It was a drissling day, but like they say. Rainy days are a Blessing on your wedding day. The host did everything for us and we decided to stay in a camping site....we love camping and as our honeymoon was at Drakensburg Timeshare we wanted something different.
During the ceremony it rained. When we went outside for photos it stopped. We continued to the Reception where it started raining again until the end of the evening. Everything was perfect.....it was the first time people told us that it was a wedding they attended where everything was perfect and to see that the Bridegroom was as calm as can be....like he said...."I know what I want." Close to the end of the evening we decided to ask the waiters/waitresses and the host to join us on the dance floor.
Yes We went to Goodesens @ Fairways Timeshare in the Drakensburg for a week. We went with a tour group from Underberg to enter the boarder at Lesotho....which both of us has never seen. We also entered the highest bar in the world.
My dress was a princess in a Fairy-tale and my hair was curled but yet left in length with a vail.
My dress was designed by Ligita Wedding Gowns in Kempton park (082 830 0938). I had my fitting appointment and when I looked at the dresses I loved the second one and it was EXACTLY what I wanted. I fitted and first time fitted as if it was made for me. Ligita made view changes to make it look more bling bling. The corset was the perfect fit and stabled for my back. I always want the crossings at the back and this dress just did everything. She had the dress ready a week before the wedding where my sister collected and brought down to the South Coast. I had flat shoes due to my back operation few months back. Lingerie was lace G-string with a blue garter on my leg as something new from my sister. Jewellery was pearls borrowed from my friend and accessories was an umbrella to give the beach having fun effect
