Magical Moments

 

Oh, wow, where does one start... this day was so beautiful and filled with love there is really no favorite.
But, a few highlights is when my husband (fiancé then) were waiting for me at the chapel and welcomed me with tears in his eyes, also during the ceremony he held my buttocks like we were just standing and waiting for something.
At the time we had out couple photoshoot she piggy back ride me, (because I had no shoes on).
Also when he kissed me he threw his arms around my neck pulled me closer and then smooched his bride for every one to take note that this lady is taken for ever now.
A very special moment when my step son handed over the ring, and looked at us like he accepted each moment and knew what promise we were making with those rings.
I loved the moment when the cake got cut and he did not smudge me, my face or anything with the cake he kept it clean like he knew his wife did not have extra make up to touch up with. (my sweetheart)

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

We went with a " Beach in the bush" theme, bride had a beautiful flowy dress and hubby an open v neck button shit, no tie, no suit jacket, just comfortable and open and beachy, brides hair loose with curls, little accessory just to stand out and groom spikey blond highlighted hair.
Shoes, oh wow rhinestone diamond strapped shoes, ( that got taken off at the canapé ) groom beautiful detailed pointy shoes that helped him dance like it's the end of the world.
We had such a special day and family and friends from far there were no time for lingerie or outfit change and that is also one of our special times.
