The biggest highlight of the day was marrying my best friend. The day was better than I could've imagined. Everything turned out perfect and there weren't any hiccups! I will not forget walking down the aisle and seeing my husband standing there waiting for me but as soon as I saw him and the tears in his eyes I realized that this was it...I'm getting married to the most important person in my life and that is when my waterworks started. Having most of our family there from far was also a highlight to us. After all the formalities it was so special and fun to spend the rest of the night with all our friends and family who supported us through everything!

I only found out the day after wedding where we were going for our honeymoon! My wonderful husband had arranged the whole honeymoon on his own. We went to Mauritius and Stayed in the Solana Beach Resort as well as the Preskil Beach Resort. I am completely in love with the country! I would go back any day and suggest it to anybody!
I am a very plain person so I didnt want to change that to much on my wedding day but I wanted to still feel and look pretty! My hair is also up in a pony so we tried a loose side pony type of effect for my hair...My make-up is always done natural so I still wanted to stay with the natural look but just have a smokey eye for the fotos!
The first time I went to fit dresses was the day I fell in love with my dress. It was the second dresses I fitted on and the Monday after my fitting I purchased it. I was looking for a full lace dress that would suit my body type. My wedding shoes I didn't spend to much time on as I knew I wanted something comfortable and I got the perfect Shoes from Zellies.
I didn't do to much jewellery, I only had long earrings and a diamante bangle. I didn't want to over do it with jewels.
We got married at the beautiful Lavandou Wedding Venue in Lynnwood. It was the first venue we went to view and we fell in love with it immediately!
Some of our guests did sleep over at a lodge 2km away from our wedding venue at Oude Hout Mountain Lodge.
We wanted to keep our decor plain and simple, We didn't want a busy table. So we only used lanterns,candles and flowers. Our wedding colors were Lavender and Aqua. And our flowers were Lavender and Rock Roses.
The Groom and Groomsmen all got their suites from Euro Suit in PTA East
The bridesmaid wore aqua dresses from The Maiden with a lace one shoulder and Silver heels
We had an amazing photographer. Tanya Langenhoven.
She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured so many special moments.
