My most amazing day started off with the blessings from above, right there I knew that this would be the best day of my life.
I will always remember the way Piet looked at me when the doors of the church opened up, the look of pure perfection.
Words can not describe the instant emotions I felt when the man of my dreams was standing there.
The highlight of the day was when the reverend announced us Mr. & Mrs. Dirkse van Schalkwyk, knowing that the wait for the right person was worth it. The day was flawless and could not have gone any better.
We had the most blessed day with all our loved ones being there, family and friends from abroad, especially the heartfelt privileged having my 90 year old Granny attending our wedding.
I was taken to Bali, the beautiful tropical island in Indonesia.
Without any hesitation the best experience and holiday destination, a surprise honeymoon I'll never forget.
