Our wedding day was one of the most perfect days of my life. The entire wedding was memorable, from the word go memories was made, from choosing the venue, to decor, to dress fittings to menu selections, all unforgettable.
What made my day special was the fact that we had all our children in our wedding and their excitement was priceless.
The highlight of my day and a scene and memory that I will remember always, was when my dad walked me into church, and when I looked up to the altar and saw the look on my husband's face when he saw me and I saw the tears just roll down his face, and an emotion swept over me that I up untill today cannot explain, it was the best feeling in the world and it locked us in a moment where no-one else existed, just us, and from then for the rest of the day I was mesmerized as I could not take my eyes off my husband and he could not take his eyes off me and our smiles got locked on our faces and could not be removed. His first reaction and look on his face was the highlight of my day, I took his breathe away and he stole my heart yet again.
We had a two week honeymoon, in which we spent right here in Cape Town, we slept at our own home, however we went out every single day, we got up and would drive out to have breakfast, we did sight seeing all over Cape Town, places we just never got to see, it felt so good to feel like a tourist in our own City, you will not believe how much there is to do in Cape Town.
Drives and picnics on the wine route, drive around the Peninsula, and picnics and day camp at secluded beaches in Cape Town, endless restaurants to have supper at, lots of shows and theatre gigs, stand up comedy , boat cruises, islands to visit, markets to visit, there is quite a few waterfronts to visit, if you dont feel like driving yourself, you can hop onto the Red Topless Bus.
