After changing our wedding date twice due to Covid, we finally decided on the 10th of September 2021.
It was difficult to cut out our guest list from 150 to only 30 guests! But even with ALL the restrictions, God provided the perfect day and EVERYTHING was just magical! I enjoyed every moment of our day!
From: Getting dressed, reading the message on my shoes from my hubby :), walking down the isle, saying " I do" , singing our vows to each other , taking photo's while laughing till my belly hurt, cutting the cake, our first dance and celebrating with our lovedones. It was truly blessed and so annointed!
Even though we could not have our dream honeymoon abroad due to covid restrictions, we decided to explore the beautiful Cape Town. Booking in here and there. Seeing as we are also big FOODIES we went to different restaurants experiencing new cuisines. We also got a chance to catch up with our dearest friends and family and ended with a paragliding experience.

Just followed my normal skin routine, tried to eat healthy and went for my monthly treats at GLOW Knysna and The Beauty in by Elmarie Opperman. She also did my lashes, brows and nails.
