Rae Hawthorne

Married on Apr 22, 2017 in Western Cape

Our Wedding

All brides remember their wedding day & we all had the most amazing day of our lives.

After waiting for our guests for almost an hour due to an overturned truck blocking the road into Hout Bay, we were so thankful that everybody stuck it out through the traffic & all made it, truly beautiful friends indeed.

Our wedding was a day I will never forget. Celebrating our Love for each other with our family & friends was truly special. I married the most amazing man in the world - my best friend & my twin flame.
