As rain has been predicted for the day of the wedding, I wasn't too sure how it would turn out. But I woke up to a beautiful, sunny day. Another highlight definite highlight was arriving at the church, to find all my loved ones there to witness our nuptials. The reception hall was another one: strings of fairy lights, white chiffon drapes with gold accents. Simply magnificent. The Food and Wine was fabulous. The cake an absolute masterpiece. The cherry? Speaking to my sister and her family all the way from Belgium via a live video call.

The bridesmaids looked absolutely ravishing in coral infinity dresses which were also made by Jenny Witbooi. What made it special was that each bridesmaid wore a style which not only suited them but made them look timeless and elegant. The girls topped their look with sterling silver earrings and gold sparkled open toed sandals with an easy to walk in heel
The gentleman who officiated was Dominee Klate from the Pniel congregational church
The relationship we shared with my photographer was a happenstance of fate. My photographer happened to have been chatting to my cousin when he mentioned what he does and let's just say that it all fell into place. We did not make use of an official photo booth however we had props that the guests could take their own photos in their own capacity. My photographer was Cyril van Wyk.
Oh yes my friend Sir Evan did all the planning for the day and make sure everything is runnig smooth he really did an awesome job, I planned my wedding myself in less than two months.I had an amazing support structure within my friends and family who assisted wherever possible.
We were transported in a white new class Mercedes which was through Eddie Cloete
One of my best friends not only catered for my wedding but also made my beautiful wedding cake. Her name is Ira's Sweet and Savoury.
Invites designed by Bruchene Occassions. Printings was done by myself and the help of my friends. We spent an evening chatting and assembling the invitations and having a fun time.
The party lasted until the early hours of the morning, almost until the sun rose. We had an amazing reception surrounded by loved ones who celebrated our union. We did not have dance lessons however danced our first dance to Savage Garden Truly Madly Deeply which sums up exactly our relationship perfectly. Our lighting was by Bru lighting. Our DJ was Tauq who kept the party going and could read the crowd without fault.
