Magical Moments

 

I'm a very emotional person and was so scared that I would cry so much that my makeup would be ruin. I shaked so much when my dad brought me into the church but the moment I saw Tim standing in front of the church, with a hug smile on his face, a calm feeling came over me. Just seeing how he looked at me, with so much love, was the highlight for me

The Honeymoon

 

We booked our honeymoon threw Creative Honeymoon Solutions. It was a six night stay in the Garden Route, two nights in Plettenberg Bay where we stayed at An Ocean View Watch, two nights in Knysna where we stayed at Brenton on Rocks and two nights at Wilderness where we stayed at Porcupine Pie Boutique Lodge.

First night in Plett we had a nice romantic dinner at Zinzi Restaurant with a personalized menu just for us.
The next day we had wine tasting and a private lunch at Newstead wines. We than went to Tsitsikama and did the canopy tours.

In Knysna we went to spend some time with the rehabilitated birds at Radical Raptors and then afterwards for some Belgium chocolate tasting at La Carla Mask and Hot Chocolate Cafe. We than made our way to the Knysna Elephant Sanctuary where we spend some time with the beautiful Elephants.
The next day we went back to Plett to go to Monkey Land and than back to Knysna for a back massage at Le Spa Tranquille than for a boat trip on the John Ben.

On our way to Wilderness we just had to do the quad bikes at Adventure X and had a quite afternoon at the Lodge with a nice picnic for two. The next day we drove to Botlierskop Game Reserve for a game drive and lunch.

We really had a honeymoon to remember.
