Magical Moments

 

Our Wedding Day was truly one of the best days of my life. We didn't spend 1000's of Rands or do something super fancy, but we simply did something that represented who we are, relaxed, happy, easy-going and present to take in every moment. Our service was in the Central Methodist Church in the Cape Town city centre and our reception was a Tiger's Milk in Muizenberg. I think of one word when I remember our wedding day- CELEBRATION! From the moment the day began we were laughing and enjoying everything we could. I fortunately cannot related to the assumption that brides don't remember their wedding days or get a chance to take it all in. I remember every moment fondly, like it was yesterday.

The Honeymoon

 

We were blessed enough to be able to go on two honeymoons. For the week after our wedding, we stayed local, at Arum Lilly Cottages. It was a wonderful experience. Think, log cabin, outside fire jacuzzi, right on the lake... you get the picture! It was very relaxed and just what we wanted. Then we saved our big adventure for a few months later so that we could attend our friends wedding in Croatia. Which most probably doesnt need any words for any one to conclude that it was breathtaking. David and I kept it very simple though, as we do. We took our backpacks, a map and with the help of air bnb, we got around right from the South of Croatia all the way up the coast to the North.
