The moment I will cherish forever is when I walked down the isle and I saw my husband at the end waiting for me with tears in his eyes. He was looking handsome as always, but it felt like the first time I ever laid eyes on him.
O yes! We went to cape town. I have never been to Cape town. He went out of his way to show me everything! It was a first for allot of things for us.
I wanted a 'farm' wedding with horses and koeksisters.... I wanted my makeup to look natural but still glamours.I had the best makeup artist. We became friends after my wedding. I could recommend her any day Corne Van zyl 0845960048 I had to do my hair up so that you could see the back of my dress . The dress was an A-line dress because I think it suits me better. I did not want very shiny jewelry because I wanted the farm vibe where everyone can just have a nice time without worrying about all the fancy stuff.
We got married on a farm +- 6 Km outside Bronkhorstspruit. We did everything our selves. We decorated the horse stables ,we did the draping ,made the food etc. All the guests went home or to a Guesthouse. It was a friend of our's farm so there were no place to sleep.
I went on a diet about 2 months before the wedding and I lost about 8kg's . I went for a facial about a week before the wedding so that my skin could feel soft and look great,.
The decor was a mix between farm and country. I wanted something else. I went to Coligny a town just outside Lichtenburg to a aunt of mine who use to do weddings on her farm. She then gave me allot of old things that I can use like wooden pallets and other rusty stuff. It looked beautiful .
The groom wore a black chino with a white shirt, black bow tie,black suspenders and black shoes. The groomsmen wore a black chino ,white shirt ,black shoes and a black bow tie. We bought all their clothes and accessories from Truworths.
My Bridesmaid wore a beautiful off shoulder peach dress. I loved the way it complimented their style and look. I bought the dresses from Truworths.

I was very fortunate having 2 photographers taking the photos. Line Photography. The second photographer was Aim and shoot photography.They were so sweet and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Yes. My brother use to do weddings. So he organised everything. He helped me to think of everything that I had to do.
The food was prepared by my husband's aunts. We had a spitbraai. Each aunt prepared a salad or made something for the desert table. The cake was made by a nice lady Mariaan. She was the only one who could help us on such short notice.Yes we forgot about the cake.
My brother designed the stationary and we printed it at 'Lay it out printers'
The party was very fun. We had a DJ who read the people so well he played just the right music for everyone to dance on.
