Magical Moments

 

Our story is pretty special as I literally can say that I had been waiting for this day my entire life.
The day I got to marry my soul mate. When telling our story of how we met, it begins with such a big smile as someone will always interrupt and say "they bathed together at the age of 5". Yes this is true; we went to the same Pre-School and become the best of friend. (PLEASE SEE PICTURE OF US AT THIS AGE IN THE GALLEY)
When it was time to go to Primary School we went our separate ways and totally forgot about one another as kids that age do. It was only years later when we were in Standard 9 that by the Grace of God we crossed paths...and let’s just say the rest is history, this beautiful man is now my husband and the father of our beautiful Son.

The highlight was without a doubt finally saying "I DO" and the most memorable moments that I will forever be eternally grateful for was having my father walk me down the aisle, blessed that my mother was there for me for all the nags and dress fittings, my brother who stood next to my husband to be and then of course we were eternally blessed that our Son could share the special day with us.

The Honeymoon

 

We will be going on a familymoon in July with our 2 year old son to Madeira.
