Wow! Where do I begin.
Our wedding day to me was the most magical day of my life.
Highlights:
- Spending the night before with all my girls, mother and mother in law.
- Waking up at 6 in the morning realising that I am getting married to the man of my dreams.
Yes we did!!
We started our honeymoon with a road trip where he packed us some sarmies that we previously had on our first road trip back in 2010. Our first stop was at a beautifull Game Reserve called Aquila, just outside Touwsrivier. We spend the weekend there. It was very special as neither of us had been on a game drive before. We did a few game drives on horse back, in game drive truck and on quadbike.
Our second destination was Knysna where we where welcomed by Elephant Hide guesthouse with rose petals in a heart shape and some champaign. We did whale watching saw plenty of dolphins and spend quality time together.
Our 3rd stop was Plettenbergbay. We satyed in a lovely guesthouse with the most beautiful sea view. In Plett we romed around at the local Restaurants and Deli's.
Last but not the least was our final stop in Wildeness where we stayed at Moontide Guesthouse. We visited some local Markets in Sedgefield as well as George. At Moontide Guesthouse we could paddle on the river and had the most beautifull sunsets. Our final night we had a romatic dinner next to the river with pizza and champaign.
All the guesthouses welcomed us with flowers and champaign. The whole honeymoon was a surprise to me that my husband organised. And I think he got some help from his mother. Hehe
We had a winter wedding at Eureka Estate. Our theme was Dusty pink, navy blue and gold.
Hair and makeup was done by the one and only Mana Makeup. My hair was done upstyle and my makeup was dusty pink and gold.
