Magical Moments

 

Memorable moments were, having apart of my dad with me on the day even when he is not physically here with us today. My godfather - walking me down the isle, being there for me as a father during everything.
My mother - being there for me while getting ready, keeping me calm, crying with me and helped me get ready.
My baby sister - she was extremely emotional on this day, she was supporting and loving.
And then when the doors opened at the chapel and I saw my husbands face.
The tears in his eyes and his smile. Wow!
All I could think of at that moment was him and how excited I am for this journey.

The Honeymoon

 

We went to Hartenbos, Mosselbay for our honeymoon.
It was absolutely perfect! Local is lekker definitely.

My earrings and bracelet I got from Lovisa. A beautiful rhinestone bracelet with a very plain hanging earring.
My absolute beautiful lace & pearl bohemian style dress was from Lacy Lace in Boksburg. They have absolutely awesome and beautiful dresses!

My Bridal Beauty Regime

This was such a huge process for me, I have been battling with gaining weight for years and through the whole planning I lost a lot of weight.
When I chose my wedding dress the goal was to gain weight so that I could physically fit into my dress as it was already a size 8.
I had no diet that I followed I literally ate what I saw but I kept track of everything.
Keeping my skin clear from breakouts I stopped eating chocolates, I used coconut oil and bio-oil every 3rd day on my face.I did not use any harsh face washes as they tend to make your face break out.
