacia tree with views of the African Plains as the picturesque background. An uninvited but most welcome guest stopped by and curiously craned his neck to check on the beaming newlyweds.
