How did your love story begin?

 

Music brought us together...
I went on vacation with my family near the Kruger National Park.
One morning I went for a walk by the river when I heard music playing. A few of his friends were playing on the guitar and we started singing together, next moment the drummer (my husband) came along and we became friends.
Now we are married and together in a rock band.

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

He woke me up very early on a Saturday morning, rushing me to come with him. He took me to a mountain, at the to he had a picnic blanket with coffee and some sweet stuff. We overlook the city as the sun rised. He went down on his knee to propose.
I was so overwhelmed I didn't even say yes at first and just kissed him.

Magical Moments

 

Our wedding day was the best day. We only had our closest friends and family with us. It started to rain ALOT.
It was very difficult to take pictures. Eventually I picked up my wedding dress and ran in the rain to take pictures outside.
It came out so beautiful.

The Honeymoon

 

Yes we did. We went to Capetown. Everyday we did something else. It was the best holiday ever.
