Magical Moments

 

This has got to be arriving at the Ceremony on our wedding day! After so much planning before the wedding, and getting ready, on our wedding day when I walked down that aisle and saw the love of my life standing there with tears in those green eyes I started to cry with tears of happiness, knowing in my heart this love of ours will be forever!

The Honeymoon

 

We went on on the MSC Cruise that goes to Mozambique for 4 nights. Was a lovely Honeymoon, no contact with the outside world!

My Special Day

My hair was done in Naturals Curls hanging to the one side, with Gip Flowers in. Make up was not overdone, just the way I like it. I wore pearl Bracelet which was something borrowed, and Pearl earnings. Lingerie was nice Lazy white lingerie.

I had our robes done at Candylicious Lingerie , where Sonja assisted me at last minute, and done a great Job!

Karin Roode did our Make up and hair,

The Venue

We had a weekend wedding, at Luiperdskloof Game Lodge (Bronkhorstspruit) , where everyone arrived Friday for a get together and Saturday was our wedding! All our guest stayed over at the Venue.

We had the most amazing view where we held our Ceremony. All our Guest were transported with Game Vehicles where we got married at the River with the most beautiful back ground. And from there they went back up to where the Reception was held, with lovely snacks and Live Music by Cristoffel R J Fourie while we were busy with photos. When we arrived at Reception afterwards, our DJ sang live and played music, awesome night!

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I was just training at Aroeka Fitness to get into shape , Susan is very good at what she does. And then went for teeth whitening before the wedding. Went for massage two day"s before wedding at Crystal Rose Spa!

Wedding Elements

All my Decor was done by Glammed Style Events (Tuanet). You will see how stunning everything looked! She went out of her way to make sure everything went as planned, she is so professional and does everything to the best. She listened to what we wanted and did exactly that. She made sure that I had no stress when arriving at the venue. My day would not have been so glamorous without Tuanet's help. As said above, we had the Ceremony at the River (kranse) and snacks was held at the pool where everything was done very Rustic, with live music and then Reception was at Boma (Reception Area).
