Altogether 50 guests have been invited to the intimate wedding."There won't be many celebrities, but all the guys from Fokofpolisiekar, Van Coke Kartel and of Die Heuwels Fantasties will be there."
Best man
Francois van Coke, lead singer of FPK and VCK will act as Myburgh's best man. The pair have been best friends for years. Van Coke will also marry his long-time girlfriend Laren Wiid in February.
According to Da Silva, Myburgh's wedding garb which includes a jacket and a bow tie, was bought in Argentina, While Tarina's wedding dress and accessories were bought in London and Argentina.

"Tarina is OK. Everything's fine."
Tarina's grandmother Hortense Da Silva, will travel from Portugal especially to attend the wedding.
"Wynand was the first member of FPK who got engaged, and will now be the first one to marry. After him, the rest followed. I think they were waiting for someone to take the lead," Da Silva noted regarding the wedding fever that has gripped the rockers.
