Herman het lank gewag vir Leentjie om uiteindelik te besef dat hy dié één vir haar is.

Die gaste by hierdie lieflike bostroue het ook saam gewag vir die reën om verby te trek sodat hulle buite kon trou.

Die hele dag was deurdrenk met simboliek van hoop en belofte.

 

I greatly rejoice in the Lord,
I exult in my God;
for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation
and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness,
as a groom wears a turban
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth produces its growth,
and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.

Isaiah 61
