Magical Moments

 

Wow 2 beautiful days of my life , it was two days wedding in the dusty streets of Mount Frere situated in the rural areas in the Eastern Cape and in the rural areas of whittlesea outside Queenstown.
The highlights of the 1st
day was when my dad walked me dawn the aisle and handing over myself to the man of my dreams who has been part of my life for eight years.
I was also suprised by the way the page boy,flower girl and my beautiful bridesmaids made the grand entrance during the metrominial as I totally didn't plan anything on how they will make the entrance I just choosed the entance song.
It was a simple, very classy and elegant wedding and believe me for a moment people even forgot they are in the deep rural areas. That is how beautiful this day was.
And for day 2 it was when I officially meet and bieng introduced to my in laws for the first time as I never meet with them before and when i was being welcomed as a Makoti and given the name Uyanda.

The Honeymoon

 

Unfortunately because of the budget, culture and traditions I had to go and stay for 10 days at my husband's home, to do makoti(new bride) duties and unfortunately because I was the one who was planning everything for the wedding so i took my leave end November, so i didn't not have enough leave days, so we planned that we will go for a honeymoon when we celebrate our one year anniversary.
