How did your love story begin?

 

On a flight from Johannesburg to Durban.

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

Paul booked us into the Taj Hotel in Cape Town for the night. We were drinking bubbles and as I was taking a sip I saw the ring at the bottom of the glass.

Magical Moments

 

I would definitely say when I flew in with the plane. No one knew we were getting married, so seeing everyone's faces made the day even more memorable.

The Honeymoon

 

We enjoyed an amazing holiday at the Sherpard Tree Lodge in Pilansberg.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

I had my hair and makeup done by Candice Meershoek. I wanted a very natural yet elegant look. She literally took 45 min to finish my look.

The Venue

We got married at the Stellenbosch airfield in a friend's hanger.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

Plenty of wine to calm the nerves

Wedding Elements

We drapped the whole hanger. We had lots of candles and short vases on the tables. I filled the vases with white rocks and pink proteas. We stuck to white and silver. A friend has a lighting company so he lit up all the planes parked outside. The hanger looked like a set on a Hollywood movie.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

My husband wore a crisp white shirt with his favourite jeans.

My Captured Moments

Laurette Van Der Merwe Photography. She has such and eye for capturing a moment in time.

The Wedding Planner

No

Wedding Transport

I flew in with a small plane called a Jorra

Food & Cake

My Italian friend made the most amazing three tier cake. We had a gourmet braai with all the traditional side dishes.

Wedding Stationery

It did my own table tags

The Reception and Entertainment

We rented a speaker, lights and microphone, the guests played all their favourite songs. There was never a dull moment
