Port Elizabeth - Afrikaans singer Dozi, perhaps best known for his rendition of Ou ryperd, performs in the Eastern Cape this weekend in what will be his swansong as a bachelor.
The wedding bells beckon, and shortly before he left on Thursday, Dozi was still frantically trying on and measuring wedding garments.
His agent, Calla Shutzler, said Dozi was too busy to give interviews because he was too busy with the wedding arrangements.
Dozi, who is 41, and his bride-to-be Muriël Lategan, 22, are getting married on June 15 near Moorreesburg, near the Cape west coast.
The couple met each other five years ago in a coffee shop at Langebaan, when Lategan was just 17.
Ilza Roggeband, Dozi's agent, said most of the 400 invited guest had already confirmed that they would be at the wedding.
The guest list includes Theuns Jordaan, Valiant Swart, Anton Goosen, Gian Groen, Minki van der Westhuizen and her fiancé Constant Visser, as well as Ferdinand Rabie and his wife Colene.
Roggeband said Dozi would join Lategan in Moorreesburg 10 days before the wedding, to help with the final arrangements.
Although she did not want to say much about the honeymoon plans, she let slip that it was a romantic destination, and Dozi's first choice.
