Magical Moments

 

I will never forget the way that I felt, just seconds before my father walked me down the aisle. That magical moment where a heartbeat felt like a lifetime; where it felt like I could inhale every single detail; the moment when I felt absolutely euphoric, and yet, overwhelmed by absolute bliss. I was getting married to my soulmate; my best friend.

Our special day was filled with close family and friends, good food and lovely music. Both Wilhelm and I are extremely family orientated, and this helped us set the tone for our wedding. We wanted a relaxed and romantic atmosphere, where all our guests could feel like part of the family. This was achieved by a lot of different elements; from hand made invitation cards, all the way up to my grandmother's home made apricot jam.

Our wedding day was truly a celebration of life, our love for each other and our Heavenly Father. I wish that I could relive this day over and over again!

The Honeymoon

 

For our honeymoon we went to Bottelierskop Private Game Reserve. Here we were spoilt and pampered by their exceptional staff and picturesque views.
