The most memorable moment of our day was definitely when I walked down the aisle and I made a song for my husband which played in the background and he could not stop crying. That moment when I knew today was the day that we got to spend the rest of our lives as husband and wife that was now our new normal was the most special for us.
We went on Honeymoon to Ngwenya lodge near the Kruger National Park. It was truly the best holiday ever and the sightseeing was amazing.
My wedding look:
Was very natural and plain, but still I felt like the most beautiful bride ever

We got married at Oakfield farm which is located in Muldersdrift Krugersdrop. It was not far for the guests so many of them did not stay the night, but Oakfield has a guesthouse if some wanted to stay.

My bridal beauty regime:
Health & Fitness: Me and my husband are big joggers so that is basically the only thing we did, but usually when I stress I lose a lot of weight so at the end of everything on our wedding day my wedding dress was to big!
Skin: I drank a lot of water to keep my skin hydrated and just did my normal day to day routines, I have very sensitive skin so I did not want to try anything new my skin might not liked it.
Teeth: Just did my daily routine and used teeth whitening toothpaste.
Spa treatments: We left the spa treatments for after the wedding!
Oakfield our venue mainly did all the decorations, we only had to provide the flowers which we ordered from Ansen flowers and consisted of a bouquet for our table and just rose pedals for the rest of the tables, he also provided a bouquet for me(I was so excited I forgot mine walking down the aisle) and a flower for my husband to pin on his jacket. We organized our sound and everything from church so we did not have to worry about that.
Groom: We bought his whole suit from Woolworths, He wore a blue suit, white shirt, blue tie, brown shoes.
Groomsmen: They had to organize their own suits, they wore white shirts, blue bowties, beige pants and brown shoes

My bridesmaids wore blue dresses they were all different styles and each of them bought their own dresses at different places according to their personality and they wore flower crowns which consisted of big green leaves made by Ansen flowers. All of them also wore different shoes in which they felt comfortable.
Our marriage officer was Charl Du Toit and Wouter van der Merwe.
Our special day was captured by Melissa Meyer photography. We did not make use of a videographer of photobooth.
Oakfield farm provides you with a planner to coordinate your day.
We used our own transport and did not arrange wedding transport.
Oakfield farm has their own chef so they prepared the food and Schweet emporium made our wedding cake.
Andore van der Merwe from Honey Be creative designed our wedding stationary.
The reception was more of a personal reception. We made our dance up ourself and practiced it in our kitchen. We had friends from the church who did our music and lightning. The rest of the reception we had a lot of emotional speeches and people praying for us and just bonding with everybody!
