My moments, well the whole day was one memorable moment that I would want to do over and over again. It was literally the best day of my life. Highlights for me was the photoshoot and the first dance, the Arch made at the end of the night for me and hubby to exit. Another memorable moment was the speeches made by everyone, and also the gift received from my brother. The photobooth was one of the highlights of the night as well and people really enjoyed that. Taking off of the garter and throwing of the bouquet.
Yes we did, we went to a holiday house in Port Owen, West Caost
My wedding look - My hair was done by a stylist named Jade van de Post (friend of a relative who works independently and also for a salon now), my hair was in a up bun, 2 soft curls to the side of my face and curls made into a bun on top of my head. Make up was done by Alexandra Johnson who works independently - soft natural look, very beautifully. Wedding dress was a white princess style with lace arms and V neck line dress, veil was long. My dress was hire from 'My Unique Wedding' in Claremont, Cape Town. I wore gold shoes semmi high but comfortable. I wore lace underwear and silver jewellery (earings, necklace and princess crown).
The ceremony was held in my church (Corpus Christi Catholic Church), and reception was at Cape Point Vineyards, Noordhoek. No guests stayed over.
