Apart from muttering the words "I do" , there are 2 other most memorable parts of the day for me.
1. When our baby boy - Jackson (18 months) was running around during the ceremony making our guests and pastor laugh with his impish smile.
2. As a surprise to our family and friends, we dedicated Jackson in their presence as witnesses. Such a privilege to have everyone share in our commitment before one another and God, as husband and wife and as parents
All inclusive in Mauritius baby!!! WOOO, what an absolute treat, lovers paradise and all around amazing relaxing holiday.
I wouldn't change a thing ! Blissful sunny days, tanning, delicious sea-food and LOTS of cocktails :)
Our wedding was nestled in an industrial section of our amazing point water front in Durban . We based on the concept of the wedding around "Industrial Chic" with lots of rich colours, textures such as velvet, and lots of foliage - an entire roof littered with greenery!
We chose a social wedding (Canape's only) and entertained our guests with a saxophonist whilst we shot and did a creative shoot in the city.
I bought my wedding dress online and spent a quarter of what I found in the shops - I mean, you wear the dress ONCE for goodness sake.

Dave's suit was tailored, as he wanted a bottle green fitted suit which one cannot find anywhere in SA at this moment.

We got married in Point Road, at a small quaint venue The Courtyard, which can be found at the back of Ciao Bella Cafe'.
We chose a social type wedding, with canape's served all night and a cocktail style reception with no seating plan
Healthy eating, lots of excersize including bum toning and HIIT. Other than that , no other secrets to beauty :)
Decor was handled by the amazing team at Functions for Africa. The decor was all greenery everywhere you looked with deep rich red flowers. There were brass, metal framed tables and stunning velvet couches that gave a rich and eclectic feel to the venue.
We had a retro neon sign saying "Its Love" that we got married in front of, and that tied in the entire look .
Grooms suit was tailored by Dickson Tailors in Florida Road. My husband has never looked so handsome and dapper in all his life.
The groomsmen wore matching pants, shirts and belts from Country Road
The ties and bow ties were made by His Apparel
Bridesmaids dresses were made by the wonderful Nicole Hoyer, and the style fell in line with the rich colour and slightly glam chic look. Their dresses were touches of soft romantic colours, each dress a different shade to embrace their uniqueness
