Magical Moments

 

In the church my (now Husband) played me a recording where he tells me about a message he sent to me when we first met. I actually still have this message. On the message he tells me that I will only understand how much he loves me on a specific day in our lives and that he will tell me when this is as soon as it happens,,, Now we had a little oopsie a year ago and from this oopsie came our little miracle "Reinhardt" our son. I was always sure that he meant I will understand his love for me as soon as I feel the love I have for our son. The love I saw in my husband's eyes on the day of our wedding was exceptional and definitely a memorable moment.

The Honeymoon

 

We wen to Mauritius for seven nights, we booked the Honeymoon through Flight Centre at the Ambre Hotel and Spa. The guy that helped us at Flight Centre was really great and a pleasure to deal with, his name was Charl from the Cradlestone bbranch.

My Captured Moments

Photographer - Into The Woods
From the beginning they made us feel so comfortable, they laughed and cried with us and we loved that we were able to share our special day with them.


Videographer - Quake Portfolios
Natacha is such a sweet heart and her work is amazing, I cannot wait to see out video!

The Wedding Planner

I planned everything myself, however my sister-in-law was a rockstar on the day and she did most of the coordination on the day and the week before.

Wedding Transport

We did not have a wedding car as it was not necessary with the venue we chose.

Food & Cake

The food was done by the Venue and our guests are still talking about the food! It was amazing!

The wedding cake was done by Kelly Jaynes and it was not at all what I asked for, I almost did not use the cake on the day. We changed it ourselves to make it work for the day.

Wedding Stationery

Marike from MMES Designs she is really good at what she does and such a patient human being haha, I was kinda a control freak!

The Reception and Entertainment

We took no dance lessons, we decided to wing It lol...

The Deejay was Paul from Zoo Sound, awesome guy! Our Guest were dancing and partying until we were all told to go to bed.
