Magical Moments

 

One of the most special moments was having our 2 little Boston Terriers at our wedding !
As part of our gift registry we asked our guests to donate to the Boston Terrier Rescue of South Africa.

This was very dear to us and we managed to raise an incredible amount !
So blessed they could have been a part of our day

My grandad also came into my room as i was dressed and serenaded me as he does for all our family weddings !
He had us all in tears !

The Honeymoon

 

We went to our favorite destination and the most beautiful place on earth - Thailand .
Thailand is very special to the both of us as we celebrated our engagement there as well
