How did your love story begin?

 

It began back in 2007 when we 1st laid eyes on each other and we knew it then that this was love. It was march Friday the 13th. We started off as friends and all grew into something beautiful.

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

We planned a week away with friends to go to Mozambique. It was about fun and a bit of break away little did I know that it was going to be the best holiday ever. Just before sunset we decided to go to the beach I was last to get there and I walked strait into a heart drawn on the sand it inside it was written "will you marry me" when I turned around he was on his knees with a ring starring at me and waiting for my YES I will marry you..

Magical Moments

 

The exchanging of vows was the best part of the wedding and the candle union as we were becoming one from then on.
