We had a spectacular venue by Chez Charlene close to Lynnwood drive in Pretoria. The flowers and 5 star venue was set up exactly the way we wanted it and it was the happiest day of my life.
I remarried after 30 years and absolutely wanted to make the most memories we could, and we surely did.
We onlyhad 40 guests which made it so intimate and special and we could interact with all our guests throughout the reception.
It was beautiful and I will never forget it.
I designed my own dress and made it halfway and then requested Mina from Bellamina to finish it.
She did a fantastic job.
Everyone just loved my dress and veil and says its so fairy-tale-like and I looked like Cindarella.
That was exactly the look I wanted and I really did feel like a princess.
Dress had a blush pink undertone.
I would like to share my beautiful memories and photos with other mature ladies my age and give them inspiration for their day if they would find their true love later in their lives.
Doesn't matter how old you are, its never to late to find your prince and marry him and feel like a real princess.
We have not yet gone on honeymoon as we are under work pressure but will take our break later this year.
My make-up was done by Jeanine at SkinPhd in Zambezi, Magalieskruin. It was a smokey eye with very light pink. My hair was done by Jacque from same salon. I loved everything about my look

I lost 54 kgs and as I reached my goal weight I met my husband and we fell in love immediately.
We were meant to be together and we knew it from day one.
I didnt do much before hand as to only live and eat healthy.
I had pienk and white roses and all fresh from the market and fresh Orchids on the tables with pink candles, goldish serviettes and golden serviette rings with pink and glass underplates.
We did not have any groomsmen or bridesmaids.

My brother was my photographer and took over 2500 photos. He had two cameras and his son Rynhard helped him.
Deone and Charlene from Chez Charlene did everything for me

I got dressed at the venue so didnt need transport. It was right behind the chapel.
Chez Charlene prepared our food and it was of absolute 5 star quality. My sister-in-law Anneline Niemand made my wedding cake and Cheez Charlene supplied the roses.
I had special invitations and asked Dorette to print on the inside of the invitation.
Each invitation were sent to our guests by Postnet
We had a wonderful dance floor which wwe opened. Stven was our sound engineer (through Chez Charlene) an Lyndi Lee was our singer/entertainer.
No we didnt go for dance lessons, my husband couldnt dance but we didnt let that stop us, we chose a song that we could move slowly over the floor with lots of smoke so no one could see if we made it or didnt....hahaha!!
