Magical Moments

 

I always thought I should keep a look out for my husbands expression when I walk into the chapel, but the moment I saw him waiting for me, I started crying. I then realized the moment was just as big for me as it was for him.
Although I helped him pick his suit and went to every fitting, nothing will compare to the moment I walked into the chapel.

We have been friends for 24 years.
We have been together for 8 years.
We have been engaged for 3 years.
We have been married for 2 months.

The Honeymoon

 

No, we took our children on a family holiday to Ballito.
